The Russians are Coming
On social media today people are asking about the day JFK was assassinated--what was happening in your life if you were alive. I was in the 3rd grade and on the playground of my school. I remember the teacher up on a little hill calling us all in and with urgency, that we had to hurry. On the way up to her another child said the president was shot. They sent us home to be with our families. I worried about my dad. Did that mean he was in danger, too?

I don't remember how I heard about JFK, but I do remember when Bobby K was shot. My dad had just left for work and my brother and I were getting ready for school when my dad came running back into the house and breathlessly said that Bobby Kennedy had been shot, the four of us, mom, dad, brother and myself stood in my brother's room with the radio on listening to the report.
