I was in 7th grade, they announced it over the PA, school was dismissed in Queens, NYC, I walked home, the tv was on and my mother was watching, my gran was watching, I think we sat at that tv for 3 days. I was frightened, so frightened, the unimaginable had happened.Of course being just a kid, I had believed that the President of the United States was untouchable, almost super human, they taught us of course that Lincoln had been shot, but as a kid in the 60's, that seemed like ancient history to me.
