I remember being let out of school early (second grade). I remember standing in the doorway between my brother’s bedroom and mine and being aware that everything was now sad in a way that was beyond any previous sadness. And I remember seeing Lee Harvey Oswald shot on television — that is what’s most vivid. What do you remember?

I was in algebra class when the announcement came. It was garbled.
Girls on the schoolbus were crying.
Television coverage was literally continuous for three days.
I was just 4 years old and barely remember. My main recollection is walking to the mailbox with my mother and just a feeling of anxiousness.
