I was in second grade, sitting in a classroom, waiting for the bus to arrive. The bus driver knocked on the window and the teacher opened it. I remember she had a shocked look on her face.
I went home, and told Mom that Kennedy had been assassinated, and she turned on the TV to watch the news footage.
At the time, I didn't have a clue what the word assassinated meant. I thought he'd recieved some type of award or something. It didn't take too long to figure out.
