I was in the fourth grade at Elk Trail School in Trail, Oregon. Two students came running back into class from their reading lesson and kept saying that the President had been shot. The teacher nearly lost it. She went to the supply room and came back with an AM radio and we tuned it to a Medford news station. All they did was talk at first because they didn't know anything yet, either. The story unfolded, and it was a real different time from then on. Seems that America lost its innocence that day. The rest of the 1960's seemed to be in a downward spiral after that.
