[Symphony]

I was sitting in third grade class, on this day, forty years ago, when the news came over the intercom, that President Kennedy had been shot.  


(C. S. Lewis also died on this day.)

What were a third grader's thoughts on it?

[Symphony]

Silence, Ollie.

The whole class just fell silent.

[Forrest]

Silence, Ollie.

The whole class just fell silent.

     
             AMENto that I remember it well it was my frist day in R.E.Byrd Grade school 3rd Grade we had moved from Mi. to Chacago,big change. Our Third Grade teacher cried.

In my dad's school, the Bible had not yet been banished, and they had a moment of silence and prayer in honor of the president. And yes, teachers cried.  

[ollie]

A sad happening for Americans, and for America's history. It seemed to change America very much from then to now.

This is some world we live in. That's so sad. And CS Lewis-I love his work.
