I was in grade school when the luscious Miss Deal came in and told us all to go home
Where were you 60 years ago today ?

Post pics of the lusciousness or shut up!
I wish I could; she perished in a car accident in the summer between that year and the next when she was 22 or 23 so many years ago
Junior at Depew High School; high school principal got me out of class to watch the tv broadcast.
My parents had not even met each other yet.
I was almost two. Strangely enough I remember watching Kennedy’s son saluting on the tarmac. My mother didn’t believe me until I described the room we were in when I saw it. The room was their neighbors house they lived next door to when my mom and dad were going to college. We didn’t have a TV back then and had gone to the neighbors house to watch the news.
Was a year and five months old. Don’t remember the assassination but remember we were watching live when Ruby shot Oswald. My mom screamed in horror.
Also remember my mom talking to someone on the phone about RFK snubbing LBJ when they deplaned after the flight back to DC.

I was in Lawton, changing stations from Goose AB, Labrador to Homestead AFB, FL. Later, I got to watch the all new Chrysler Hemi take 6 of first 7 places at the Daytona 500. NASCAR immediatly started making rules to slow the Dodges and Plymouths.
Newly conceived. My mom found out she was pregnant with me the same day Kennedy was shot. She said she didn’t know if she was crying because he got assassinated or pregnant again after giving birth earlier that year.
Fourth grade, our teacher was called out of our room in the early afternoon. She returned cring softly and said the something terrible had occurred. She tried to continue our lesson but she was having trouble concentrating. About 20-30 minutes later, another teacher opened the door and told our teacher that he died. Our teacher broke down sobbing and it took a long time for her to regain her composure. At that point, she told us about the assassination.
What I remember the most was 20-25 fourth graders sat we quietly that afternoon until the last bell rang and we left the school without anyone talking.

I was 7 and figured (even then) that LBJ was an evil idiot.
Also that it was such a tragedy that the NoFunLeague decided to play that weekend, not sure that was appropriate.
Little John’s salute and the wild riderless horse with the boots backwards in the stirrups were poignant

Same. Dad was a senior in high school in Iowa, mom a junior in high school in Alabama.
I was just a stain on my dad's bed sheet. Thankfully, I persevered. 🤣
All of my dads family is in western Iowa. Oakland, not far from Council Bluffs.
It’s even colder over there; I live in NE Iowa, close to where they build big green tractors
Maybe colder… more sunshine though
Never been to the NE part of the state. Always wanted to check out that area and Wisconsin across the river. Lots of nice country there
