I was in Mrs. Bartholomew's 5th grade class when a very white-faced high-school principal, Mr. Bulloch, came through our door and made the announcement that President Kennedy had been killed.


Off all the things that were said immediately after, the only statement that sticks in my mind what that of Mrs. Bartholomew:  "He was so young."






Lee Harvey Oswald...and only Lee Harvey Oswald....shot our President.

Kennedy had his own problems with his administration. Given the choice between him and lbj, I'd rather that it was lbj that had been killed. I really do think that Kennedy would have done less harm to the country than his successor did.

I think we would have been better off if it was Teddy. At least Mary Jo Kopechne's life would have been saved.

Well being that teddy is the poster child for retroactive abortion it goes without saying we would be better off without him at all. I don't believe he was in Dallas at that time though. Pity.

I don't have any idea of what I was doing at the time.   It didn't seem like a big deal to me.

I would have been a lot more upset and probly shed some real tears tho if I had known what LBJ was like and what he had in mind for the country.

Well, I was glad to get a day off from school. A 9 nine year old is hardly going to very sympathetic for someone he knows little about. Still, I definitetly noticed others being impacted by this.
