50 years ago today, I was sitting in my 3rd grade classroom when we got the news that President Kennedy had been shot. As we were leaving school that afternoon, fellow 3rd grader Susan Johnson told me she just heard he had died. I remember walking the 6 blocks home. My 8 year old mind could not comprehend the events of the day. Anytime I return to my old neighborhood, I go to that exact spot at St. Elmo Elementary school where Susan told me the bad news, just like I go to the patch of sidewalk outside our old house where I stood looking up in wonder at the moon just after witnessing Neil Armstrong walk on it. I can’t remember what I had for dinner last night but some moments in time will stay with me forever.
