I was same age as John John. My most vivid memory is of seeing all the grownups crying. Unnerving for a small child.

St. Rose de Lima School, New Orleans. All the sisters (our teachers) were weeping and praying and asking pupils to pray for the President. We felt bewildered and immensely sad. I was in 3d grade, and had never seen a nun cry.

How soon did the TV news bulletins air after the shooting?

Almost immediately, I'm pretty sure.

Looked it up - ABC Radio 6 minutes after, CBS TV 10 minutes after

I actually remember it. A sad day. Elementary school in a conservative area, where many of the kids cheered when they heard he had been shot.

I'll never forget that day... I was seven years old; all of the adults (teachers, neighbors, parents) were crying -- even the men! I'd never seen anything like that before (or since!).

Thank you for posting the history of this day, 54 years ago. I will never forget where I was when the news of
#JFK's assassination was announced.
