I Was In English Class ...

... right after lunch when an announcement came over the school's public address system. "President Kennedy has been shot in Dallas!" There were several moments of stunned silence in the classroom and then some girls started crying. More joined in.

Within a half-hour, it was announced that classes were canceled for the rest of the day. Everybody was sent home.

Forty-one years ago seems like yesterday.
