I was 9 years old..in 4th grade at Jackson School. We were watching a science film about flowers or some lame thing like that, when principal came in and turned on the TV in the auditorium. Then he announced later that school was closing because JFK had died and we were all sent home. A lasting image is passing by the classroom of another teacher and she was just standing by her desk crying.
