50 Years Ago Today

I remember the phone ringing in our classroom. I remember the sadness on Mrs. Peter's face. I remember hearing the news of the assassination of our President. I don't remember the walk home  or what my mom said when I got there, but the TV was on and we sat transfixed that day, and for day's afterwards, watching the country mourn.

This Weekly Reader was published a few weeks later. I recently found it in a box of memorabilia, along with a biography of President Kennedy in my own third grade printing.
