katmanParticipantNov. 22, 1963 I was in Mr. Voris’s Mechanical Drawing class, 3rd Hall Denny Junior High, when all the class room phones rang informing the teachers who then informed the classroom that the President of the United States has just been shot.

shed22Participant“I was out in the yard, taking down the bed sheets, when the neighbor yelled across, ‘The President’s been shot!’. I remember where I was, just exactly where I was, in the yard out back.” – Sondheim, Assassins
