I was  a 9 year-old sitting in my fourth grade class right up front, closest to the teacher, at Willard elementary school in Quincy, Massachusetts. My teacher was called out of class abruptly........a few minutes later she walked back in with tears running down her cheeks and quite shaken. She told us President Kennedy had been shot and that classes were ending for the day.  My classmates and I were gathered together and we were led to the school buses....the school was shutting down. We were all quiet and unsettled, not really sure as to what was happening...... we went home that day and sat glued to the TV set for the next week. I could feel the sadness all around me, and tension as the adults in the family spoke in disbelief of the tragedy. What was happening to our country?
