November 22, 1963 - I was in a one-room School

And, who was in a one-room school the day that President J.F. Kennedy was shot???

I hate to feel this old, but I remember that day so clearly! I was in school at the District 10 country school and Thelma West was our teacher. It was the first year that our school even had a telephone. It was one of those very old ones.

It was a rare thing in that day and age to call off school (even in the middle of a blizzard), the they did that day! It was a very somber day, and for several days afterward. I can still see the black and white TV broadcasting this awful event.

I bet you all remember the exact moment of that event and many of you were also in a one-room school?
