President Kennedy Assassinated 1963 – We were 11 years old

I remember this day like it was yesterday. But it was 50 years ago today.  We were in school, the 6th grade,  a messenger came and handed  the teacher a note that said  President Kennedy has been shot and killed  and she started to cry.  She told us and we all started to cry, looking at each other, crying. Not really understanding what happened. This was probably the first shock of my life.  When we went home, we watched T.V. in silence. I remember my parents crying and lots of confused thoughts.  I loved making scrape books. Here are the photos I took out of the magazines and paper at that time.
