I was in class (course 560G) at Fleet ASW School, San Diego. The instructor made the announcement, and he immediately called a break. At the southern end of the hallway, there was a southern view overlooking San Diego Harbor. We were still trying to come to grips with what happened, and watched a steady stream of ships leaving port. All Navy vessels that could get underway left the harbor and scattered, awaiting further instructions.

The following Sunday I was duty driver and watched Jack Ruby shoot Oswald on a flickering B&W TV.

I was an OWO at NAVFAC San Salvador. I really feel old after reading many of these posts.

My tour ended in 1957, and I was a civilian working as an Engineering Tech manufacturing semiconductors. I was standing on the shop floor just outside the Eng. office when over the PA system came the news of Kennedy being shot. I was stunned!!! suddenly the shop floor was silent....I mean SILENT like never before, followed by weeping from hundreds of people...
I will never forget that moment

I was in second grade, attending a one room school house in Eaton Rapids, MI.

I was in GYM class in the 10th grade.

I was at t.he library of Humboldt State College at Arcata CA and all of a sudden there was no silence

50 years...that seems to have gone by way to fast. I was in a 6th grade gym class at Balboa Elementary in the Panama Canal Zone. The day was dark with heavy rains. The class was cut short without explanation and we were sent back to our class room where our teacher, Mrs. Benson (probably the only teacher that I absolutely remember from all of the schools I attended) was crying and announced that the President had been shot and had died. Stunned silence was the norm that day and the rains made us all feel that the world was crying over the loss of a great man.

I was at the same school that day. Ms Turbyville's 6th grade.

6th grade English class.

I was sitting in a tenth grade study hall in Kutztown Area High School, Kutztown, PA when the school office fed the radio reports throughout the school via its intercom speakers. Many of the teachers and girls started crying. I merely sat there in a stunned silence. All classes were suspended for the day following the announcement that President Kennedy was dead.

I was at my aunts house in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It was as if a movie was appearing and not real. I watched the events, as a 15yr old, with sadness and astonishment. I saw Oswald get shot on live tv.

I was in 10th grade at Louisville Male High School, Louisville, KY. Music Theory class.

i was in that school on that day Ms Turbyville's 6th grade class
