I was in the 6th grade. An announcement was given over the intercom system. I don't remember if we left school early or not. I do remember watching the funeral on the television. My grandparents, great-grandmother and aunt and uncle came to our house to watch it because they lived out on the farm and didn't have a tv. It was a solemn day. I remember my new baby brother was still in his bassinet. He was born Sept. 27. Life has certainly changed.
