DC, I had never read your account...Dear God!


As one of the older members, I was at Chaminade High School in Hollywood, Fla heading for a Friday Pep rally. The Principal came to the mike and said the president had been shot. There was a gasp and dead silence. He told us to go back to our classrooms, and they turned on the school speaker system, and we listened to the news that he had been killed. We all said a prayer and were dismissed from school. The sheer horror of thinking a thing like that could happen in America back then was beyond belief. In my life nothing has come close except for 9/11.
