You know how everyone remembers where they were they were when they learned JFK had been assassinated? This is where I was. We had been out at recess and had just come back in. The aptly named Mrs. Hill bustled in, huffing and panting (having just climbed the two flights of stairs up from the principal's office) and said, "Children this is going to come as a shock to you but President Kennedy is dead."
Front row, L to R: Jim Kennedy, Gary Kantner, George Ransom, Ron Lawrence, Tim Jasper. 2nd row: Jayde Coon, Susie Reis, Cindy Mattmiller, Ellen Soltow, Lois Berry, Nina Ogle. 3rd row: Signe Denbow, Suzanne Rutter. 4th row: John Harlan, Glenn Stone, Debbie Roaden, Rhea Dean, Gretchen Keller, Melody Rains. 5th row: Jason Ryan, Steve Smith, Sue Sheridan, John Milar, Stanley Campbell, Mike Butler, Emily Murphree. Back row: that's Florence Hill in the faux pearls and multiple chins. Mike Green was in Nigeria that year.
