Nov 2021

in school.

Our teacher (who I really didn't like) was called out of the room. When she returned - my goodness, her face was
ashen. She told us what had happened.
Then in x time the announcement came over the intercom that he had died. We were sent home.

I wouldn't understand what we lost till a few more years, I just knew you didn't do that!

If you lived in a more centrist to liberal city like NYC
the pall was intense.
