We were all called to the cafeteria where the announcement was made. I remember teachers sobbing and hugging each other. That made me sad.

My mother was at the Texas Hotel in Ft Worth and shook his hand that very morning. She was a strong Kennedy supporter. I remember how upset she was that day...and for days after...but I really didn't understand what was happening.
