I was in 8th Grade . We were in our final period of the day which was a " Homeroom Study Hall " . It was announced over our Class - room speaker system by our school Principal .
I believe that it was Friday . We watched it all weekend as reported on our very small 19 inch Black and White TV . Happened to be watching live when Ruby shot Oswald .
Wonder what % of Americans were old enough to recall the experience and are still living . Hard to believe but if JFK were still alive he would be about age 96 . Sometimes I wonder if JFK had lived what direction the Vietnam War might have taken .
