I was in Sixth Grade. Sister did not tell us anything, just acted shaken up, finished day. Walking to train station to go home, I passed Chestnut Hill Hospital, saw the flag at half-mast. Thought, maybe the President was killed. When I got to station, the kids who got rides to the station told me about it. Went home and my mother had it on TV.
I think we watched a different network which did not cover Oswald's shooting live.
