In a Vermont 1-room school, all 8 grades. I was in the 8th grade, in reading class at the front of the room. The teacher's husband walked in with a radio and put it on the teacher's desk. We listened and learned he had died.
In the next few days, I remember talking with my friends about it. We thought that Russia would take us over - no kidding - it was in the middle of the cold war and we always heard Air Force jets scrambling out of Plattsburgh NY AFB and wondered what was happening.
