Kennedy assassination: In elementary school. Some 8th graders came running down the halls, yelling into classrooms "the president's been shot!". Our teacher got mad, thinking that was a horrible joke-but they had been watching tv (or listening to the radio, forget which) about Kennedy's visit to Dallas when the news hit. We were rushed home. I just remember my parents crying a lot.
9/11: I was working at a middle school-some of the teacher's lounges had the tv's going and within minutes, everything changed. I will never ever forget one teacher, Michelle, running through the halls screaming, "David! My David! No!". I got help for her- her son worked at WTC. But fate had intervened-he missed the train to work. Parents rushed to school to get their kids. Three days later, our area was overcome with the stench of the burning
remains of the WTC.
