I was just a kid in the 8th grade but I remember it like it was yesterday. The link provided gives a good overview of the crisis from the Kennedy Library.

I was a kid in the 2nd grade. My first grade teacher said, that I was "slow as molasses in January." ;)

I was in elementary too at that partic'lar moment in history. Apparently, I was quite freaked out. My mom said that I chattered about nothing else for days.

Strangely, I remember nothing about those events at the time they occurred.

Us kids saw that on TV. We tried to get our 5th grade teacher to let us practice that, but he wasn't on with the program.

He was a WWII Navy vet and a cool guy. He taught us all about the Constitution, the separation of powers and the Bill of Rights. He taught me how to throw a football. I'll never forget him.
