I was a 4th grader at the old Corydon Grade School on Mulberry and High Streets in Corydon, Indiana [the school, built in 1914, has since been demolished; the Corydon Church of Christ now stands on that spot]. We were on the playground at recess after lunch, when a friend who'd gone inside the building to use the rest room came out and told us that President Kennedy had been shot. Being 9-year-olds, we all called him a liar. After we went inside, our teacher, Loran Shields, told us that it was true. A short time later, we heard the voice of our principal, Arthur Crowley, on the intercom: "May I have your attention please? The President is dead; I repeat, the President is dead...", his voice trailing off. Shortly afterwards classes were dismissed, and as my school bus drove through downtown Corydon, I saw Civil Defense trucks on a couple of the main street corners. Just over a year before, we'd gone through the Cuban Missile Crisis, so we didn't know if there was a larger plot, or if nukes would soon be headed our way. For a 9-year-old kid, that was some scary stuff.
