Guys, I was a 1st grader at Bertram Elementary, Bertram I.S.D.....since consolidated into the Burnet I.S.D. Here in South Central Texas.
The Plan for the day was Early release. So Folks could go to Austin to see the President in the big Parade, Come up Congress Avenue and the procession would stop at the front door of our State Capital for speeches and the like. from him and our Governor John Connolly.
Note being a Teachers Kid, Mom taught 6th, my Aunt taught 1st (my grade) was was always on the inside of *Rules, Regs, Dos and Don'ts.
We were just getting back to our school room from Lunch. *Cars were never pulled up by the front door. But he 5th grade Teacher had her big car pulled up by the front door a bunch of the trachers were listening to the radio. and what the announcer had to say.
The announcement was made that the President had been killed in a tragic set of events,The President was dead, the Parade was cancelled, and early release was all that was going to happen!
Upper Classmen were Crying, Sobbing, Distraught.
Classes was let out till the buses ran. Mom and my Aunt were Crying so. We weren't going to Austin to see the President!
As a First grader, I am still not sure if I was more upset about the president being shot and killed or that we weren't going to Austin where I would get to see my Grandmother and other Cousins! and that Parade thing!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
