I was -13 years old 

[Cor]

12 years old, in final year primary school in Cape Town.

We just got home with our parents when the neighbour in our apartment came up and told us the news, so even those days news sometimes spread very quickly.   My memory is that it was around 19h00 South African time.

   The Principal rolled a small tv into our high school study hall....

[Aiala]

Ninth grade, Miami Beach... for some reason I was in the school office and heard the first reports over a radio. Just a day or so earlier we had seen Air Force One fly right over the school. After a brief stunned assembly we were all sent home.

A man with his flaws like us all. He had a way to move people that is very rare. What might have been we can only guess.

[Jim Fujitani]

Another Fifth Grader, in my reading class with Miss Greble before noon.  An intercom announcement came from the Principal, Mr. Elkus.  Although I was considered a smart kid, I wasn't familiar with the term, "assassinated", but I put it all together real fast.
