I was in Mr.Pitti's 6th grade elementary school class at Lakeside School, Merrick, NY. I remember Mr. Pitti coming back into the class and him saying to us "President Kenedy has been assassinated in Dallas". 
Up to that point in my life I had never seen an adult that distraught.
For the next few days we, along with millions and millions of other families, were glued to the tube.
I also remember being on a delicatessen run with my grandfather and so I missed seeing Oswald get waxed on live tv.
Even today the Zapruder film gives me the chills.
