I was in the 3rd grade, Rancho Santa Gertrudes Elementary, Downey, California. All of the classes were in the cafeteria for lunch. The Principal, Mr. Gallegos, come over the intercom to announce the President had been shot. After the lunch recess we all went back to class. Soon, Mr. Gallegos announced the President was dead. Iguess we all went home, I don't remember.
