And a good sentiment that is, Ken.

I was 15, a high school junior and a group of us were walking to town to grab a burger for lunch on a warm Fall day. As we got to the little cafe the radio was on, and we heard the news. The walk back to school was eerily quiet, and when we got back the assembly bell rang, summoning us all to the gymnasium. My Dad was the Superintendent, and I still remember him walking out to center court, and in his deep voice telling us that the President had been killed, that there was not much known about it other than that, and dismissing us back to our afternoon classes. I don't recall that there was much done in the next couple of hours, other than the halls being very, very quiet between classes.
