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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
