I was in (Ms. Wagner’s?) fourth grade class at the almost new—and now former—W.B. Ellis school in Lafayette (Why was it torn down? It was a great school designed to be added onto.)
She turned on the TV in the room (it was odd to have a TV in a room or to use it). I remember she handled it well.
Even though our parents were at work, we went home early. I usually walked home with my classmate and next door neighbor, Debbie George, walking down Quandt Road to our homes on Stanley Blvd. I remember her crying all the way home and I was trying to console her the best I could and was failing.
My mom was a second grade teacher at Gregory Gardens in Pleasant Hill and my dad worked for Pacific Finance in Oakland. They came home early too.
Reportedly from November 22nd, 1963 in an unknown Sears Department Store.
