I was 14 at the time and in my fourth year at grammar school. It was night time in the UK and I was doing my homework in our dining room. My dad was also in the room, doing some paperwork. We were just quietly working when my sister came into the room and told us President Kennedy had been shot. She must have heard it announced on the radio in the kitchen. I hoped he would survive, but of course not much later we heard that he had died. I think he was the first American president I was aware of, or took much interest in, being a 14 yearold in the UK.
