In 3rd grade in San Marcos, TX. The teacher was called to the hall, and burst out crying. She sobbed through tears that Kennedy was dead to the class. All the girls burst out in tears as well. My dad was upset of course, but mostly because Johnson was now the President.
As just a kid, I did not really understand what the country had just lost.
Now, as a geezer and having learned some history, Kennedy saved us from WW3 for sure. If he had listened to the generals that wanted to attack Cuba, Russia was ready, and it would have sparked WW3. We missed WW3 by just the narrowest of margins when Kennedy ordered a stand-down of the military.
