Our November 2013 cover story chronicled the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated — from the perspectives of Adamson High School’s Class of 1964. For those students, history unfolded less than two blocks away.

Readers shared their “Where were you?” stories via our Oak Cliff Advocate Facebook page.

“Chemistry class at Sunset HS in the ‘new’ science bldg. The speakers were not yet connected, so the Ass’t. Principal Mr. Stokes came in and told us.” —Pam Newnam Williams

“Just left my sophomore history class. I also remember the school holiday and watching the funeral.” —Pamela Wright

“I was home sick and in the care of our black maid, Mary Gatlin. I was truly too young to understand, but I remember Mary crying inconsolably.” —Linda Thurston

“Daddy took my sister, brother and I out of school. We went to the airport, to welcome the President and Mrs. Kennedy to Dallas. We watched them come off the plane and get into the limousine. On the way back to school we heard sirens, but without a radio in the car didn’t know what was going on. By the time we got back to the office at Clara Oliver Elementary, the President was dead.” —Vivian Yates Skinner
