I was in 7th grade then. I remember being told what happened while at school, total shock and didn't know what was going to happen next!

3rd grade at Shoultes Elementary School in Marysville, Wa. on recess. I vividly remember the school secretary running out of the office building, her arms flapping, screaming, crying, distraught.

Even though I’m Canadian we remember too. I was in grade 6 an announcement came over the PA system telling the students to go to the school auditorium. We watched it on tv in shock like the rest of the world.

I was 11 months old. Too young yet to know just how evil people can be. I do remember re-runs on our black and white tv for years of my youth.

High school, 10th grade, didn't find out until we were waiting for the buses to take us home. Most of the students were crying, when my parents got home from work they were in a state of shock. I certainly agree with Sand that the Democratic party isn't the same any more. Now we seem to have only Demicans and Republicrats, nobody seems to represent or care about the working folks anymore.

I have a lot of fading memories, but that isn't one of them. I was in my 8th grade history class. How well I remember some things!
