I was playing with my friend Jack Williams in his living room right across the shared driveway from Rob Howitt when I saw the news of the Kennedy assassination on the TV--it must have been after school.

I recall the day of JFK's assassination like it happened yesterday. I was in grade 6 at Carpathia elementary school at the time and was
home for lunch. Like many I remember whatever was on tv at the time, no doubt noon cartoons, was interrupted by a CBS news bulletin that shots had been fired at President Kennedy's motorcade and that further updates would follow. We didn't learn that Kennedy had died until we got back to school and the radio in our classroom advised that he had passed away. I was a great admirer of Jack Kennedy's and still am to this day, regardless of the info that is known about him now. My personal library reflects my admiration as I have many books on him and his life. Hardly a day goes by where I don't think of him. Unfortunately we went through the same thing five years later with Bobby Kennedy. Perhaps someday the truth will come out about what happened to JFK, finally.

I vividly recall that day as well, even though I was only in Gr. 3. We were living at CFB Griesbach. I have collected a bit of memorabelia over the years, including genuine teletypes announcing the death of JFK ( and also RFK).

Hi! Bill...I too remember where I was on 22nd November 1963. I was in Grade 5 and living at 9F Berliner Strasse, Hemer, Germany. I distinctly remember hearing the news on the radio, as PMQ's in Germany didn't have television then.

Hi Bill, I'll bet most people remember that day, it is one of my most vivid early memories. I was 8 at the time, living at 20 Sapper Ave. and on one of those very rare occasions happened to be at home from school sick that day. I was more upset because the news interupted the cartoons I was watching on TV, but when I went up stairs to tell Mom about it I knew it was something pretty significant by the reaction from her. Ranks up there with remembering were you were when you heard John Lennon was shot.

Having watched another moving television documentary about the shooting death of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, leads me to wonder if the 60's ShiloBrats remember that day with the same clarity?

I was 14 at the time, living at #2 Sapper Avenue, and in Mr. Doug Crandles's Grande 9 PEHS class.

We were on lunch break from class at the time of JFK's assasination.

At home, listening to the CBC news on the radio during lunch-when Walter Cronkite's announcement of JFK's death was suddenly broadcast. It seemed "surreal"-by today's definition.

I also remember that, after returning to PEHS following the lunch break, Mr. Birch (or Mr. Emond) carried the radio news reports over the PEHS intercom system for the rest of the afternoon-very lttle academic work was accomplised that afternoon!

Hi All,
Had to leave Shilo half way in grade 11 back in 1977 to come to Edmonton. Wondering what happened to everyone in my grade. Remembering doing suicide lines with Mr. Clarkes basketball teams, playing on the volleyball team...running track. Of course some of us were lucky enough to work at the golf course. I remember being sixteen working with the surveyors cutting down trees with a axe so they could lay out the new 9 holes at the course.
Remembering the guys who where is Scouts and Ventures. Can't remember what it was called the "Youth Club" playing endless games of cards and pinball.
Funny how Shilo is such a big memory huh?
