FUN FOTO FRIDAY:  OUTTAKES FOR THE WEEK 11/18/13

11/22/2013

 
It was one of those moments that stuck with me all these years.  Fifty years today, to be  exact. 

I was in my history class in junior high school when the news arrived via the public address system. The principal announced President Kennedy had been assassinated, shot and  killed while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.  
 
The rest was a blur. I do remember my teacher being visibly shaken, although I can’t recall  her name.  I’ve admitted on more than one occasion that my recall is not the best when it comes to historical facts; those facts include history teachers. 

That moment more than any other opened my eyes to the world at large.   Who knew in fifty years our world would become a global village. 
 
But enough of my ramblings. You’re here for some Fun Fotos on this memorable Friday and I'm here to deliver said photos to our global village.

You were in Junior High & I was an art teacher in 2 school systems. As I walked into the high school, the lights were out in the office as the staff listened to a radio with lots of static. (Funny I remember the static.) The principal, Richard Heller, called the students into the auditorium, announced the sad news, & school was dismissed.

Don't you mean "left" foot forward?

Oh, you are clever. I could use an assistant when it comes to my Fun Foto Fridays. Whenever you're ready!
