The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for February 28, 2025

All caught up!
We did this when I was in first grade. Only we didn’t go “under the desk”. We all went out into the hallway and sat against a wall, putting our heads down between our legs. This was 1963. After Kennedy was assassinated, we never did this again. I did not understand why we were doing this (it was called a “Civil Defense Drill”), but took it in stride just the same way as having a Fire Drill. I’m really glad, in hindsight, that I did NOT understand the magnitude of what we were doing.
