3903
My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Ball, turned on black & white TV in our classroom in January,1961, and adjusted the rabbit ear antennas.
After it warmed up a bit my classmates and I found ourselves watching the John F. Kennedy Presidential Inauguration. As the festivities of that day continued, Robert Frost walked to the microphone. He began to read one of his poems, "The Gift Outright." The old man found himself almost blinded by the sunlight, and not being able to see the page before him, he quoted the remainder of it.
He passed away two years later.
