1. Just so horribly sad

What a magnificent person JFK was...

2. I saw him when I was five years old.

He was the father of Medicare and the Civil Rights law. Oh, if only he had lived!

3. My mother shook his hand in Ft Worth that day, the day he was killed. nt

4. My parents had been invited to the breakfast. My father was a businessman and my

My mom was a nurse. They both made the decision to work that day so did not attend the breakfast, something both regretted. When I returned home from high school later that afternoon, the neighborhood was swarming with FBI and police. It turned out that Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother lived a short distance away from our house — literally separated by a track at the Jr. High School across the street. We could see all the commotion but only learned later why they were there. It was a very sad time and only got more dramatic as Oswald was gunned down on live tv a few days later. The real grief and trauma settled over the entire country and remained that way for several months.

5. I was in jr high in england at the time so no connection with his death really except

my dad was USAF and they were all called in to be on alert right away.
