when the news of JFK being shot was reported...I was in Algebra class, with Mr. Wendall, last class of day..born and raised in Mass, my Mom loved JFK..I would say it affected all of us..not just Massachusetts...

Jackie Kennedy lit the eternal candle after the funeral.

Thank you for this...in memory of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy...
