In reply to the discussion: Generation JKF About to Re-Live the 60's in Their 60's: Are You Experienced? [View all]mantis49
(813 posts)19. I was 10.
I remember the funeral, Caroline and JFK Jr. Mom was crying for days.
We lived near an Air Force base, our babysitter was married to a serviceman. I remember he got called to base immediately. Living near the air base, seeing the B52 bombers flying low above our house, the base on red alert, the fighter jets.
It was terrifying, hope to never live through that again.
