Do you remember where you were when you heard about President Kennedy
being assassinated?

All I can remember is being in front of the TV during the funeral and
the constant sounding of the drums during the procession. I was only a
few years old then.

Miss BabyJane Hudson

Yes. I was raking leaves when our neighbor ran over with the news. I
dropped the rake and it stayed there for the next couple of weeks,
untouched. The other sad memory for me was my husband saying that Oswald
would never make it to the courthouse. Within seconds, our nine-year-old
came running to us, shouting "Oswald's been shot, Oswald's been shot". I
will never, ever forget the look of horror on that child's face.

I have very vivid memories of certain things even back to when I was a year
old. I was older than than when Kennedy was shot. I recall being in
Woodbridge, Virginia, just outside of Quantico where my father was
stationed. I woke up from a nap because the phone rang. I toddled out and
found my mother, weeping. And she looked at me and said, "Someone shot the
President." I didn't know what that meant but I knew it had to be something
terrible to make my mother cry.

The next thing I recall is seeing the the funeral cortege and Jackie Kennedy
in her veil, with her children, and the eternal flame in Arlington National
cemetary. Even if we hadn't lived right outside of there, I'm sure it would
have made an impression. I was three years old.

I wasn't even the twinkle in my mothers eyes at that time... but I was a
few years later... Born in 1966

I was working in an office in New York City. When the news came through -
the German immigrant bookkeeper yelled at me about 'How great is your
country now'. I told her it was so bad she could go back to Germany.

cokes and fantas.

I was watching As The World Turns when they broke in with the news. Dallas
was the closest large city to us.

I was about to walk into a calculus class in school. I ended up in my car
listening to the radio reports.

It was impossible to fathom.

I remember being concerned even afraid as I really didn't know what it meant
to us that the President was assassinated. I was 6 years old and sat with my
Mom watching the funeral on T.V.

Like Dora's daughter, I remember seeing Oswald get shot on live TV. I
was only 6. We were out on the playground when JFK was assassinated.
Another teacher pulled Mrs. Sullivan aside to tell her the news. The
other thing I remember vividly about that weekend was the pre-emption of
the Saturday cartoons.

I was barely 6 months old when Kennedy was shot.
No memories whatsoever.

I do, however, remember when Bobby Kennedy was shot.
I cried.
But I cried because I was 5 years old and Captain Kangaroo was pre-empted
for news coverage.

I guess I missed all the pivotal events of the 60's.

I was 4 years old, and I don't remember JFK at all. But I *think* I
remember Hurricane Carla (a cat. 5 that hit Houston in 1961) and I was only
almost 2 then. So I couldn't possibly remember it...

Captain Kangaroo was cool.

Best regards,
Bob

I was in senior year of high school. It was break time, and I was smoking a
cigarette at a small mom-and-pop grocery near the school, when we heard the
news on the radio. When I got back at school so many students and teachers
were crying and hugging each other. It was unbelievable.
I had put up Kennedy signs and talked to so many people during the 1960
election, and was so happy when he won. My father took the signs out of our
yard every night and I'd get new ones up the following day. We had watched
the debates on TV and discussed every aspect of the party platforms. He
voted for Nixon, and my Mom voted for JFK; he made her walk the half-mile
home from the school where they voted. After Bobby was killed during the
1968 primaries, I lost my passion and belief in our political system. I
still vote, but don't really care who wins.

Sure you could, Bob. I remember one event from when I was a year old. We
were at my great-uncle's farm in Virginia; he raised TN Walker's. They put
me up on a horse and soon thereafter I fell off. My mother didn't believe I
remembered that until I described the exact position in which they were
standing and described the (bourbon) rocks glasses they were all holding in
their hands. Not something you'd tell to a child. She said, "OMG, you DO
remember that!" G

So I can certainly believe you'd remember something as serious as Hurricane
Carla.

I have a couple of definate memories from my very early childhood; like a
car accident when I was less than 2 years old. I busted my head open on
the windshield of the car and had to get stitches. I remember more details
about it than my parents ever talked about.

But I'm not sure if I actually remember Carla, or if it is an implanted
memory; picked up from the affect it had on everyone around me. I kind of
think it is a false memory just because it has no details whatsoever.

I don't remember Kennedy at all. Perhaps because we had *just* moved out
into the country and probably didn't have a TV yet.

Best regards,
Bob
