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.


40 years ago, my mom was almost 10 years old, my dad was 22. I
wasn't around.

Regards,
Ranee

I was in Dallas about 4 miles from where it happened and about 3 Miles from
Parkland Hospital. If I had been at work I would have been about 2 miles
away, but I was working nights and was therefore at home. Never heard so
many sirens in my life.

Incidently, I then and still now, think he was a terrible president.
Unfortunately LBJ was significantly worse. I still have a bunch of very
negative Kennedy clippings from the Dallas Morning News from that day.
Prior of course to the murder.

I was working in the Securities Department of an insurance company in
Massachusetts. There was a ticker tape machine in one of the offices
in the section. We probably heard the news before most of the people
in the building. Then an announcement to everyone and the office
closed. I spent the week end in front of the TV.

In my college dorm room trying to justify cutting
class to take a nap. (This was in suburban Boston
where the name Kennedy was the next thing to God
and having a president from Texas sworn in was
considered apocalyptic.)

I was laying on the top bunk in my room. I was listening to my am
transistor radio. I was 4 and although i didn't understand what was
going on, i knew it was something bad.

My brother and I are among the small minority of Americans who were alive
at the time who don't have any memories. We were both born during the
Kennedy presidency so were tiny (bro was very tiny indeed at six
weeks). This is why I argue vehemently that I am NOT a "Baby Boomer" no
matter what the standard demographic line is about people born in 1961.
IMO "Boomers" (and generations previous) remember that day.

Hark! I heard BabyJane Hudson say:

being assassinated?


Nope, I was still in utero at the time...

being assassinated?


Vividly. I was sitting in a junior high French class taught by a very young
French woman who adored Jackie Kennedy. A boy who was the class troublemaker
and was always late burst into the classroom shouting "someone shot the
President!."

The teacher, assuming that he was just acting up, went ballistic, grabbed him
by the arm and sat him down in his seat, ranting at him in an colorful blend of
French and English. We were horrified that he would say something like that -
it was unthinkable in those innocent days and we knew he was really going to
"get it."

The class settled down and we were conjugating verbs when the principal came on
the PA system and made the announcement. Instructed to go to the auditorium,
we filed out of the room in silent shock - all except for the teacher and the
boy. She was sobbing at her desk and he was consoling her...and those innocent
days were over forever.

I was eating lunch in the teachers' lunchroom at Hinsdale Junior High
School (Illinois) and we, somehow, made it through the rest of the
afternoon before dismissal at the usual time. Of course teachers and
students, alike, were in a state of shock.

Although I don't recall anything, I was actually in two different places
at the same time; part of me in one of my father's testicles, and the
other part in one of my mother's ovaries : ) Two months later, I became
me : )

I was about a year and a half from being born. I've always wondered if it were
some other president that had been assassinated would people had reacted as
much. Although I would never wish such fate on anyone I keep asking myself
what's so great about the Kennedy's?
