I was in first grade, and becazsue of school overcrowding we had 1/2 day school in kindergarten and 1st grade, I was inthe morning session so I was outdoors playing when the news came down. I do not remember specificaly being told that JFK was shot but I remember watching the funeral.
I was aware of JFK despite my youth because I am the same age as Caroline and my younger brother was born the same year as John Jr , we used to be constantly compared to them by our parents
(Do you think Caroline Kennedy uses table manners likr that when she eats in the White House?!)
And my very Catholic across the street neighbors (they had a baby every year like clockwork, they had 13 kids and the mom was pregnant when we moved away) all the kids went to Catholic school... were very proud of the first Catholic president, they had a big picture of JFK hanging on their living room wall right next to the pictures of Jesus and Mary.... and my friends Mary Ann and her sister Barbara Jean
would brag constantly about the Catholoc comnnection while I would retort with the age relationship! (4, 5, & 6 year old girls!!)
my that was a random wander down memory lane... anyway.............
I have no real theory, although I find it hard to believe it was just one guy.... I did propose a theory in jest one time - that Jackie Kennedy arranged to have the Mafia knock him off because of his philandering ways.....
and now to work
