Nov. 22. Just taking a minute to think about this day. It was the first time I ever say adults openly cry - teachers, my Mom, everybody. I was in kindergarten.

JFK's speeches are great stuff, if you have the time to read them. Maybe we can now reclaim the vision he had for this country. Please don't turn this in to a political fight. JFK wasn't perfect, but he did want America to be the best. He continues to be an inspiration.

Thanks.

My family is from Dallas, my father was on the center median on Commerce Street when JFK was shot.  Our family knew Officer JD Tippit, the officer that Mr. Oswald shot. 

There is a great museum in Downtown Dallas, in the school book depository.  I love to listen to my father tell the story and to watch the documentaries.  

What I remember most of that day was the eery silence that seemed to envelope my entire world.  When the principal announced President Kennedy had been shot, not a single sound from anyone, as we listened to him in complete disbelief.  We were sent home early and it seemed I was home seconds after the announcement.  When I walked into my house, the TV was on and Walter Cronkite was crying, saying President Kennedy was dead.  To this very day, I remember the disbelief, the despair, the sorrow and the silence as if it was today.
