It was my senior year and they announced it over the loudspeaker system at lunch time. It was one of those events in history that you will never forget where you were at the time. --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective....

I saw a movie on Amazon Prime: Parkland. It is a depiction of what happened at Parkland Hospital when JFK arrived there for treatment. It was an interesting and different take on the JFK story. And the Zapruder film. I dont how how historically accurate the film is. Its worth a look. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

The Main Thing Is Not To Get Excited |
I was in the 1st quarter of my freshman year in college in class. The classroom was about half empty, ten minutes in the prof hadn't showed up so we started to mill out. A girl, office worker, student I have no idea, came in and said that all classes were cancelled, the president had been shot-and left. No tears, no excitement, just news at 10:10. Outside the building was different, lots of tears and lost looks. _______________________ | |||

half-genius, half-wit |
I certainly do, I was doing prep for an exam in evening classes when the tutor walked in with dazed look on his face. 'Somebody has shot President Kennedy' was all he said, and sat down. His wife was American. All I recall thinking about was what happens now? | |||

I was in my 3rd grade class at Edward A White elementary school on Ft. Benning. The intercom came on and told all teachers to report to the office immediately and all students to remain in their classrooms. Several minutes later my father walked into my classroom to get me for a scheduled early leave. On the way out saw teachers headed back to their classrooms crying. My dad told me what had happened. | |||

I was in 7th grade and attending Shop Class at the time. Out instructor wrote a note on the blackboard about JFK being assassinated and dismissed our class for the day. I walked home, about five blocks, and told my father about what had happened in Dallas. He was unaware. “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – Barack Hussein Obama, January 23, 2009 | |||

I also remember Black Jack the riderless horse in the funeral cortège and little John Jr. as it passed him. | |||

I can't tell if I'm tired, or just lazy |
I had just started college and I was out road hunting pheasants and I happened to cross paths with a classmate who he told me the news. I liked JFK. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

I was two and a half. I don't remember a thing about that day, but my mom kept a journal for me. Let's see- 11/22/1963... OK, here we go: "My dog is brown" "I like cookies" "I made potty!" Ha, that's cute. Wait, what's this here, scribbled in the margin? It's hard to read. It says "Umbrella Man knows all." What the Hell??? | |||

Retired, laying back and enjoying life |
Freshman at University of Arkansas, was in the student union and some of my friends told me what was going on. Some students were distraught but most seemed to take it in stride. I remember going to my classes the rest of the day as if nothing happened. Freedom comes from the will of man. In America it is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment | |||

Get Off My Lawn |
I was a little over two years old, so no memory of him. JFK was the face, the standard-bearer for the Democrat Party for decades through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, November 22nd was always a big deal. And now, he is hardly mentioned anymore, he is no longer the prime example of the party, it seems he is basically forgotten in today's political world.

KKINA and Jimbo54, Don’t forget he also screwed a bunch of Cuban Patriots at the Bay of Pigs. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Sadly, his passing lead to having one of our worst Presidents. The Great Society and a tremendous expansion of the welfare system and government in many areas. The unintended consequences have led to many of the problems we face today. The Tonkin Gulf Resolution that lead to a major escalation of the Vietnam conflict. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

No, the CIA screwed the Cuban Patriots. They fed Kennedy a bunch of BS, just like the FBI does now. -c1steve | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^ Nope. That was Eisenhower who started the interstate system. He did bring back class the Presidency. His press conferences were legendary for his intelligence and wit, something that is sorely lacking these days. | |||
