Amazing. I was 6 years old at the time of this broadcast and here is a man living in my lifetime that saw Lincoln assassinated.
And he was 5 or 6 when he saw it.
Someone should call CPS on his parents for taking a kid that young to the theater. lol
The man that witnessed the assassination would of been only 5 years old in 1865. Amazing that he still remebered.
That is really amazing. So long ago, yet but a short time ago.
He lived close enough he could have actually met Sen. Kennedy.
“Say, you’re a handsome guy. Kinda like old Abe. You should run for President some day!”
President John Tyler, born in 1790, has 2 living grandsons. (as of 2018 anyway).
