The man that witnessed the assassination would of been only 5 years old in 1865. Amazing that he still remebered.
I was six when Kennedy was assassinated, and my memories are very clear.
My wife’s grandfather just passed at 204. He was as lucid as he ever could be. Hard to believe he was as old as he was by simply listening to him. The stories he told!!!
Some things you NEVER forget.
I was 4 when JFK was shot. I remember how quiet the apartment complex we lived in was.
***Amazing that he still remembered.***
Some things stick with you all your life. I still remember things when I was 4 years old back in 1950.
I remember my fourth birthday and some random events that took place before then. My memory improves from that point. Some people can remember their third birthday and recite their childhood from there.
