Thank you. The anniversary is worthy.
I can remember Mom getting mad at me because I was playing with a loud toy that day during the drum beats
One of the things that always stuck in my memory
All hail president good hair the awful.
I was a sophomore in High School. It was a Catholic school so we said the rosary. Then my brother and I were at home alone watching TV which Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. Weird.
I got out of the hospital that day after a breast biopsy..that was when they had you check in the day before, surgery the next day, home the next. After I got home, a friend called to see if I had my TV on..WHY would I have the TV on in the middle of the day? On Sunday, she did the same - when Oswald was shot...I still have a tape recording of the DRUMS at the funeral. I remember most of that day - the family on the steps of the Cathedral, young John saluting, the horse “Blackjack” with the rider’s boot backward in the stirrup...I read later that Jackie’s dad’s nickname was “Blackjack” and they didn’t want to tell her the name of the horse.. Also Ted was wearing a suit of Robert’s or vice versa....
In the following years, I read every book I could find on the family...Rose running her family like an Army General - I guess with the number of kids she had, she had no choice.
‘Fess up — in those days, I voted Democrat!! Had pictures of JFK on the wall in my living room for years.

Thank you.
Sometime in the 70s or 80s, November 22nd became just another day and not an invitation to remember JFK.
I was 4 1/2. And I remember it clearly. Not the shooting, in live time. But the funeral… yes. And the drums, and watching my mother cry.
Sad thing about time is that most of those drummers are now dead.
This drum cadence by Henry Purcell impressed me years ago...

I was watching the NBC coverage of the day of the assasination. The newsmen at the desk were blaming it on “extreme right-wingers” until the facts proved otherwise.
Nothing in the media has really fundamentally changed in 62 years.
Just another assassination by a democrap.
Socialists, Communists, Marxist, are all violent childish lunatics.
