Thank you for posting the article regarding the pink suit. I had no idea that it had been donated to the National Archives, for some reason I thought it had been given to Jackie's mother.

Has it really been forty years? The Kennedy assasination is the watershed moment for all us baby boomers such as 9/11 is for the young people of today. I still remember Jackie getting off the plane with that blood on her skirt and nylons. Bobby Kennedy was holding her hand and we wondered how he got on the plane. Tears were rolling down my dad's cheeks, it was the first time I had ever seen him cry.

Jackie Kennedy was the epitome of grace and dignity under pressure and extreme sorrow that weekend. Everyone was glued to their black and white televisions and it was the first time the networks had non-stop, 24-hour coverage. In a lot of ways that weekend, the world seem like it was going in slow motion, almost surreal. I can't believe it's been forty years. Today we live in a very different world.

The theory is that Jackie's mother donated it to the National Archives.

I wasn't around for the Kennedy assassination, but if it was anything close to the level of the emotion and fear on 9/11, I'm especially glad to have missed it.
