"I do remember Kennedy being shot"
Wow, you've got a great memory. My brothers born in late 1958 and very late 1960 (12/16) never remembered it.
I remember it, I saw Ruby shoot Oswald on live TV, I remember seeing LBJ getting on the plane where he took the oath; I don't remember the funeral so well. I was so ashamed that I was still jealous of Caroline for being a year older than me, I was still jealous even though her father had been killed. I knew it was very wrong to feel that way. The inner life of a 5 year old.
And Captain Kangaroo rules!
I loved him, years later he was still on and I watched a few shows. I think the really great thing about him was that he never talked down to his audience.
I do remember the funeral...At the time I thought it was a parade..and couldn't really understand why all the adults we're crying..Yes LOVED the Capt...and Mr GreenJeans...Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabit...
