I remember JFK's assassination as a child. I couldn't understand why everyone was so upset over something happening on the TV. Most of the time my family just laughed at things on the tube. It was the first time I ever thought about anything national.

In case you missed on the last page:

Please view my video tribute to President Ford.

It is a four minute video of pix of President Ford and dedicated to his wife.

Enjoy...

(And send me feedback of my hobby/tribute, please...

I don't smoke inside when the baby comes over. So that's at least something.

And, I have also vowed to take off the extra pounds starting Jan. 1. New Thread. LOL

Come the New Year I'll be a real joy ;-{

They're drunk. VP Cheney and MIKE Ford, not Steve, weren't at odds over it. VP Cheney escorted her up to a certain point, then MIKE (the eldest...Steve is the youngest son), took her right up to the casket. That was a family moment, it was so personal as she bowed her head over the casket. I think Cheney and Mike just had an awkward moment on the exchange, if you ask me.

Unfortunate, but you're correct. The families don't sign up for the abuse that is heaped on them. BTW, I don't remember them treating Rosalyn Carter as bad.

You know, thinking about it again, I bet children love Lincoln's statue, especially, because of the *lap* - because he's seated and it's like Daddy's lap to crawl up on.

His service at the Capital was early evening. His formal funeral service was in the morning so he could get back for the sunset burial -- which still gives me chills to remember the sun setting just at the appropriate moment.

I thought it was Mike, too - but someone else said Steve, so I just "went with it," lol. Told y'all I get 'em mixed up.

Yeah, it was just a very slight bobble - Steve the actor would've had his cues down better and entered stage left on time, lol.

That's my plan. Better to dance with the one who brought you than trying to look for greener pastures -- as so many are threatening to do.

I think I'd drop my cable and go to Direct TV if they did that here.
