Forgive me, I had a few tonight in memory of JFK. I was born 5 years after he was murdered; but I mourn anyway the loss of what could have been a transformative era in American history...

My dear Aristus, me, I was 10 at the time.

I was at an after school birthday party, the parents got quiet. Then they told us. I remember our Mothers coming to pick us up, they all were crying.

So sad for what could have been.

you are so right, a picture is worth a thousand words. One picture will tell you an entire history.

I thank you for the link. Sweet.

"Don't let it be forgot that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.”

Okay

Jackie shows such dignity in her pain. What a good mother, just look at the hold she has on her children's hands.
