170. I wasn't even born yet.
However, that is one historical event that, when I learned about it and about JFK, I mourned for a man whose presence I never got to share. We have visited the 6th Floor Museum a few times, and the last time I was standing there, watching his campaign videos and watching him with his kids, and I had to leave. I sat out in the foyer in front of the elevators looking at the skyline of Dallas with tears running down my face. I cannot go to that place without getting emotional.
And when I found out that he talked down the Russian government and basically saved our asses, but still they killed him, I couldn't wrap my head around it.
