DALLAS (AP) — About 500 people crowded Saturday into the plaza where John F. Kennedy was shot 45 years ago, all agreeing it was right to remember a pivotal moment in American history, even if they didn't all believe the official line.

People stood shoulder to shoulder and bowed their heads during a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m. Some hawked JFK memorabilia or pitched conspiracy theories to visitors. Others offered firsthand accounts of their memories of the killing.

Visiting from Pipersville, Penn., 66-year-old Barbara Koenig said coming to the site was something she needed to do.

1. I went to the 40th anniversary in Dealey Plaza

Met some friends who were also there for the rememberance. I'd like to go to the 50th anniversary if at all possible. There was quite a crowd at that one too.

2. When we visited that site, I couldn't believe that any presidential motorcade

ever took that route.

...I had to be there and see where it happened - it's so small.
