I wasn't born yet either, but I've always been fascinated by everything that happened. I've watched and read everything I can find about his life and death.  |

I remember reading a book on him back in 1999, and it was really fascinating. His short legacy is still important to this country, and sadly Caroline is the only one left. But I know she's got kids, who are almost in their early 20's and late teens.  |

My parents were still at the age where they thought the opposite gender had cooties.  Needless to say I was a long ways from being created! LOL!  |

...I was just a little Hekler then. I do remember the grief-stricken look on my mom's face and it got very quiet and sad feeling as they watched something on the television.  |

In the kitchen of the old apt. I used to live in with my Grandma (she died in 1968) I still miss her so much. In her loving eyes I was beautiful smart and just wonderful. My Daddy (he died in 1981 was fixing an antenae for our new COLOR TV) I miss him so much now he was my rock. I remember hearing that awful news on a small blue and white transistor radio. My Grandma yelled up at my Daddy on the they shot Kennedy, he thought she said they shot my Uncle Fred.  |

I was in the first grade. I remember walking into the house and hearing my mom crying in the living room. I was shocked and upset to see her like that because I don't remember ever seeing her cry before that day. I was upset because she was upset; I was too young to understand what a President is.  |

Many find it hard to believe me, because I was 3 years old. My mother was ironing clothes in the livingroom and was talking to my aunt on the phone about it, as it was being broadcast on TV. When I was in my 20's I asked my mom one day if she recalled that day and she was not only shocked, but added she did remember that day when it happened, but reminded me I was only 3 years old and how I could possibly remember something like that.
That was the same day I also said we had a little white pomeranian dog and I could not recall the name. She told me I was almost 3 and the dog's name was Popcorn.. she nearly fainted that I can recall things so far back into my early childhood days.. always been something I could do rather easily and I thought everyone could do that kind of thing.
So, that is where I was on that date. I can even tell you what I was wearing also, and about a month later after asking my Mother these two things, she had produced two pictures of me, one.. at the TV while that broadcast was on, and two.. a picture of me reaching out for Popcorn as she walked by, and I was wearing the same thing I had mentioned to her.

I was in band class. Remember what I was wearing-pink dress with cream color shoes. Also remember my mother sit in front of the TV all week-end watching ever report that came on. I was watching with my mother when Ruby made his famous shot in the basement of the jail where Oswald was being lead out to a car. Even now, I can close my eyes and see that tv shot in my mind. It is a time that I could never forget.  |
