I was in the 6th grade. The nuns let us go home early and I remember my mother crying while she was watching the news on TV. I also saw Jack Ruby shoot Oswald live on TV. Only two other events I witnessed live on TV since then...landing on the moon and the World Trade Center attack.

Amazing how Bill Clinton's mass murderer Attorney General Janet Reno dissappeared from the public limelight.

I was 8. When I was young, I always wanted to be an astronaut. Because he was the one that said we were going to the moon.
Years later, I often thought back and wondered what if he had lived.. What "Camelot" could have accomplished for this country.. I 've read every book that's EVER BEEN WRITTEN on his assassination. How great iT WAS growing up back then.. Family's ate meals together. Mom ALWAYS fried chicken every Sunday.. I remember going dewberry picking.. Us helping her wash then and making homemade jelly.. No one locked there doors.. We just walked into our neighbors' house.. U stayed and eat at the friends all the time.. If you misbehaved at a friends house? U GOT your butt spanked there.. Then when U got home you got spanked again.. Black and white TV, Window A/C's, Attic fans, Mom dried clothes outside on clothes line... NO Cellphones, Computers. No XBOX.. I had the coolest bicycle on the block. Streams on the handle bars, banana seat, playing cards with clothes pins in the spokes.. |
