  When JFK ran for President in 1960, he stopped at the shift change where my Grandpap worked.  He stood there in the rain and shook every hand.  I saw him in person during the 1962 mid-terms.  He waved at me when he was leaving in his car.  I was the only one who was standing on the corner.  He acted as if you were the only person in the room.

  Do a video about his younger brother, Robert F. Kennedy.

  Now you should do his Soviet counterpart. Nikita Khrushchev.

  "The Mucker's Club" is a brilliant response. My respect for JFK has increased yet again.

  A man dies and goes to heaven. When he arrives God tells him he&apos;s been such a good faithful Christian he will answer one question. <br>The man asks: &quot;Who killed Kennedy?&quot;<br> God says: &quot;Lee Harvey Oswald, with his Carcano rifle, acting alone.&quot; <br>To which the man replies: &quot;This goes higher up than I thought!&quot;

  I was in grade 3. Our teacher stepped out of the room to talk to the principal. When she came back in she was weeping. Imagine. A teacher openly crying. She said the president of the U.S had been shot. <br>I remember feeling an intense sadness. And fear. What did this mean? <br>Adults didn&apos;t talk to us then. They didn&apos;t explain there was nothing to fear. They didn&apos;t ask how we felt. We were just left to sort it out. <br>After the announcement, we were sent home. I watched Walter Kronkite announce that JFK was dead. I honestly had no idea why I felt like crying too. My parents were so quiet. Reserved. <br>I grew up in a small town of three thousand in Ontario, Canada. Imagine, what it must have been like in the states. It was truly like a black sheet had been draped over that time in place. <br>Then ~ Oswald was shot. I cannot possibly explain the horror of that time. It was like reality took time off. It was a very dark time. And scary to an 8 year old.<br>Jenn 💖 in Canada 🍁

  It&apos;s not just Americans who remember where they were when JFK was killed. The same is true of us Irish people, Certainly, my mother&apos;s entire family do. Indeed, there are three abiding memories that almost every Irish kid from a boomer parent remembers from the houses we grew up in - (1) an image of the sacred heart (2) an image of Padre Pio (3) a portrait of JFK

  I live near Washington DC and know an 88 year-old electrician that spent a ton of time in the Oval Office with JFK and Jackie. He said they were both completely normal people and he liked them both a lot. He said he used to call President Kennedy &quot;Jack&quot; instead of Mr. President.<br><br>He also said that everyone heard the rumors about JFK&apos;s affairs but he never saw any evidence.

  John and Robert Kennedy were hugely important in my life. &nbsp;I was a big Kennedy supporter during his presidency. &nbsp;On Nov. 22, 1963, I was a 21 year old college student. &nbsp;I remember that day &nbsp;and that week vividly. &nbsp;Beyond terrible. &nbsp;I sobbed so much that week that I got bronchitis which somewhat weakened my lungs for the rest of my life. &nbsp;Then, in 1968, when I was working for Bobby Kennedy&apos;s California campaign, I ended up in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel on election night. I can never communicate that nights events with blood everywhere, 6 people shot and the man many of us looked up to as the best and the brightest was assassinated.

  I was in first grade when he died. &nbsp;Our teacher had to leave the room she was so heartbroken. We of course at that age didn&apos;t understand. A day I&apos;ll never forget.
