It is said that anyone who was alive when it happened remembers where they were when Kennedy was shot in Dallas. I was at recess. I've said this before, but I think one of the other kids announced that President Lincoln had been shot. He and Washington were probably, at that time, the only two presidents we six-year-olds knew. We would soon add a name to our list: John Fitzgerald Kennedy. We will perhaps never know what Kennedy's legacy, had he survived, would have been.
Fifty years ago, today, the President of the United States was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald or whatever you want to believe. It makes little difference. There are just some events that will mark our lives. This, those of us living then, was one of them.
We remember JFK.
