I was in 5th grade in a New Hampshire school room, and our teacher, Miss Dudley (I remember each detail all too clearly), walked into our room with tears in her eyes and told us that the buses were coming to take us home. Of course, we were very confused... but the school administration had made the decision to allow parents to discuss this tragedy with their children (no instant information in those days). The next days were ones glued to our black and white television with so many tears and so much spiritual pain. My mom comes from Boston, so the pain of Bostonians was particularly acute. My brothers and I were watching tv LIVE when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot. I will never forget those moments. Never. <BR/><BR/>You have inspired me to take a journey to Dallas. I have toured every Kennedy "thing" in New England... Boston, Newport, RI and Martha's Vineyard... <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this remembrance. I am so very happy that your family had such a wonderful and historic day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-55901558534144113442009-01-02T21:39:00.000-08:002009-01-02T21:39:00.000-08:00I've never been there but would like to go.

It would give me chills if I were to visit there, knowing that was the place JFK was shot. All I can think of is Jackie in that pink dress...still a very sobering image and a traumatic time in history. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.<BR/>Lots of hugs, Bebe :)Bebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750723711862287437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-31364431827141802722009-01-02T09:32:00.000-08:002009-01-02T09:32:00.000-08:00I guess I never stopped to think that the area mig...I guess I never stopped to think that the area might be a tourist destination now. The lack of reverence saddens me - but unfortunately doesn't surprise me. Been to a football game lately? The lack of respect during the presentation of colors and the national anthem is apalling. There have been a few times I'd have like to smack a few people on the back of the head. <BR/><BR/>In a Christ-like manner, of course! Ha!<BR/><BR/>Glad you had an enjoyable time with your hubby and kiddos over the holidays. Nothing better! My parents are still here and I'm loving it. I'm already dreading their departure even though they're here for a few more weeks yet!<BR/><BR/>Blessings!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531911213929482494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-23623560356287917232009-01-02T08:50:00.000-08:002009-01-02T08:50:00.000-08:00Very interesting.

People visit the site of the Murrah Building as well. They've done a beautiful memorial in OKC.<BR/><BR/>We were in Arkansas at a dedication of a new dam that my dad had worked on in October of that year - my dad had worked on the dam years before, so we went back. JFK was the special speaker and guest - we stood on a bridge and watched his motorcade pass on the highway beneath the bridge - his hair was flying in the breeze and you could see Jackie's pillbox hat, as they were in a convertible. I made the statement (though my brother says he said it), that anybody could shoot him. I don't know why I thought about that, because it was the beginning of such horrible incidents in our country, but that thought went through my head. A month later it happened. I didn't care for him as a politician and president, but it was a very sad and traumatic time.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938607712512860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-76860366949987802002009-01-02T06:32:00.000-08:002009-01-02T06:32:00.000-08:00What an interesting place!
