JFK came to campaign in our city-Eau Claire WI and my brother in law's father was a big deal in the EC county Dem. party and so he got to escort JFK to the University arena (which at the time was the a Wisconsin State Teachers College) where he would speak. I lived right across the street. My family were diehard Republicans and so it was not like we were nuts over JFK. However, we did get to see him get out of the car he was in as he was escorted to the arena. (Many years later I would see and shake the hand of Richard Nixon in the same place when he was campaigning--strange to think of that). Of course JFK won,however, my father had nothing good to say about him and especially about old Joe Kennedy whom my father loathed. But when JFK was assasinated, (I was in 7th grade and like everyone remember exactly where I was, what I was doing-eating lunch- and the TV screen)my father wept along with the rest of us watching the sad processionals and end of camelot. How brief it was, but how unforgetable. <br />LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-75198192963615976292011-01-22T08:58:39.680-07:002011-01-22T08:58:39.680-07:00that seems a lifetime ago now....where did the tim...that seems a lifetime ago now....where did the time go...sigh<br />Thanks for stirring the memories<br />DennisChef Dennis Littleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388059515828451861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-40653772131123494532011-01-21T05:05:39.516-07:002011-01-21T05:05:39.516-07:00I remember that day.

He and Mrs. Kennedy brought a lot of excitement and sophistication to the White House. I was a sophomore home from college for the weekend that tragic November. <br /><br />The world is such a different place today.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-26559505347357603382011-01-20T12:05:52.588-07:002011-01-20T12:05:52.588-07:00Susan, I was in the study hall at Amana High Schoo...Susan, I was in the study hall at Amana High School watching the JFK inaugural address. You were there, too, of course. The one line I remembered from the entire speech was "Ask not what your country can do for you...."
