Hello:

The only president I ever loved, died 47 years ago today. I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard... Call me sentimental.

I think many of us have a fair idea what we were doing just like 9/11 and the moon landing even though we are just bystanders

I don't remember it, I was only 3... but I have paid respects both at his grave and where he was killed. I was I don't know, 9 or 10 when we visited Arlington National Cemetery. I won't forget the view of the cemetery, watching the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns, and the eternal flame at his grave.

I remember school letting out and going home to find my grandmother crying for the first time ever that I had seen. It seemed like the world stopped for awhile until we could breath again.

I was in elementary school . I don't remember much about it except that we got to watch TV in class on the day of his funeral.

When I was a kid my parents brought a memorial record with highlights of his best speeches and the events that shaped his Presidency. I still have it .

I too remember. I was a freshman in high school, some kids cheered can you believe that!
