He's been gone 59 years today

That November day, getting off the bus as a 9th grader into my mother’s arms is seared into my memory. The saddest week I had ever experienced followed.

My dad took this photo when we saw the President and First Lady leaving church in Hyannis MA, on Cape Cod. President Kennedy drove the limo away from the church that day. I remember it like a movie, we were so excited.

For the Record,
This day came in cool, but was warmer than the past few days as the day went on.

All hands begging for PEACE.

Amazing bit of history. I was a wee 6-month old.

back in the old country, i remember a sunny cloudless day but there was a sadness in the air that was almost palpable. i remember my mother and the other women in our compound of 4 houses huddled and crying shamelessly. we children were not to make a noise and needed to behave, no playing, no singing, it was as if someone in the family died. thank you for sharing your photo.
