Actually it was THE WORKER
Yes I remember a lot of things I shouldn’t and have freaked a few people out over it. Not things that anyone would hve ever said but hve been told I was correct. I’ve been told I’m like an elephant with a near photographic memory.My Dad was very big on news and telling me when to pay attention because I was watching history being made. In none of the repalys of the funeral procession have they ever got that haunting sound of the clopping of the horses as loud as it was live.

What a description. Someone could write a book, collecting such unique and descriptive memories on what they remember when JFK was shot.
I visited Dealey Plaza in August, 1966. If I remember correctly, there was nothing there at the time to commemorate the event, and the building from which Oswald fired the shots was either vacant or still being used as a warehouse.
The first such day of my life was December 6, 1957, when Vanguard I, America's first attempt to launch a satellite, exploded at Cape Canaveral. However, I learned about it from the newspaper, not television. The Sputnik I and II shots also generated a great deal of excitement.
Kennedyphilia among conservatives, especially younger ones, is probably the result of four and a half decades of the media lionizing JFK and promoting the "Camelot" myth. At the time of his presidency, conservatives liked Kennedy as much as they like Obama today.
