I think it helps concentrate your thoughts if you can associate a person or an event with a place you are visiting. Like you I remember the day. We were in a car travelling to another town so I presume we had a car radio. I can't remember that detail ! You've made some interesting points, such as the low level of security around Robert.

I was working when the news came of Kennedy being shot & I clearly recall staring out the window behind my desk trying to comprehend the reality of such a thing. The office was immediately shut down & we were told to go home. The streets were crowded with people in shock looking confused, angry, crying . . . On the bus ride home, no one spoke. Everyone just stared numbly out the windows. Unfortunately that wasn't the end of terrible things. But thank you for a fine tribute to the Kennedy family. I find it interesting & hopeful that the Kennedys are still in the political limelight, but it also worries me a little . . .

I feel so sad for the many losses that the Kennedy family suffered, each and every one of them. Poor Caroline, left basically all alone, other than her own children. The loss of her brother was just as horrific.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.com
