Memorial Exhibit

I have seen documentaries and movies about JFK and of course read books but most of them deal either with his assassination or his love life! I don't really know much of him as a president other than I think he could have done great things for your country if he had not been cut down in his prime! hugs xxx

They were letting us out of school early to go see JFK when he came to Austin - after Dallas - obviously it didn't happen. I've never seen the memorial, but I've been to the LBJ library that includes a picture of LBJ's swearing in when his plane landed.

I bet that was an amazing exhibit to see. I have been past Dealy Plaza many many times and have been to a museum there before. When we went to the museum the lines were so long and we were all give out that we didn't wait to purchase tickets. We did see many things in the "lobby" part though. I was no into politics back then since I was young like you but I do remember the day it was announced over the speakers in school and this was in elementary school and it was amazing how we all were so quiet and stunned even at that age. I also remember being at a friends house when Ruby shot and killed Oswald. But the picture I will never get out of my head is the one of Jackie in her blood stained jacket holding the roses or the picture of her trying to grab the "parts" off of the trunk. I do think that was a very very sad day for us.

hi Grandpa Bob I havent seen any tours along that line but would love to. President Kennedy was to me a great president'and I felt so badly when he was assinated. I cried and I was then 'a grown woman. I was having my hair cut and styled, and the hairdresser kept stopping to watch the assination on the tv then cry and wipe her eyes, then cut some more. needless to say I had one of the oddest hair cuts and styling I have ever seen People asked me what I called my hairdo and I said its the assination hairdo. seems I am always getting something done to me when we have a national catastrophe like 9/11 I was at my podiatrist having my thick toenails cut. the doctor was watching the Tv at the s ame time and managed to nick the top of one of my toes. The sights on the TV were painful enough with out cutting my toe to boot. lol.

Well I would have to say that I wasn't even thought of yet when he was president, but I've read about him in my history classes and on tv. I imagine he was a good president. I've never been on any tours like that either, I haven't done a whole lot, but I plan to someday. Have a good day

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Thanks for the picture of JFK and the limo, i don't blame you for shedding a little tears, i have still got the neswpaper when his younger brother Bobby was assinated. I hope you had a nice time anyway. Tamara

I've never seen a fair like that before. I bet you guys had a blast. It would be cool to see things like that. I can't say how I liked JFK as president because that was before I was born, if I'm not mistaken. I've heard he was a great president from other people though.

I thought he was a wonderful person but I have never had the opportunity to see an exhibit of his life. I would attend if one was near.

No cant say I have seen anything quite so special.I hope you and your wife had a great time.I can barely remember him as a president but I have learned along the way that he was a amazing president and wish he would have lived along enough to show that.You have a great evening.

I guess that I do not really know a lot about JFK to be honest, I mean I know that we must have covered it at school and I know I have watched some documentaries about him but I do not know a lot really. I know that the last thing I watched had some pretty graphic stuff on and pictures of him and that was not nice. I have never been to any tours or anything. I have just lately taken a great interest in history, and have started researching and learning about The Tudors, I am working my way through things so I think that maybe this is something else that I would like to teach myself about eventually.
