The JFK assassination is one of my first memories. I was born in 1958 and remember being at home with my mother when the news came on our old black and white television. I remember my mother sitting down and crying after Walter Cronkite tearfully announced that the president was dead. I share JFKs May 29 birthday and have always felt a connection to him.

Although I was only seven ( n second grade), I was overwhelmed by the tragedy of our President’s death. I grew up with a strong sense of duty to rise to challenges to help those less fortunate, to strive for advances of our people and work for global peace. I believe the fresh optimism and unsinkable vision of John F. Kennedy is a big part of my belief in what it means to be an American.
