John F. Kennedy was assassinated on this day in 1963. Are you old enough to remember the event?
Most people who are old enough, remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Where were you, and what were you doing?
Yes. I was in class in Jr High School. We were told to return to our homeroom for the announcement.
Just for Fun:
What would you rather do?
(a) Play a round of golf on a pleasantly warm day - or
(b) Ride a snowmobile on a freezing cold day
I'll play a round of golf if you add tackling your opponent on maybe every odd hole and racing your cart to some finish line. Otherwise zzzzzzzz.
I like cold weather so I'll pick riding the snowmobile on a freezing day.

Most people who are old enough, remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Where were you, and what were you doing? I remember my Mother being upset and talking to other people on the phone about the assassination. The tv was on all day which was unusual in our house.

Good morning to all! Just killing time before going to the Doctor's office for my annual physical and bloodwork (yay! ). Back to work tomorrow for one day, and then off for the long weekend. BTW, the paint didn't make it on the walls yesterday. DW is not overly happy about that!

Have you ever visited Australia? I have not.

If no, is it on your ‘bucket list’? I won’t get upset if you say it’s not! We fully intended on visiting Australia on a recent anniversary. In fact, I had saved up enough FF miles for two 1st class tickets. But when it came time to book the flights, neither one of us wanted to commit to flying that long. So we postponed the trip.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated on this day in 1963. Are you old enough to remember the event? Too young.
Most people who are old enough, remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Where were you, and what were you doing? Even though I was too young at the time, I have read about and have seen lots of shows about the incident. I don't know if it's still there or not, but they have a really cool museum on the 6th floor of the Book Depository where the shots originated from. I was so glad we had a chance to visit on one of our trips to Dallas.

I have never visited Australia. We have friends who live there, but I guess the journey puts
us off. I would love to see kangaroos and koala bears. I was 10 years old when President
Kennedy was killed. I remember the newspapers, the pictures of his widow and children at
the funeral. The whole world was saddened by the event. Got worse when Oswald was
murdered. I have never read any transcript of what he had to say overnight in custody before he was killed by Jack Ruby. It was a strange, brutal event that even now is not
totally clear what happened. I still find it hard to understand the accuracy and damage done
by so few bullets shot at a moving car.
Have you ever visited Australia? No If yes, what did you like best and what did you like least about it?
If no, is it on your ‘bucket list’? I won’t get upset if you say it’s not! I've not really thought about it......but I'm sure it would be an adventure.

Yes, I would like to visit Australia ... Sidney especially as my favorite singer is one of the worship leaders of a mega church there and would love to attend a service. Have you heard of Hillsong, Kobber?

Most people who are old enough, remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Where were you, and what were you doing? I do not remember for certain...I thnk I was at work in a psych hospital at the time....my memory doesnt seem to work that way....I dont remember where I was on 9/11 either. I do remember the Challenger explosion....I was living in NH and all TV's were on to see our teacher in space. That was a horrendous thing to watch.
