My mom had the picture of he and Jackie disembarking at the airport on her home altar with a candle lit in front of it along with all the other saints.Rick Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660636921053646567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2142149168667696779.post-81149101893660587812011-11-13T10:52:16.619-08:002011-11-13T10:52:16.619-08:00Really well-written, because you recaptured someth...Really well-written, because you recaptured something that is truly sensitive. You brought the sense of that day to life for me, someone that wasn't even a thought, with details like the jello. "Trying to whistle" is perfect; sounds like a thought right at the time it actually happened (good autobiography). The violence of the world is horrible, and those events are tatooed upon the American consciousness- the memories of men and women. Your ending is 'for better or for worse' and that is the reality, because Kennedy's death really crushed people- a turning point. Talk to anyone on the streets about it that aint a young punk and you'll see! Actually, don't do that. <br /><br />Jack Kennedy's Catholic standing also renews those cultural tensions. You do give the subject verbal irony and innocence at the end (E.g. what you knew was, "he shot the Catholic president"), which was great. Nice and subtle, Bill.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542984493003338138noreply@blogger.com
