| 1360492 | 2013-11-22 19:07:00 | I had just walked down to an Edinburgh bus-stop (in Gorgie), where we lived. There was only one person, a woman, at the stop who told me what had happened. Was thoroughly stunned and sad :( :( JFK had always seemed the epitome of what a US president should be and a great motivator. Of course, we have learned a lot more about him since, but he was still a unique and terrific inspiration, in a much more naive time. Who could forget his Berlin speech. Also remember sitting on the upper deck of an Edinburgh bus in October 1962 at the time of the Cuban missile crisis. I was 18 yrs old and wondered if I would reach 19 yrs of age, things were never more dicey, before or since ! Now here I am at 69 yrs of age, so grateful to be here :D Jim |

Or a case of he died so no-one got to find out how he would have done therefore assume miracles? You had to be around at the time to understand. (not in nappies) :) The cold war, on reflection, was far more scary than anything today. He was the man of the time. His death stunned the free world. Ken |
