JFK - November 22, 1963

“Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby,
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill
With Abraham and Martin and John.”

I believe most were well into their 30's/40's before they stepped out from their shell-shocked youth.
If ever.

JFK, MLK, RFK, Vietnam Draft, ...this was how a particular generation's coming of age was greeted.

The assassination of President Kennedy is as emotionally vivid today, as then.
