86. I voted (probably illegally) for JFK.

I'm so old it doesn't matter how. Nothing sinister. I wasn't register to vote in NYC, but I falsely claimed the address, which was an apartment leased by my father in law, right after we got married. He used it when he had late night work and couldn't get home to Pound Ridge. He and his son had the same name as Sr. and Jr.

It was no big deal, but I worried about it at the time.
