I appreciate your post.

I'm guessing you remember every moment of that weekend as well (remarkable for someone only 29 again!).

It was a blur. But my earliest political memories are of the 1960 election - staying up almost all night for the results, listening to my family debate (vociferously) about whether a Catholic should be elected president. Then John Glenn, and the Cuban missile crisis - I sat transfixed before the TV wondering if this was nuclear war, and if all the "duck and cover" drills in elementary school would finally pay off.

A confession: I bought and am watching "The Kennedys." Actually, it's pretty good stuff, with great performances.

And no museum has ever affected me like the John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum in Boston. Hope you've been there.
