Something has always fascinated me about John F.. Kennedy’s assassination. Maybe it’s because it happened in my home state of Texas, making it Dallas’ perennial embarrassment,. Perhaps it’s because it’s one of my earliest memories as a young child. Although I was only four, I remember that day in vivid Technicolor.
But 56 years later, I’m still just as fascinated. There won’t be much about it on TV, certainly nothing prime time. It probably won’t be mentioned on many newscasts, in markets large or small. If any of the countless number of shows and documentaries about the assassination are aired, a few might be broadcast on mid morning TV, possibly on Discovery or The History Chanel, On You Tube, there are also a slew of interviews fairly current and some quite historical ones recorded minutes after the first bullets were fired.
A 56th anniversary isn’t a seminal one by any means, but because it’s always been a point of interest of mine, for the 50th anniversary, I wrote a very detailed and inclusive blog post about little known facts surrounding the assassination….like the current location of Jackie”s bloody pink wool suit she wore on that fateful day. Where’s the hat that Jack Ruby wore when he shot Oswald on live TV, two days after Kennedy was killed.
It’s filled with little factoids like that and more. It’s a long, fairly exhaustive read, but interesting, even if I say so myself.
