I remember that day so well. My husband had been transferred to Turkey and the kids and I had just arrived there 2 months before when we got the word about JFK. Being in a foreign country and hearing that your president was assassinated had quite an impact on all of us, including the Turkish people. Some cried for us, too. My husband's birthday was 3 days later - and so was John-John's, I think he was only 3 years old. How very sad.

It still grasps me in the throat when I see those images.  I think that's when television (and society) started to change, when the censors started releasing their grasp.  It was the first time that an actual murder was broadcast to the world live and our innocence was tainted.  We could no longer wear the rose-coloured glasses that the post war era was coloured with.
