It was in the middle of the day I was working in one of the large warehouses at McClellan AFB and it came over the load speaker that he had been shot. We didn't do a y more work that day just sat around listening to the radio. I think we went home early but can't remember. I was 25 at the time and just wanted to get away from the TV it was all we heard for 4 days, the weather was wet drippy fog and cold I went over to where a friend was working in a small garage just to get away. I think the worst part was I was not a Kennedy fan having been in the Navy under him and spending weeks in the South China Sea waiting to invade Laos. We were call Ed out several times to go some place by Kennedy and we were always disappointed when we went whimpering back home. I guess that's why I was not a fan. But he was a great President I guess.
My mothers maiden name was Rose Kennedy same as his and I was always asked if we were related. I had to say no. When grandmother was asked she replied " oh my gosh no why they are nothing but a bunch of Johnny Come Latelies. " my side of the Kennedy's fought in the revolutionary war.
As I said it was 4 miserable days for me. Now I have to relive it all over this week. I hope the younger generation reads our notes and try to understand what we went though 50 years ago.

Son of Rose R Kennedy.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
