[R-390] OT JFK assassination...

[Francesco Ledda]

I grew up in Italy. I was less than 6, when JFK was assassinated. My father
came to pick me up at school and told me of the assassination. When we got
home, my mother, sister and aunt were sitting on the sofa crying about JFK.
It was a very sad day.

On July 20th 1969, my parents woke us up to watch Armstrong take the first
step on the moon. I remember those fuzzy images on our BW TV like if it were
yesterday. Those were exiting and historical days. We need more days like
those!!!!!!!!!!

I was in Spain about to turn 11. We were not tourists there but refugees
from the communist regime in the island 90miles from Key West :>(. That day
at the guesthouse where we were staying in Madrid, I saw the cleaning lady,
a young woman, crying. When I asked what was the problem, I learned that JFK
had been assasinated. I never forgot that. Finally in January 64 we were
given visas to enter the US where we arrived in February 1, 1964 with
totally empty pockets and to start a new life. Untilhe passed away in 2004
my dad always said that this is a great country and I agree 100%.
