Reply #1: The Death of a President [View All]

[theorist]

I cannot imagine what it must have been like on that day. My parents were only five years old themselves, so their perspective is limited, but from what I have read about Jack Kennedy, I can tell that he was a popular and loved man--more than just a president. I'm not sure if this high place was made for him after his death or not, but he appeared to have a real vision.

I am left to ponder whether we will ever have a president who's death would affect us in a similar way as it affected your generation. I don't feel comfortable speculating on what might have been. I'm not sure about how peaceful the world would be; he did have the Bay of Pigs under his belt, but he also had the missile crisis. He was a complicated man, unlike our current leadership.
