I was in 1st grade in Denton, 35 miles north of Dallas. Cathy Oswald, Lee Harvey's niece was in my class. She never came back after that day.....

I wonder if it wasn't a mob hit and Lee Harvey Oswald was used as a stool pigeon. He kills President Kennedy, then a member of the mob kills him

Anyone watching @CNN special about #JFK ? Typical Thursday night convos about #Scandal can't compete with American history. Glued to the TV.

I was in 6th grade, in English class. The reporter who said you will never forget where you were is so correct. Can never forget the feeling.
