The internet isn't ablaze with reminding us that 62 years ago our President was murdered in Dallas, Texas. On November 22, 1963 President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he was traveling in a motorcade in the back seat of an open-top limousine with his wife by his side. To this day the explanation of why he was murdered and who did the killing is a mystery to many.
Was this an illuminati hit, did Israel want him gone, was Vice President Johnson eager to take over the presidency? Did the time of day and location have any significant meaning to occultists? Speculation is always there.
On that day, I was a third grader walking to school after lunch wearing my new cat eye glasses wondering if anyone would notice I had new glasses on once I got to school. The third graders of McKinley Grade School had a classroom in an Annex building behind the large brown brick two story building that I would be lucky enough to be in for the 5th and 6th grades once it was my time. The Annex was more like a trailer house planted on the grounds of the school.
With two entrance doors on it, it seemed to have large rooms to hold approximately 30 children per room. It was warm the day that President Kennedy was shot so the doors were open if I remember correctly. As we sat at our individual desk working on our papers, the loud speaker came on with the sound of organ music playing.
My first thoughts were why would the loud speaker come on playing organ music? In those days there was a television program on during the lunch hour from Wichita, Kansas where the Elmer Childress Family sang religious songs and my thoughts were about this program that my Mom watched often. Then a man announced in a very somber voice that the President of the United States was pronounced dead at such 'n such time.
We sat in our chairs motionless and very quiet. I can't remember what my teacher said after the announcement or if we were let out of school to go home. I can't remember.
I know I was HOME watching the television when the suspect Harvey Oswald was shot in the stomach while being escorted to a different destination.
Tis a blur of the activities that took place in Washington D.C. with the President's stately funeral.
It seemed that the entire country went into shock and disbelief that this had happened to our young President that was only 46 years old. Our awareness to current events increased. Conspiracy Theories continued.
To this day, I still have interest in this time era and what happened on November 22, 2025. Politics.
Through the years I have watched many documentaries and movies about the Kennedys. Kept my eyes on Mrs. Kennedy known for fashion and high class culture who would later marry again.
Here I sit an old woman remembering that specific day. Each year I recall this AUTUMN moment in time.
