I remember meeting Senator JFK when he was running for President and visited my hometown of New Haven,
I remember being kept home from school to watch his snowy inauguration Jan 20, 1961 and listening to his inspiring speech.
I remember my father’s joy when JFK cut a 91% top income tax rate.
I remember a SCOTUS decision during his brief Presidency that stopped me from being forced to say Christian prayers in a public elementary school.
I remember his Model Cities Program that knocked down the worst decrepit housing and built new.
I remember Camelot and the hope this new young President and his intelligent wife gave the American people, all extinguished by an assassin’s bullets on Nov. 22, 1963
