Why?A Brit like me? And he was such a flawed man and politician. Just because he was assassinated?
I lived through it. It is probably the event along with the first Moon landing, which most informed my young life.
I have been fascinated by his story and his death for more than 40 years.
Even a young kid growing up in swinging London was impressed by JFK’s glamour, charisma and good looks and the horror of his killing. My first awakening to the evil in the world when the dream, however illusory, was extinguished.
So I remember him on this day every year.
