Nov. 22, 1963 . . . the death of President John Kennedy.

Seems we’ve had a bunch of funerals in Lawrence as of late. This past weekend and Monday two more women.

Most folks alive today probably don’t remember 1963 as they were not born yet. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it and the following ceremonies for the funeral. I guess it was only fitting for a man of his importance.

However, what I remember more vividly are the funerals of many people who did not come close to the circumstance of President Kennedy.

I think I’ll always remember the funeral of a cousin of mine sometime...
