When Bobby Kennedy was shot in 1968, I was at home with our two month old daughter who had been born 3 days after Martin Luther King was shot.
What an April and June of 1968.
I watched the "funeral train" for Bobby, etc., etc. while my husband was doing his summer training* at Fort Knox, Kentucky.......we were still living in Middlesex County New Jersey at the time, in our first bought home.
*He was a drill sargeant in a tank division. Actually, while I was still in the hospital in 1968, having just delivered our first child, we were listening to the radio of all the Army reservists being called up for Viet Nam. The furthest he went was Kentucky or the Kearny, N.J. shipyards to train others.
Each "assassination" just brings back other memories of those years.
