1963: John F. Kennedy Killed in Dallas
My Vintage Nashville Newspaper's from Nashville Newspapers,
beginning in the 1960's to Present Time. This is the oldest in
my collection of Nashville Tennessee newspapers. The headline
reads "Police Charge Texan as Presidents Killer", with a subtitle
"Accused Slayer Had Soviet Links".
My Memories Along With My Related Pictures:
I was just a small kid when this happened, but remember it. I was sick on
this day and didn't attend school. I remember the TV flashing a bulletin
stating "President John Kennedy has been shot". I was lucky enough to
see John Kennedy not long before this tragic event. He had made a trip to
Nashville on my birthday. My father took me to see the Kennedy's
motorcade in two different locations that day. We saw him pass by in a
convertible, from the side of the road on Murfreesboro Road in Nashville
(after arriving from the airport). The second location was on Franklin Road
in Nashville (headed for the Governors mansion). It was especially sad for
me as a kid, since I had seen him shortly before he got killed. To this day,
this is one of the most tragic days that I can remember.

| My Trip To The Scene of the Kennedy Assassination I took the pictures on October 31, 1990 while Dallas Texas. I visited "The Sixth Floor" in the former Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald pulled the trigger. In the pictures, you can see the window in the building lit up (upper right square window). It was pretty strange walking around the area where this tragic event actually happened. I would recommend visiting "The Sixth Floor" to anyone interested in the assassination. LINK: Live EarthCam from the The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Texas |
