"JFK - My Life

My life and your years on this Earth—flashbacks—everything was in black and white. I remember 1963: John F. Kennedy was killed in Dallas. My teachers cried. Not me. I was in grade three. Superman, Davy Crockett on TV. Walt Disney every Sunday. Now that I’m retired seventy years old, my life has been good. I have six children. Thirteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Everything is in colour now as I sit in my rocking chair. I apologise to those I’ve hurt along the way. I pray for world peace and a bit of sanity. 

God loves me. 

Amen."
