How much do you remember about Nov. 22,1963?

Question

1. What was the name of the airfield where JFK arrived that day in Dallas?
2. The motorcade was en route to what event ?
3. In what building and what FLOOR was at least one of the assassins? (Thought at the time as being the lone assassin.)
4. What was the name of the man who took the famous home movie of this historic event?
5. What hospital was Pres. Kennedy taken to?

(To be continued in my next question)

Answer 1

Nothing at all, I wasn't born until 1965

But having watched films/documentaries

1 = Love field

3 = Texas School book repository

4 = Zapruder

5 = Parkland (or Parkfield)

Not bad for a Brit with no interest in politics at all

Answer 2

I was actually there - on the corner by the police station. I don't remember much though. I was only 9 months old. It was my sisters 13th birthday. She had a huge crush on JFK and all she wanted for her birthday was to go see him. My family actually witnessed the shooting. My sister will have mental scars forever, I think.

1. Dallas Love Field
2. I don't know.
3. School Book Depository 3rd floor.
4. Don't know.
5. I believe it was Methodist Hospital -- the one where I was born.

These are all semi-educated guesses since I have no memory of the event.

Answer 3

1. Love Field
2. Don't know
3. Book Depository, 6th floor
4. Don't know
5. Park Hill, I think

That happened 21 years before I was born. I have seen the spot that JFK was shot. You can see from the DART train.

Answer 4

i just remember the announcement over the intercom and Nadine Johnson fainting right out of her chair onto the floor, getting sent home and then my mom drinking more than usual and crying while watching TV for many days afterwards and feeling very very sad and lost.

Answer 5

TOO-MUCH-INFORMATION-TO-RECALL!!! I was alive, too. I was just starting a six weeks history test that I was bound to fail and thought I would have a second chance to study for but I did not. Sad, sad day. I remember that the "hoods" (burn outs) were laughing which I thought was dreadful.

Answer 6

I don't have any memories of that day since I was born in the summer of 1978

Answer 7

the teacher of my public school class took us outside and we all knelt down at the flagpole and said a prayer, I watched every minute on T.V. at home

Answer 8

I wasn't born until the spring of '77.

Answer 9

absolutely nothing. I wasn't born until much later into the next decade

Answer 10

Wasn't born but all I can remember is that song "December 63" hehe
