If my memory serves me right, it was Mrs Connally that said it.


went and found a link http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990DE1D91530F932A05753C1A9659C8B63&n=Top/Reference/Times%20Topics/People/K/Kennedy,%20John%20Fitzgerald


It was an ebullient Mrs. Connally who gushed, ''Mr. President, you certainly can't say that Dallas doesn't love you'' -- perhaps the last words Kennedy ever heard.



Rest In Peace JFK

Let it be said the L.H. Oswald was a Louisiana resident, and not a native Dallasite nor even remotely a Texan.

Nice try though, Mac!

It was a dark day for Dallas just like the rest of the country. I was only 9 but I remember it seemed a very sad time for everyone in area. I lived about 5 miles from the site of the shooting at the time.

Remember that day as if it were yesterday.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.

I was in 1st grade at a Catholic school. Kennedy being a Catholic was a VERY big deal at the time. I remember a nun bursting into the classroom to announce that the president was shot. We waited for an eternity then we all filed into the church to say the rosary.... the big long one the nuns wore.
