I too heard of the JFK assasination as it interrupted my innocence at an early age. At first I was somewhat shocked and in awe but it quickly became reality that nothing or no one is sacred or protected from the evils of determined men. As the years passed, seeing Bobby Kennedy also murdered reinforced the deep sadness which had begun to heal. When John Kennedy Jr, wife and friend were killed in the private plane crash it was as if America had lost a last prince. The vivid endearing image of little Jon Jon saluting his father's casket during the DC funeral parade will never leave my mind. It would be so easy to list name after name... Walter Cronkite, Ronald Reagan, Gregory Peck, Jack Benny, Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball, Ronnie Van Zant & Lynyrd Skynyrd, Scott Bonham, Johnny Cash & June Carter, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty & Tammy Wynnette, John Denver, and so many others... all loved in their own special ways and for their own unique contributions, each a loss of a greater magnitude, felt by all who they have touched.
