        I was 10 years old, in the 5th grade on the TX Gulf Coast. I cannot forget how scary the world seemed right then.

        Scary times. Read the book 1000 Days to get the real inside story. Kennedy is still under appreciated as President.

        My parents headed north from Jax to visit Mom’s dying dad. Saw tank convoys heading south, turned around and picked us up from grandparents.

        Remember being in gym class, watching the clock, waiting for the deadline time JFK had declared, worried that bombs would start dropping.
