Boomer kids didn’t pay much attention to politics or JFK until the assassination—coverage of the assassination, Ruby shooting Oswald & the Kennedy funeral aired all day on all 3 channels & it was all the adults talked about. You couldn’t avoid it. 1/2

Boomer mothers were obsessed with everything Jackie—my mother cut out Jackie’s recipe for “JFK’s favorite waffles” from a magazine in 1961. Don’t know if it was really Jackie’s recipe, or if “JFK’s favorite”, but, I still have the recipe & I still use it b/c they’re awesome. 2/2
