That's a great memory, TIS. I was born several months after the Kennedy assassination. Growing up in a predominantly Catholic area, I was used to seeing pictures of Kennedy hanging in every Irish, Italian and Polish home, usually next to a picture of Jesus or a crucifix.
I remember as a young boy, thinking it very strange and peculiar if a house didn't have his picture hanging. It was like not having indoor plumbing. My wife remembers seeing Kennedy drive through Exeter on Rt 11. He was in a convertible, wearing a light, summer suit. The town was going crazy. Nice Irish, Catholic boy...oh yeah and a Democrat to boot.
