I was 6 (the same age as Caroline) and heard the news on the bus ride home from school.

My mom had met JFK when he campaigned for Congress. My family is Boston Irish and they were big fans of him.

I knew it was a big deal because the TV stayed on and we all watched as the vents unfolded. The console TV was dragged into the kitchen during what was usually a family-only Sunday dinner.

I'll never forget that weekend...in my mind it's all black and white images.
