  6. It wasn’t obvious to me that they are mastodon bones. I have to scroll down to see the entire picture and likely wouldn’t have figured it out if you hadn”t told me.

    Is this the day JFK was shot? I was a new employee at the Army Map Service and was in training.

  7. I just Googled it. At AMS, everyone was just standing around listening to the reports and talking. After a couple of hours of that, they sent us home and we watched TV for about a week.
    We didn’t realize at the time what a disaster it really was.
    The disaster was Lyndon Johnson. He did as much, maybe more, as Obama to harm the nation.
    VietNam War
    War on poverty.
    etc.

  8. I was at school and we were released early. I remember walking down 7th Street toward home and casually remarking to the total stranger kid beside me, “did you hear the president died?”

    A reporter even then . . . .

    I also saw Lee Harvey Oswald shot live on television. What was my mother thinking? There wasn’t anything else on television even in LA with it’s five station, so I watched the coverage all day long while I worked a puzzle, played and so forth. Odd.

  9. Two thoughts on JFK. I’ve done a lot of reading about the Kennedys lately. One thought, (which I think I mentioned a while ago) is that LBJ hated Kennedy but said that he did some research and found that one in four presidents died in office and being his VP was his only chance at the presidency. The other is that there were so many possibilities of people and groups who wanted JFK dead that, while I have no idea which one or ones were involved, I feel pretty sure that Oswald didn’t do the deed of his own volition (see also thought number one).

  10. My photos are from our trip to see our son. This photo is from the Waco Mammoth National Monument site. It opened as a national monument in 2015. A group of mammoths got caught in a flood and so they have a lot of well preserved bones at this site. Wesley kept thinking I might drop my tablet (camera) into the pit. He would have loved this as a young lad who wanted to be a paleontologist.

  11. I was in an elementary school classroom when we received the news about JFK. I thought it was terribly sad for his family, but I did not understand enough about politics and government to dwell on that aspect. My father was not a JFK fan, and we were not big television watchers so I was probably a bit sheltered from the news.

  13. I was sitting in a vehicle at an airport. It was dark and my mom and dad were talking with such a serious tone. I knew something horrible had happened, but wasn’t sure what. We had just gotten off the plane from Germany where we had been living for the last 3 yrs. (Air Force) I remember the last part of the flight vividly. At one point it looked like we were in the middle of a sky on fire. Everywhere you looked the color was brilliant. I kept standing at the window and the stewardess kept telling me to sit. My dad talked to the stewardess and let me stand for a few minutes to see, then he strapped me in. We were flying in the middle of a sunset. I’ve never seen anything like it since. I was 4.

  14. The Kennedys and Johnsons definitely didn’t like each other.
    I doubt that Johnson had anything to do with Kennedy’s assentation..
    However, the killing of Oswald rightly leads to conjecture. I doubt that we will ever know.
    And that was the point of it all.
    Kennedy’s assentation was a turning point in American life. None of you remember how it was before. But, essentially, politics was civil disagreement on procedure and policy.
    Politics was civil under Eisenhower and Kennedy..
    And the civil rights movement was progressing at a slower, but more peaceful pace.
    Johnson and Nixon made it all a blood game.

  20. One theory I’ve heard on why there are so many conspiracy theories on the assassination is that the killer didn’t fit the narrative. Since it happened in Dallas, it was at first automatically assumed to be a right winger. They were very disappointed when it turned out to be a communist, someone farther to the left. Jackie was supposed to have said, “He didn’t even have the satisfaction of being killed for civil rights… it had to be some silly little Communist. “

  21. Linda, I too have a fascination with reading biographies of the Kennedy Clan. I was thrilled, almost two years ago to go to the Johnson Presidential Library. Jackie called Johnson Colonel Corn Pone. She was very snide and derogatory about the Johnsons. He, on the other hand was either very slick or very taken with her. Listening to the phone conversations when they spoke after the assassination was like listening to a teenage boy talk to the girl of his dreams. It was a little uncomfortable, but she played him well.

    As for where I was? I don’t believe I was even a gleam in anyone’s eye at that point. My mother was married to her first husband and my father had just returned home from the Navy. They didn’t know each other.

  24. Mumsee, I think the mammoth site got funding from three sources, the city of Waco, Taylor University, and the Federal government. If your area has three groups that could raise enough money to make something like the site happen then you might see it in the future. This did not happen overnight. It was a long time before all three groups were together. You still might see something like this happen long range in your vicinity. It depends on priorities and like everything else, location. Waco is growing by leaps and bounds so it has the advantage of drawing tourists for a variety of reasons.

  29. Janice, one doesn’t have to be all that “young” not to remember something that happened 53 years ago. My husband is eligible for a senior discount at a lot of places (the theater, Wendy’s, McDonald’s), and he was alive when Kennedy was shot but very little. He said he remembers only bits of the funeral.

    The Vietnam War and Watergate were both within my lifetime, but we didn’t have a TV and my earliest “political” memory was the Ford/Carter election when I was nine. I do remember Reagan being shot (I was 13), but for reasons I don’t know, it wasn’t actually mentioned in the classroom. I heard my classmates talking about presidents being shot at–one asked a teacher if most presidents got shot at sometime during their time in office–but nobody said, “President Reagan has been shot and injured.” (I assume some of my classmates heard it from other people, thus the questions.) It wasn’t until I joined up with my brother and sister to go home after school that I heard Reagan had been shot that day. By the conversation in the classroom, I’d figured that gunshots were in the general vicinity of Reagan, but not that he had actually been shot.

  31. After a successful 7 AM visit to the grocery store, I’m set for food. However, it you were circling the Safeway parking lot at 8 am, you would have seen me scrambling about on my hands and knees–the cucumbers escaped from their bag and tried a get away.

    While I was attempting to corral the vegetables, the cart took off. A woman ran after it, nearly losing her 7 Up bottle! I’m just thankful the enormous truck didn’t run me over and I was still laughing when I returned my basket to the store and found yet another cucumber trying to evade capture in the crosswalk!

    Happy Thanksgiving preparation to everyone! I’m just bringing the relish tray–I hope! 🙂

  32. 7th grade math class — the next period was home room where our female teacher was extremely distraught.

    My mom was in Iowa settling my grandfather’s estate, she and her sister rode the train home and arrived at Union Station where my dad and I met them on the day that Oswald was killed. She said all the African American porters were almost in tears on the 2-3 day train trip home — my mom and her sister, meanwhile, were also mourning the loss of their beloved dad who had just died a couple weeks earlier.

    School was out on the day of the funeral, I remember watching it in between playing basketball in the back yard (my mom kept saying it was historic so she wanted me to see at least some of it).

    All very sad and dark and scary.

  42. Kennedy; it was Period 4 PE when the announcement came over the loudspeaker. I thought, “Everyone will forget how they were not happy with Kennedy and he will be a martyr!”

    He/They were not my favorites. Later when we learned about the real John Kennedy, and his brothers, I liked him/them even less, and with reason. When I think about how “loved” all the Kennedys were I now realize that I shouldn’t be so surprised that Democrats “love” Hillary. And I have lost any respect for Democrats, not that I had much to begin with.

  46. I remember all the special edition magazines that came out (Look, Life, etc.) with Kennedy on the cover and the photos …

    I was in college when the Zapruder film was released (it would instantly appear on social media if it happened nowadays, of course), causing a big uptick in interest about the assassination and whether there was more to the story than we were able to know at that time.

    My parents weren’t fans of Kennedy, either, but the event shocked and saddened everyone.

    It was a few months later (February 1964?) that the Beatles made their first trip to the U.S., providing what seemed like a much-needed break from all the grim news.

I described the kitchen to him. The lady was his Aunt Louise and she died when I was 18 months old.

  67. Michelle, regarding your question about the note in your study Bible on Joshua 2, I came across a similar teaching recently about the lawfulness of deceiving the wicked, in more than one place.One of the places I came across the teaching, the writer seemed to say that Abraham’s lie about Sarah was justified because Pharaoh was ungodly, and Abraham didn’t know that Abimelech feared God. The other place I came across it was talking about underlying Scripture themes, and claimed there was a theme of Godly women turning the tables and deceiving the seed of the serpent. I am very uncomfortable with such interpretations. Rahab is a heroine of scripture, but her lie itself is never the thing which is commended. Her lying seemed to me to be more an example of how no Bible hero was perfect, that they all needed a Saviour. To say that Christians are justified in lying to the wicked would seem to run along the lines of a certain other religion, which, it is frequently claimed, has no problem deceiving the infidel. If we find deception wrong in unbelievers, than I do not see how we can justify it in ourselves. To do so would be hypocrisy.

    “The phone was there on the desk and the lightbulb was in the socket. It’s just kind of eerie,” said the seaman first class, who was on board the ship on Dec. 7, 1944. “I never thought you could see something like that 75 years later.” …

My parents were along for the ride– I told my father he could come with us but he HAD to stop the car now and then to let the children out to run around.

  72. Roscuro, I would like to be able to retain historical facts, dates as related to events like others around me do. My husband, my brother, and my son are all so good at that, but I, for whatever reason, have a deficit in that area. I do seem to have some common sense type skills that they may not have in abundance. I am so impressed with your level or layers of knowledge. Sometimes I feel intimidated by very intelligent people. But then I remember God made us all as He did for His purposes and not because He wants us to think of ourselves more highly in one way or another than we think of others. It is just amazing when you consider the variety of people and skills and talents He put on this earth. And He would use it all for good if only people would get in tune enough with Him to let Him use them fully. I know He can use anyone however He chooses, but if one is not willing then He may choose to use another. I am glad to know you are training to be thoroughly used by Him.

  73. I do remember the midwives who used trickery to save those babies. They lied to the wicked. Lying is normally not good and is against God’s ways, but He is Creator of life, and if the lying is done to save a life against known evil, then perhaps God will not frown on it. But He must prefer for people to fully trust in His deliverance rather than lying, one of their own devices. I feel sure He would wish to hear a prayer for His help rather than a lie. That would please Him. He is always pleased by extreme acts of faith and trust.

  74. Janice, I’m not really more intelligent than the average person. I’m only average in math, for example. What I do have is an excellent memory, which my father also has, only his memory is constructed around numbers and mine is constructed around words. My memory acts as a network, so that any one subject will trigger a flood of related facts that I remember. I can usually remember where I learned a fact too, which enables me to go and find it. What you said about not having that kind of ability reminds me of my mother, who says the same thing about herself. However, I think my mother is very intelligent, because whatever subject I discuss with her, she understands what I’m talking about. We talk about everything, world events, politics, religion, psychology, science, history, anything that comes up, and whatever facts I have to discuss, she is right there with me. She doesn’t have the kind of memory I have, but she is a wise woman.

  76. Janice, that is true about the midwives. I like that story, because it gives me courage to try to make a difference as a nurse. However, like Rahab was rewarded because she hid the spies, they were rewarded because they did not kill the Hebrew children, not because they lied to Pharaoh. God works with His people’s weaknesses, but I think those (like the person who wrote the quote that Michelle gave) that use such stories to say we should lie to the wicked aren’t thinking clearly. After all, good also came out of Tamar’s deception of Judah, but that hardly means that we should do what she did.
