50 years ago I know I was a 10 year old sitting on our sofa in our house in Ochlochy Park, Dunblane, Perthshire, Scotland when we heard the news from America. Even as a 10 year old I knew this was a momentous event.

I was a second mate on a freighter and on deck supervising loading of cargo when the 3rd mate came on deck to tell me that President Kennedy is dead. Nice colour on this pansy Steve.

Steve, I think a lot of people exactly know what they did and where they were at the time that JFK was murdered. I'm one of them, as the news struck me like a bomb.

Thanks for your fine image.

Regards, Cornelius.

I was 4 and as I said before this is probably the first thing I really remember in my life ... Not that it was actually so important to me at that particular period in my life but just coincided in time with the moment of humanity awakening in the infant-to-child. HOWGH.
Lovely pansy of superb colours...

There are many different pansies but when I think 'pansy' this is what I imagine - that beautiful deep rich purple.

50 years - but the shock/horror is still easily recalled.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Beautiful pansy, love her colours. I was in high school in Louisville Kentucky at the time, a very sad day indeed.
