watched Camelot on TV. At the end, when they did the lines associated later with JFK, both my husband and I were crying together. We did not meet until 10 years after the JFK assassination, and he was 7 years older than me. But we had both been so affected by the event that those lines brought us both to tears at the memory of it.
