    It's so important to record these oral histories - they are so very important, in order to ensure that future generations never forget. Brilliantly done.

    Ask your 77 yr old Grandparents where were you when Kennedy was shot? Record it on your I Phone . Write it in a family history journal!

      77 year olds would of been about 16 or 17 years old back then. In 10-20 years most people from that era will be gone just like the witnesses to the Titanic and Lincoln assassination. It's kind of sad watching the last remnants of a bygone era fade away slowly. Something that will happen to all of our times.

    This is great. A real dentist dr Walker was observer in emergency room during president kennedy treatment. Dr Walker said despite the massive head wound, significant amount of lost brain tissue and matter and the near fatal throat wound. President kennedy had amazing teeth and his flossing and oral hygiene was excellent. Good to know doctor Walker. Sadly Lee Harvey Oswald had horrible oral hygiene and bleeding gums which isnt surprising

    They all knew the wound was fatal,including Jackie but they had to go through the motions to keep him alive and if somehow they were able to, he would have been a vegetable

      True. Although I believe the doctors didn’t see the head wound at first but the throat wound so they had some false hope.
