Postcard "Childhood's
End" |

 |
Postcard with the lyric of the
song "Childhood's End".
Words : Rick Ryan.
Music : Melissa Ryan.
"Childhood's End," a new song written by Rick Ryan, pays tribute to
President John F. Kennedy & describes the impact that his death had on a
generation of our nation's youth.
Rick, a self-described "life-long lyricist/songwriter" who lives in the
Los Angeles area, says...
"I'll never forget that Friday afternoon (November 22, 1963) when I was an
11 year old Irish Catholic kid living in Belmont, Massachusetts. In the
ensuing years, I've come to realize the loss of President Kennedy in such
a senseless & brutal manner affected me more than I ever knew."
Rick tells us that writing this song brought out hidden emotions & moved
him to tears. He says that his purpose in writing "Childhood's End" is to
reflect on how the events of November 22, 1963 "changed our country
forever." |
Boston Card "The
Kennedy Connection"
(The Boston Omni
Parker House) |
 |
Boston has many Kennedy
Connections.
The Boston Omni Parker House is a famous Boston Landmark rich in Boston
history since 1855. It was there that a young JFK made his first speech
when he was 6 years old.
In 1923, former Boston Mayor John ("Honey Fitz") Fitzgerald was being
celebrated with a Parker House party. JFK was asked by legendary
politician Clement Norton to say "This is the best grandfather a child
ever had". the crowd loved JFK's words and it went down in history as
"Jack Kennedy's first public speech".
Twenty-three years later, John F.Kennedy announced his 1946 candidacy for
the U.S. Congress. In the early fifties, then-Senator John F.Kennedy held
his bachelor party at the Omni Parker House. His friends presented him
with an oil painting of the July 1953 cover of LIFE magazine, depicting
Jack sailing off Hyannis with fiancee Jacqueline Bouvier.
The Boston Omni Parker House is located at 60 School Street on the Freedom
Trail and within walking distance to Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill and
Boston's Financial District.

Knoll fence at Dealey Plaza-Dallas |
 |
This memorabilia is a fragment
of Grassy Knoll fence, taken close to the Triple Underpass, from Diego
Verdegiglio (author of book "Ecco chi ha ucciso John F.Kennedy") on August
8,1992.
The grassy knoll of Dealey Plaza is a small, sloping hill inside the plaza
that became infamous following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The
knoll was above Kennedy and to his right (west and north) during the
assassination on November 22, 1963.
This north grassy knoll is bounded by the former Texas School Book
Depository building along the Elm Street abutment side street to the
northeast, Elm Street and a sidewalk to the south, a parking lot to the
north and east and a railroad bridge atop the triple underpass convergence
of Commerce, Main and Elm streets to the west. |
