A lot happened during our first couple years back in Washington D.C. This was the scene of President John F. Kennedy's funeral at Memorial Bridge. It was just a few miles up Army-Navy drive from where we lived in Fairlington Apartments. This 2nd picture shows the Military Cortage with Kennedy's casket coming off Memorial Bridge on it's way to Arlington Cemetery. We had watched the entire funeral but jumped into the Station wagon and caught these scenes, we were back home to see the burial on TV. Jon grew-up realizing that he needed to wear a tie for all important occasion.
Our kids were all good students and each of them had A's on their report card, Carolyn was a bit shocked when I used a magic marker to draw the toes and red toenails on her new white tennis shoes. Looking back on it, I can hardly believe how well we were able to cope with all the changes. It wasn't only my job that kept me busy but was already enrolled in George Washington University and taking night classes. Elaine was working at the Pentagon in the Civil Defense Area. The boys were active in Boy Scouts and all of us were deeply involved with the Fairlington Presbyterian Church.
