I remember the day. I was barely two. I  wondered why everyone was crying. 
I 
didn't understand what I was told  about  it.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
 
Aoril 12, 1944.
 
I was in the Twin Cities of MN that day, and with my parents.  I was  7, and
remember it well.  All the radio stations were playing somber  music
(there was no television).
 
It was a most eerie event for a child to experience.
 
My parents, being the strong Republicans they were, did not have a  lot
of affection for HST, either.  Their nick-name for him during  his
Presidency was "Hairy A--".  They therefore did not find any  consolation
in the change in the Chief Executive.
