<p>There are many people who believe they remember things that they don't. I'm no saying that you are one of those people; I have no way of making that judgement with any claim to accuracy. However, memories are trivial to manufacture and implant, whether accidentally or on purpose. This has been demonstrated many times. </p>
<p>We were born within only a few weeks of each other, so you might have been subjected to the same teary-eyed reminiscences of the assassination as I was, usually during Profiles of Courage book reports. </p>

I was also in California, five days before my 3rd birthday. I don't remember the assassination, but I do remember the countless stories from my chrono-peers who all thought that they did. It was my first lesson on the inaccuracy of human memory. <u></u><u></u></p>
