A Fateful Weekend

“Through the eyes of a child a tragedy strikes the nation”

Based on the award-winning short story "Life's Reflections - A Fateful Weekend," by Ronald Lamont Canfield, this story peers into the weekend of JFK's assassination as seen through the eyes of a seven-year-old boy, Ronnie. Ronnie has minimal understanding of "the President," and tries to process the sadness that consumes his mother, grandparents and the people across the nation he sees grieving on the news. The weekend contrasts the tragic loss of a beloved President and finding some semblance of normalcy and joy, as the family celebrates Ronnie's little brother's sixth birthday.
