What I remember best about that

weekend came at the Presidents

funeral.

My family was terrified that the symbolicallyriderless horsea beautiful animal-- behindthe presidents casket would break loose. Keepyour eye on him.

The horses name was Black Jack.


9/57

The soldier who kept Black Jack

under control was nineteen.

But it was the horse,not the soldier, whobecame famous.

Visitors began to comedaily to ask to seeBlack Jack, a horse soornery that he wasnever broken tosaddle.

But Black Jack was onhis best behavior withsome of these visitors.

He stood quiet andrelaxed while theyfussed over him.

Black Jack, it turnedout, loved children.
