Re: JFK at 49

I was in Jr. High shop class when the announcement came over the PA system. We went home early and watched TV for the next several days. I also remember seeing Oswald shot as he was leaving the basement of the police building.

JFK at 49

The date, November 22, is stuck in my memory.
November 22 marks the 49th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The memory of the tragedy in Dallas seems to be fading in America's collective consciousness. Few people younger than myself (I'm 54) have any memory of the day it actually happened. 9/11 has certainly replaced 11/22 as the time stamp of American catastrophic angst.
