November 22, 1963
President John F. Kennedy was
assassinated in Dallas Texas
he was a boyhe had sat at his grandmothers knee while aunts and uncles collected at her home to watch Senator Kennedy debate Vice-President Nixon in a Chicago studio not far away from them
he walked home from school for
lunch but there was no lunch on the kitchen table his mother was vacuum-cleaning
she was crying
without eating he returned to
school and watched on a television wheeled into his classroom as a shaken Walter
Cronkite announced President Kennedy died at 1PM Central Standard Time
not something he would ever
forget
1606, Sunday,
