50 Years..
Can't believe it has been this long... I was a sophomore in high school, coming down the main staircase at Redmond Union High School in Redmond, Oregon. Small town USA... when I heard what had happened, it seems the world and our innocence was never ever the same....
This is why I joined the Navy.. his inaugural address resonated with me. It meant so much to so many... to bad we can't all get there again. Have that intense purpose in life. I have been truly blessed in that I was able to be right here, to stand on this spot and read these words in person. It was truly moving moment.
Take Care & God Bless one and all

I was a sophomore too, in biology class at the time. JKF, was the true man for all seasons.
ReplyDeleteI was a sophomore too. I wonder how the world would have been different had he lived. Would he have stopped the Vietnam war? Won a second term? I remember being told that in 50 years all the records about the assaination would be open and available. Has that happened or are we settled on the Oswald/Ruby way of bringing it to a quick close?
