I, too, was in Dallas that day, had come into town from Denton where I was back in college and was headed for a dentist appointment. Everyone at the dental college was huddled around radios and when I asked someone what was going on, they told me that Kennedy had been shot. As I've mentioned somewhere along the way, I had met him in CA when he was campaigning. It suddenly felt like a very personal loss. A sad day it was.Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259032453252447339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-27351455599915223462008-09-11T15:12:00.000-07:002008-09-11T15:12:00.000-07:00Yes, I remember well that day.

For years I could not believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone because my mind wouldn't let me believe a single depraved man could do such a thing to our nation. Since 9/11 I have accepted that something done by a few can bring our country to its knees. Lee Harvey Oswald is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery in Ft. Worth very near some of my family. Oh my, those were awful days. CBS journalist Bob Schieffer is a Ft. Worth boy and got his break in the news business when the Ft. Worth Star Telegram sent him to deliever Lee Harvey Oswald's mother to see about her son in custody in Dallas, Texas. She was a real character. It's painful, even today, to look back on those days.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
