JFK Assassination--1963
Forty five years ago today John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. We went to the assassination site a couple of months after that. That seems so long ago when I think of it now.We drove along that same street that Kennedy's entourage rode; We saw the grassy knoll which has played so much a part of the whole story; we saw the book storage window through which Oswald supposedly fired the bullet which killed Kennedy. Will we ever know the complete truth about that story? Most of the people who might know the truth are now gone so it is remote that we will ever know any more than we know now.
We lived through a really big thing in history--many without realizing it. Now we have lived through another big thing in history--the election of a black president. All we can do is hope that Obama is half the president that Kennedy was.

I recently read Vince Bugliosi's book on the assassination, "Reclaiming History." It's a huge book -- weighs about 8 pounds, and it took me several weeks to read it, but it is certainly interesting. He examines all the conspiracy theories. His conclusion is that Oswald was a nut who decided by himself to kill the president, and that's what happened.
