40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at
Bangor, ME to the Oregon Air Guard at Portland OR. Chugging along at
20K, keeping under the big jet stream blowing east, I was about 150
out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on
frequency and announced that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas
and was dead.

May he rest in peace.

40 years ago this week I was a young lad in England excitedly
waiting for the 2nd episode of Dr. Who on the BBC. Kennedy's
death and funeral changed all the schedules and delayed the
broadcast for a week. One week is an awfully long time to an
8-year-old.

I've harbored a simmering resentment of the Kennedy clan ever
since, and now vote against them and their Democrat friends
whenever I get the chance. Revenge is sweet.
