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. Big John 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. -- Dr. Tony Cox Citrus Controls Inc. e-mail: http://CitrusControls.com/
