I should know that.

Over breakfast my wife said today and I never question what she says.
Been doing that for 58 years and she still gets up and cooks breakfast
for me. )

Sorry. Please adjust your calendar.

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.


Today is November 14, 2003. JFK was shot and killed on November 22, 1963.

As a teenager, I lived overlooking the Columbia River and the Portland
Airport. The "Scorpion" was a fantastic sounding airplane, especially the
"BANG" when the afterburners were lit on takeoff.

Best,
