Sorry, Pete. It was JFK's innaugural address.

Hmm...you're right, of course. Dunno how I got that one confused. I wonder
what FDR said that I think is a JFK quote. I obviously have at least two of
them mixed up.

Man, if that's what it takes, I couldn't be elected dogcatcher.

Actually, I don't want politicians who are leaders. Hitler's title was
"the
leader". Mussolini's title was "the leader". Whatever happened to the idea
that
the president and Congreass are *servants* of the people?

It can be said of most people in leadership positions that they are servants
of the people whom they are supposed to lead. Unfortunately, most people
who wind up in leadership positions fail to recognize this and in fact
aspire to positions of leadership for all the wrong reasons.

US politics and businesses alike are prime examples of this. I don't think
there's anything mutually exclusive of a person being a leader and a servant
all at the same time though.

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.

This started OT as I was flying when it happened but sure got off
thread rapidly. Interesting subject to see how history has treated
those involved (facts, innuendo's etc.)

I thought he was killed on 22 November 1963 which means that the anniversary
is next week.

FWIW

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.

I've only been reading this group for a few months, so I have to ask - is
this the first time Pete's been mistaken?
