Tribute to JFK

A few years ago I managed to find a copy of this issue of SATURDAY EVENING POST and thought today might be a good day to bring it out. It's been 47 years.

Ron Scheer said...: The date rang a bell for me this morning, and I had to check online to be sure. I was a senior in college in 1963, and for my generation, I think, it was a watershed event - like 9/11 has become today.

Those brief years of Camelot were an innocent age by comparison with our own, yet they were not without their crises - Cuba, Little Rock, and all the turbulence that waited in the wings that came to be known as "the Sixties."; November 22, 2010 at 10:27 AM

Deka Black said...: I'm too young to have lived the death of JFK. And, from what i now thanks to my parents, the news about that.. well, let's say this way: In those years, we had a dictatorship in Spain, the people was worried with another things. The common people, i mean. The ones in places of command... i suppose they worried, but not for the sae reasons what worried you all in the USA.; November 23, 2010 at 10:45 AM
