Re: Anybody here, see my old friend John ?
I worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and was donating blood when I heard the announcement on a transistor radio that the President had been assassinated.
I was in a Navy Reserve Squadron of P2V's, so I was able to report to the Naval Air Station New York in full uniform and got a hop on an R3D (DC-5) to Washington DC. I rendered my final salute to President John F. Kennedy in the Rotunda as he was lying in state. Still makes my eyes wet to this day.

Re: Anybody here, see my old friend John ?
I went to the JFK Library in Boston once nearly 30 years ago and was totally overcome with emotions just looking at the displays and pictures.
It was a devastating event and years following had many more difficult days...
