WHERE WERE YOU?

               WHERE WERE YOU?

   Thanksgiving is just a few days off now.

This one may seem a bit somber as the virus

pandemic keeps many away from family

members in other communities. It brings

to mind another somber Thanksgiving in

1963. I was driving when I first heard

reports that shots had been fired as the

resident's motorcade drove through Dallas,

Texas. I rushed back to the radio station

where I was working, WNAK to cover

the story. We had no radio network, just

an Associated Press Teletype machine

that printed the latest news as it was

received. I ran an extra long microphone

cord into the closet where we kept the

AP machine and read every word as it

was printed! Of course the climax of

those reports can with confirmation

that President John F. Kennedy had

sustained fatal wounds and had been

pronounced dead.  We didn't know. as

a nation, if we'd get over this tragic

event. We did. Eventually. Just as we

will eventually get over this virus crisis.

Still, November 22nd will always be a

day to remember. Hope you're well and

that all your NEWS is good~
