ANOTHER DAY IN NOVEMBER!

      ANOTHER DAY IN NOVEMBER!      

   Thanksgiving is just a few days off now.

 But today I'm remembering another day

in November. It was November 22, 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

get over all of the tragedies we face.

Still, November 22nd will always be a

day to remember. Hope you're well and

that all your NEWS, unlike the news of 

that November 22nd, is good!
