JFK assassinated November 22, 1963. 55 years ago. Hard to believe.

Still remember where I was when I heard he'd been shot. I was 23, in grad school.

The campus memorial service in inner quad--the faculty marched in dressed in their academic regalia.

It was the first time I ever saw grown men cry in public.
