Subject: RE: BS: J.F.K., 44 Years Today
That day is forever burned into my brain. I was entering a career of rehabilition services for handicapped persons. I was working with Goodwill Industries in San Jose, California. I was on the loading dock, sorting through incoming furniture, when "Tom" came out to the loading dock, in tears. JFK was a hero, especially to handicapped persons. Tom ran the radio repair shop, and heard the news first. I spent the rest of the day consoling workers, driving them home, making sure that everyone was surrounded with friends.

There have been other horrible "benchmarks," but none as devistating as that horrible day in November. Bob
