22 Nov 12 - 08:41 AM (#3440392) Subject: RE: BS: Today: Anniversary of Kennedy Killing From: GUEST,999 "How often does it [Nov 22] fall on Thanksgiving?" A better phrasing of the question would be "How often does Thanksgiving fall on November 22?" because November 22 is 'fixed' and Thanksgiving is not. 2012, 2018, 2029, 2035, 2040, 2046, 2057, 2063, 2068, 2074, 2085, 2091, 2096 When we look at those numbers we can easily see a pattern that will hold true until we once again re-adjust the calendar by having a double leap year--that is a leap year where there are TWO extra days added, but since that occurs only once every 10,000 years or so it need not affect this calculation. The pattern is easily discernible by noting the years between the above dates. The pattern is such: 6,11,6,5,6,11,6,5,6,11,6,5 and so on. A very simple calculation when compared to "Who put the bomp in the bomp shu bomp shu bomp?" |

Seniors in study hall had been pulled out to deliver the message to the teachers. Our French teacher was an eccentric woman. Normally I enjoy eccentric people, but this one was rude to students who struggled to learn French. Luckily, I was at least adequate in the subject so did not incur her wrath, but I disliked how she treated others. After the senior whispered to her, the teacher pulled a face and said, loud enough for all of us to hear, "In the head?" The senior nodded. Later the principal came on the intercom and told us what had happened and that we should all go to our lockers, get our things, and go home. A few students had cars. Some others took the city's public buses. Most of us walked. I remember feeling like I was in a fog for the entire walk home. As a teacher, I was on the other side of the desk when the Challenger shuttle exploded and when the World Trade Center was destroyed. |

I was outside those pillars. It was a Friday afternoon, and school let out early. Tghe carpool mother for the day pulled up. I don't remember who she was, but I'll always remember that she got out of the car and asked her daughter, "Guess what?" The daughter answered "What?" The mother said, "The president's been shot". I thought she was joking. All the way home we told each other that he was young and strong and he'd get better. Mother told us what last rites were. My sister's birthday is November 25. She often got it off from school, because of Thanksgiving. But never before or since on a Monday. Grandma and Grandaddy came early that day, so we could watch the funeral together. Odd to think, Grandma could remember McKinley's funeral, and Harding's, and Roosevelt's. (Note: McKinley was killed by an anarchist named Leon Cszogloz. Harding and Roosevelt died of natural causes.) Cszogloz, whose name I probably misspelled, acted alone, as did Charles Guiteau who shot James Garfield. I expect Oswald worked alone. |
