Fifty years ago the news that stunned the Nation and the World was:  John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was fatally shot while traveling with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife Nellie, in a presidential motorcade.

Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard the New?  If you are over a certain age I bet you do, even the emotions return when you think about it.
