It was 50 years ago...
Purely by coincidence, yesterday involved my one and only visit to Dallas on the 50th Anniversary of John F. Kennedy's assassination. I was on a very long drive so there was no time to stop, merely gaze out across a dull and rainy downtown whilst driving by on the freeway.
JFK's assassination was one of those moments in history when the world stopped turning. Like most people of my age I remember where I was, in the living room with my parents, tea finished, watching BBC which was just about the only channel on the old b+w tele when the news broke.
