I happened to be in Dallas on business on November 22 several years ago, and I mentioned something about, wow, I'm in Dallas on this momentous day to the young market research attendant. She didn't know what I meant.
Yes, it was a very, very sad day. I have visited Dealy Plaza, though I didn't travel to Dallas just for that reason. But yeah---it is smaller than it looks. Also, I've read extensively on the Assassination. Another thing that was kinda bizarre in the chain of events was that Kennedy was murdered on Friday afternoon, and in his grave on the following Monday. It's strange, compared to all the protracted hoopla following the deaths of other dignitaries, since then.
