I was 12.
We were afraid.
You gave us hope.
I was 15.
We were still afraid.
Mrs. West collapsed
in front of us
in Latin class
my sophomore year.
It was profound.
I am 57.
We have other fears.
We have not found
another like you.
But we still hope.
We hold
a candle
for you.

I left you a couple comments from the last PBWH diary. Hope your holiday was wonderful!
I’ll be leaving this afternoon, so take good care if we don’t talk again today.
Maybe, the world was but, I never looked at it the same way again. November 23rd, 1963 was the first time I went to church on a Saturday. My 13 year old brain kept telling me that this kind of thing happened in history, not yesterday. I don’t remember when it finally sunk in that it was, in fact, history happening in real time. Dallas became the center that would “not hold”, as the rest of that decade spun wildly through time and space. 11/22 changed everything.
One way to remember is to arm yourself with facts.
If you have not perused the website of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, the most comprehensive JFK assassination archive and information center on the net, than you owe yourself a look.
When you are finished, you will know who George Joannides is, and why the CIA is going to court to keep documents on this individual from ever coming to light.
