Macro/Micro And Sixty Years

One solace that horrible day, now sixty years ago, was the fact there was a peaceful process of succession.

Thus I “cross the line” (would “Rather rather” Jack (who the bleep am I to call him Jack?!!) had lived, making his “last rites” induced “the President is dead,” invalid and maybe ruining his career??) and say J.F.K. killed those 60 years ago today, “told” me, he would have a long talk with his nephew Robert Jr.– warning him the shame he would emit, if his third party candidacy aids one who did not follow the Constitution/succession, pull a totally catastrophic “Grover Cleveland,” which at this moment in time is entirely possible!

Off the soapbox and love him or not, President Kennedy had talent, intelligence and possibility. All that wiped away by “they,” that day.

“Micro” recalls my beloved third grade teacher, June Drusin, who guided us through, what at 8 years old, was hard to understand, fathom and was and still is that which haunts.

Ode to June’s beloved husband Sherman, this a second “anniversary” with him gone.

Last seen, he showed me a book about President Kennedy he and June shared as they did well over 60 years (that #), of this precious thing called life.

That ended for one I loved that day and for so many others, however, some remain and no names, but, they are beloved.

Mr. Lear 100 plus and with the same name as my father, noted “gratitude” is so important.

On we go!!

Dan Rather, pictured below, while not in Mr. Cronkite’s “ballpark” as an anchor but a “2 TD/14 point(s) road favorite at Nora O’Donnell” and most, if not all since, (Peter Jennings was at least as good), proved to be an excellent reporter.
