50 years ago today, President John F Kennedy was murdered in Dallas, Texas. He was a World War II veteran, who had served on PT boats in the Pacific Theater. He loved boats. One of my earliest memories is of my mother crying while watching his funeral on television. When I grew up, many homes that I visited had a photo of him hanging on a wall. Later reports indicated that he was not always a nice person, but he deserved to live and watch his family grow up. Many people see his murder as the beginning of a very bad decade.
