..I had just got home from school...and went to the shopping center (they didn't call it malls then)..anyway...I was walking down the sidewalk..looking in the showroom windows (remember those?)..stopping at my favorite window..Sears...I noticed that ..all the TV's (on different chanels)..were Not showing the usual soap operas...very strange....at 13 years old....I had a very sicken feeling in my soul....that something...very bad had happened..

..it was a Friday....the next week..was Thanksgiving...the whole country was so sad..it lasted...past Christmas...1963..the year without...Joy To The World.. I remember it well....
