>I was at my copy writing desk on the first day of my first job at Carl's Ladies Fashion Ready-to-Wear store on Houston St. in downtown San Antonio. The day before my mother and I were on the sidewalk in front of the store where I was going for the job interview when the Kennedy motorcade went by. We waved to him and he waved back. We were the only people standing there at that time and place. I went in, got the job and the next day I was at my desk listening to the radio when news of the assassination broke. I hoped and prayed that he would recover, but soon after the announcement followed that he was dead. 

>My supervisor, Tessa Hohrath, probably a descendant of one of the Nazi's let in by the CIA after WWII, clapped her hands with glee. She went back to solemn poker face when our boss, Carl Stefan, came in to the advertising office and instructed us to cancel all the ads. They would have been a waste of his money. 

>That day after work, stunned, I drove to Austin where we had tickets to attend the banquet at the Municipal Auditorium. No banquet. Instead we gathered at Scholz Garten. We cried and cried while getting drunk. That's where I'm going this evening. 

>I was watching TV as Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. Caught, tried in the news and executed on life television--how pat. When the nineteen terrorists were assembled for public display I was reminded of how easily things can be "solved." Sure.

>Best,
