Sepia Saturday - Nov 23


Sepia Saturday

I'm posting at Sepia Saturday today. This week's challenge:


204 : It is 50 years since the assassination of JFK. It was one of those iconic moments in history, just like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. So photographs of momentous moments is one of our themes for this week, along with anything else you might find in the photograph.

In 1963 on a Friday November 22 when JFK was murdered in Dallas I was in grade 6 at St. Kevin's School in Montreal. 

It was mid-afternoon and I remember another teacher coming into the classroom to tell our teacher.


What else made the news that day?
The Beatles released their second U.K. album, With The Beatles.


Died: Aldous Huxley, 69, English novelist


Died: C. S. Lewis, 64, Irish novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian and Christian apologist
