I'm not as Geezerish as you ;-) ~My only memory of JFK's passing (I was 3 or 4) is hearing those incessant drums all day, it seemed. You are right, though, these drums beat for an honorable man. That, plus the fact that RWR has died after a good, long life, and 'color TV!' give them two distinct auras.

Switching topics-I have to admit, it did my heart great good to see the likes of Daschle, hiterly, pelosi,etc FORCED to stand silently by and listen to words of great truth and compassion pounding into to rotunda and across the airwaves. Their vitriolic furor, barely masked, was simply nice to behold, for a change.

I am delighted that so many people who dispised Ronald Reagan had to listen to a great wave of truth. And will have to do it again, Friday. Good for the soul, good for our nation, and good for those who would re-write history in order to continue to lie they dwell within.
