JFK and the democrats screwed up as usual. Lots of dead people to come because of their stupidity. The democrats never have stopped their stupidity and their policies have killed millions.
We didn’t overlap, but I heard her name a lot.
I had a typesetting shop then, and wrote most of the “crisis” news off to the typical (even then) Media B/S. I started to get nervous though, when they started playing martial/patriotic tunes on the radio. They don’t do that unless war is imminent.
I remember well the so-called Cuban Missile Crisis. During the whole hullabaloo I went about my business as if it were just another day. I knew even then hero of the Bay of Pigs Kennedy didn’t have the stones to really do anything even if the stories of Soviets moving nuclear missiles into Cuba were true. Subsequently I was proven correct, despite all the ridiculous propaganda about Kennedy’s courage and heroism which followed.

Smithsonian is not a reliable source - had a subscription once and every story had either wrong information, disinformation, out right lies, and major omissions - some were mostly wishful thinking.
The school's duck and cover drills had a special sense of urgency for us on a military air station in the south east, 20 miles from Yemassee...
Good point.

Yes, capons.
Thanks for this link.
Interesting time then.
Thanks for the ping.
Cuban exiles with sources still in the country reported that the Communists were building hidden missile sites in the mountains but no one seemed to believe them.
Thank God for the US pilot who got these photos to show where the missiles were parked. I believe he was the one who was shot down by the Reds but somehow managed to get his photos back to US intelligence receivers.
