There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Was on the bus headed home from business college. Someone had a transistor radio and announced that the President had been shot.
I was glued to the TV set for the next couple days. :thumbup:

I can handle the arithmetic Jerry, but why the 2 threads with the same text & the disparity between title reading 54 years ago on this thread but the text content above? :dontknow:
Or did he get stolen by aliens like our Prime Minister Harold Holt?? Or was that a Soviet sub.... :shocked:

It did happen in 1963. That is what I am remembering. I don't think there was much in the news about it this time. :dontknow:

I was in the 6th grade in a small Texas town just north of Ft. Worth. I remember the Principal coming on the 'speaker' and making the announcement. Total silence. Complete shock.
A classmate of mine had left for D.C. two years earlier. Her name was Gail and her father was the Chief Of Police until ~two years before when he accepted a job to become a Secret Service Agent, hence the move to D.C.
Gail and her mother accompanied her dad to Dallas since he was on the JFK detail. Gail met Ms. Kennedy at Love Field and Ms. Kennedy gave Gail one of the red roses Ms. Kennedy was given upon arrival at Love.
Some time after the assassination, Gail's father, Mike, was assigned to LBJ once LBJ retired. They all lived near Johnson's ranch near Austin.
I'll never forget the day Kennedy came to Dallas.
A story on 'Mike.'
