he CARD! AL is dea'z'catea' to john F. KEHHKUB2 Shock, sorrow, and disbelief were expressed on stunned and tear-stained faces after the assassina- tion of President John F. Kennedy, November 22, 1963. Marshall halls were remarkably silent that afternoon as everyone tried to grasp the unbeliev- able situation: first came acceptance of this death as a reality, then indignation, hurt, and intense grief followed. Marshallites, Americans, andthe entire world felt a deep personal loss for this man who had given so much of himself to humanity: his youth, idealism, and stamina, his curiosity and intellect, his immense understanding, his courage, and his life. The death of John Kennedy, thirty- sixth president of the United States, has left a deep void in the heart of this nation, but it is his life that will be remembered. ,m . ..W'.liw Q A diy V f W W M W Q te,.w-D U 7 , 4.
