A Desperate Hope; 11/22/'63

In the large room of the lodge at Bear Mountain State Park, near West Point; after our team's brief, Friday workout for our Saturday game; between reels of film of our previous year's game; I returned from the restroom to my seat in front of the screen; the teammate beside me said simply-but-gravely: "It's hard to believe, isn't it?" My heart sank as my ignorance replaced itself with an image of an assassination of President Kennedy. In desperate hope that the image would prove wrong, I managed to whisper "Why, what happened?"
