Fifty Years Ago

At lunch today, Ray read to us from The Last Battle and a children's biography on J. F. Kennedy's assassination. It was moving to be reminded of all that took place that day, but distinctly, the images of Walter Cronkite weeping on live television as he announced the death of the president. And the world missed the story of the death of C. S. Lewis that happened only an hour before.

Visit The Dancing Puritan as we remember a great man, C.S. Lewis.  Lewis died at 5:30 PM (Oxford Time) on November 22, 1963 about an hour before JFK was shot in Texas at 12:30 PM.
