...Speaking of Haverford II

In the fall of 1963 I attended an anti-war demonstration in Philadelphia.   Who was the object of the demonstration?  ... that later to be lionized president, John F. Kennedy.   We definitely did not think him a hero for his escalation of the war in Vietnam.   (I say with pride that we were very early opponents of the war.)

I remember being very surprised that he appeared so accessible and physically vulnerable in his open limousine.   (Too prescient, perhaps)

I truly appreciated the value of Friends' Meeting following his assassination.  As usual there was mostly silence with each of us following our own thoughts and feelings.   There were a few people who rose to speak, but the power was in the silence.
