Today is the 47th anniversary of the assassination of the 35th President of the Unites States.
He was 46 years old when he was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
I visited Dealey Plaza in Dallas in the early 1980s with a friend from Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia. As we looked down in silence from Oswald's window in the Texas Book Depository building - where it's believed the shots were fired- my friend put his hand on my shoulder and said, "The whole world mourned that day."
