Saturday, November 23, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

November 23, 1963
Saturday, rainy day, 40's.  Carol went to party at Sandy McPherson's.  We went to Clifford's in pm but no one at home.  Sue stayed overnight with Melody at Louise's.  We watched T.V. most of the time about Kennedy's death.
Comment:  And again, our world will never be the same..and this is some of what we learned as we watched the drama unfold on live television:  Lee Harvey Oswald used a 6.5mm Carcano Model 91/38 Italian rifle that he bought through mail order for $19.95 plus shipping and handling.  
 Here is his post-arrest interview and as I watch this again I'm amazed how cool and collected he is.  He even sound sounds kind of innocent....

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
