Kennedy

On Friday, November 22, 1963, President John F Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. For many years afterward, I could not hear the date November 22 without powerful memories.  Twelve years ago November 22 was again a Friday, and that morning I was sitting in an eleventh floor conference room at Oracle's headquarters in Redwood Shores. Looking out at the dark, threatening sky, I felt strangely apprehensive, but none of the young techies around me knew the significance of the date.
