Just as a historical note, it was forty-two years ago this weekend
> (Thanksgiving weekend, 1963) ...
Sorry, PAT. It was the week before Thanksgiving.
The assassination was on a Friday and I was in school. There is no school on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Ergo...
Cheers,
Henry
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Maybe you are correct; it was a long time ago (as you and I both know in our ancient ages!) Something I am not clear on, however: Thanksgiving is always a variable date holiday. It _always_ comes on Thursday, but is it the _last_ Thursday in November or the _fourth_ Thursday in November (sometimes there are five Thursdays.)? I know that now and again merchants complain when there is a 'late Thanksgiving' as they get 'cheated' out of a week of Christmas sales. What is the exact rule? And do you remember when Memorial Day used to _always_ be May 30, no matter what day of the week it was? If it came on Sunday sometimes, then we kids in school felt 'cheated' because we did not get an extra holiday from school. But if it fell on Wednesday, our parents felt 'cheated' since it was impossible to drive any distance on holiday and get back home on the same day (so as to not miss next day's work or kid's school day, etc.) PAT]
