Hello. This Wednesday will be November 13. That's nine days prior to the 50th anniversary of President Jack Kennedy's assassination. This is the major big deal referred to in our title.
If you lived through it, you'll never forget that day. If you didn't you have nothing (so far) to compare it with. September 11, 2001 was a shock, a disaster, and a tragedy. But it was very different from living in a country where we were accustomed to things going along normally and well.
That said, on Wednesday, we have as a guest on our radio program, Larry Hancock. If you've heard Larry on our show or elsewhere, before, you know what a great guy he is and what a fascinating guest. We'll discuss his latest book, as well as the one he wrote specifically about the president's murder, Someone Would Have Talked.
At the risk of being overly self-promoting, if you want to look at Larry's books, go to the Amazon banner at the top of this page and click there. Should you buy any of Larry's books (or anything else for that matter), Amazon will throw a few coins our way, without costing you anything.
But however you look at Larry's books, you should do so.
Larry will be with us for the full hour, and if you have questions of him, you'll be able to call in. The program starts at 9:00 PM, Eastern Time, and is well worth your time. If you should miss it (some people, I suppose, may have to work during that time), you can catch the podcast, beginning the next day. Tune in at http://GoingBeyondRadio.com/JeffBushman (if you're listening life, you don't need the slash or my name).
Larry will be attending a conference next week in Dallas relating to the assassination, but we've got him first.
Trivia Questions
As you might have guessed, this is the trivia.
Following are some questions and below that will be the answers. What a novel arrangement.
1. Who was President Nixon's Secretary of
Defense during his first administration?
2. One of the Secretaries in the
president's cabinet is the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
What did that Department used to be called?
3. What was the one cabinet department
created in the administration of Lyndon Johnson?
4. What was the cabinet department
created in the administration of George W. Bush?
5. Who was the youngest President of
the U.S.?
The answers appear below our next section, so you don't have to be tempted to cheat by having the answers right below the questions.
Speaking of Books
If you'd be so kind, take a look at the books I've written (BTW, we're working on another one - regarding health and weight loss). Go to Amazon.com (need I re-mention the banner above?) and do a search on my name and you'll see three books (and a "short"). If you're not interested in the books, that's fine, but if you are, they're available for y our computer or e-reader.
Trivia Answers
OK, here we go.
1. Melvin Laird
2. Health Education and Welfare
3. The Department of Housing and Urban
Development
4. Homeland Security. Frankly the name of this Department has always bothered me. Use of the word "Homeland" sounds somewhat like it came out of Germany in World War Two. I'm not saying George W. Bush is a Nazi or even a fascist, necessarily. I'm just saying....
5.TR. If you said JFK, that's
understandable, but the was the youngest person elected president, at
age 43. When Teddy Roosevelt took office at 42, it was because he
ascended to that position on McKinley's assassination.

Thanks for checking in. We'll see you on the radio.
