Where were you when JFK died? - Ralph Waggener's story With his wife of one month's blessing, the writer and three friends, Arthur Corbin, Kenneth Royse, and Willie M. Feese, Jr., left at midnight for the funeral of President John F. Kennedy, in Blue VW Beetle. It was an unforgettable experience. 'When the six white horse drawn caisson bearing the casket and President Kennedy passed you could hear nothing but the click of the horse hooves on the pavement; and when the riderless horse with the boots placed backwards in the stirrups came by, it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up,' Ralph Roy Waggener remembers. There's also the trip in verse: Poetry by Wiilie M. Feese, Jr.: The funeral of JFK By Ralph Roy Waggener - based on memory - only some could be wrong I was sitting on the counter at Harry Lee Dohoney's service station when the news came over Billy Ray Dohoney's fancy portable radio that our President John F Kennedy had been shot.

Since our campus has now become tobacco free and the crop is no longer grown on the grounds the familiar items were no longer needed.
