I have not watched any of the JFK 50th Anniversary shows. There's nothing there that I have not seen before. No sense wondering what if, because we will never know. This month also marks another Anniversary of the killing of Mayor George Moscone and Gay Icon Harvey Milk. I knew them as friends,they fall into that "what if ?"category,too.
This is the lessor of my known images of Harvey Milk taken on Orange Tuesday 6/7/77... However what I love about it is MILK forever NOW! (c) Jerry Pritikin

I refused to watch any of the JFK stuff too. The interpretations by the narrators about how we felt those four days annoys me.
I hated the movie Milk because people who saw it, but didn't live it, get the wrong impression of the era. I thought the movie The Times of Harvey Milk was much more accurate. I've never be able to convey to younger gays the "feeling" of the late 70's and very early 80's.
You lived through it all so I imagine you must get more peeved when that time is "revised" in the telling of our history.11
It was the best of times and the worst of times all together...however i have my images to show and the stories behind them. I was lucky that I have no scars... just good memories.
