November 22, 1963 was the day John F, Kennedy, C. S. Lewis, and Aldous Huxley all died. The significance of Kennedy's passing (assassination) was pretty much known to all; only many years later did the death of C. S. Lewis became important to me. Aldous Huxley -- who knows? Maybe later. The date became even more significant to me years later when Pop passed away on the anniversary, only two days after his last birthday. Pop was actually in Dallas the day Kennedy was shot. We always used to joke around, asking him what he was up to that day. I was only about 5 months old at the time. So I have my alibi.
