Every time I see a group photo of the Kennedys it reminds me of October 1962 and the Cuban Missile Crisis. 28th October 1962 and the world pulled back from the brink, best birthday present I ever had!

Interesting pics

Sad picture of the Indian looking down on the Railroad-I wonder what he was thinking? the beginning of the end for their way of life?
