Farewell Helen Thomas

***********************************************************

FAREWELL, HELEN THOMAS!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MANY YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.

************************************************************

Helen and I go back a long time. She was there sharing our country's grief as we witnessed the assassination of a beloved president. Strangley, I didn't vote for John F. Kennedy. I wasn't even a Democrat. It took watching the many press conferences President Kennedy held and his quiet respect for Helen, who was old at that time.
