I will always remember Maria....we were in Dr. McClintock's Economics class taking a midterm when prof announced a shooting in
Dallas wounding he thought a senator. After the test we were in the hall discussing questions on exam. A girl came up and shamed us for talking about that when the President (JFK) had been killed. I will never forget that moment. Every time I think of President Kennedy, I think of hearing the news with Maria. She was sweet and kind lady.
