Night Work The year that President Kennedy was shot – in 1963, I was working at the “Long Distance” located in mid town – and one of the “Telephone Operators” that left at the end of her shift – walking to the area where she had parked her car, earlier in the day, was now in an area too dark and isolated – that when she was attacked, brutally murdered, something just too shocking to talk about, but, because of this situation, changes were made to protect “Telephone Operators” that worked the late shifts – in order to protect them when leaving the building, till they got to their parked cars – there were “Guards” walking with them – and that situation was resolved.

“To this day, I have never heard – whether or not the Criminals were found and received the punishment that is required for this type of crime?”

“Just wondering?”
