Gail A. Warren: Repeating sick history

I am 69 years old and remember when I was 16 and John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He had been such a young, vibrant president and everyone seemed to love him and his beautiful family.

On the day he was killed Lyndon Johnson became president, and I remember the sick feeling I had when that became reality.

I was hoping I would never have those feelings again. I had that same sick feeling when I found out Donald Trump would be our next president.

Hoping I will find a reason for that sick feeling to soon go away.

Gail A. Warren
