I was feigning illness because I hated Mrs. Gladys' 3rd grade glass. I was home watching Bozo's circus when network news broke in. What was more interesting was the reaction of my grandfather's friend the following weekend. We were connected to the Chicago Outfit and my grandfather said to Lenny, isn't Jack Ruby one of your guys? I never saw Lenny get that angry and grab my grandfather by his lapel and said, "Moeie,never bring that up again." I grandfather went pale and from that moment we never talked about it again.
