The fountain was dedicated to the memory of the Late President on September 14, 1964.<\/p>\n<p>Anybody that can remember November 22, 1963 will almost certainly remember where they were and what they were doing when they got the news about the slain president. My &#8216;where I was and what I was doing&#8217; story takes me back to when I was on active duty in the U.S. Navy. I was stationed at the Naval Air Station, Point Mugu, California. After driving one of the Pilots to the administration building, I was returning to the flight line in the division&#8217;s Jeep. One of the division petty officers was in his car in the parking lot listening to the radio. He said &#8220;they shot the president!&#8221; For the next few days, the base commander directed all sailors to wear dress or undress blues instead of the usual dungarees. I remember riding back to Santa Monica along the coastline (SR 1) and seeing a throng of media outside of the beachfront home belonging to Peter Lawford who was married to one of Kennedy&#8217;s sisters. Radio stations played nothing but dreadful dirge music, as I recall.<\/p>\n<p>To view the 3D image, you will need <a href=\"http:\/\/vernabob.com\/blog\/bobs-stuff\/bobs-3d-stuff\/#glasses\">3D glasses<\/a>.
