Sadly familiar view from our Dallas hotel window

Checked in this afternoon at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Dallas, site of the annual Leadership Conference of Women Religious gathering. At the check in desk a clerk asked if I had any special room in mind. I answered that one with a view of the area would be appreciated. "You can see the downtown area," she remarked handing me the card key. Upon entering the room I went to the window, opened it, and saw a familiar site, long ago etched into my consciousness, the book depository out of which Lee Harvey Osward shot President Kennedy in November, 1963. It remains a haunting site. You can see the view my wife and I see as we look through the 10th story hotel window. Oswald shot Kennedy from the top floor, sixth window from the left. What a tragedy.
