Michael Janavel, ’67, on November 22, 1963

In our previous newsletter, we published an article written by Tim Bolton ’65, recounting his experience on the day of John F. Kennedy’s assassination, which occurred while he was a student at Stuyvesant. We asked alumni to send us their own memories of the events of November 22, 1963.
