If you’re not following Letters of Note, you’re really missing out. This recent entry highlights a memo from the Administrator of Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas. It was written a few days after President John F. Kennedy died in their Emergency Room.

Our pride is not that we were swept up by the whirlwind of tragic history, but that when we were, we were not found wanting.
