President Kennedy's death stunned the people of Ceylon.   John F.Kennedy was viewed as a highly intelliegent, charismatic US President by many in South Asia including Ceylon. He was the youngest President of the United States, narrowly beating Richard Nixon in the Presidential Elections in 1961. He was 43 years old.   1961 was a historic year for both Ceylon and the United States of America.On 20th January 1961, John F.Kennedy was sworn in as the youngest ever elected President of the US.  In Colombo, on the 20th of July 1961, Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike widow of Prime Minister S.W.R.D.Bandaranaike was sworn in as the world's first woman prime minister.   Radio Ceylon, the first radio station in South Asia, broadcast news of both occasions.   ON THIS DAY   Click on the photographs of Sirimavo Bandaranaike and John F.Kennedy to read the news reports from the BBC on that very day they were sworn in as the Heads of State of Ceylon and the USA.   You can hear the famous speech by President JF Kennedy on Audio. bandaranaike.jpg BBC News: Read the news report on Sirimavo Bandaranaike being sworn in as Prime Minister of Ceylon jfkinauguration.jpg BBC News: Listen to President Kennedy's famous speech 'Ask not what your country can do for you.' Radio Ceylon highlighted the news of a visit of a delegation from Ceylon which included Dr.N.M.Perera. They met President Kennedy in the Oval Office in the White House in Washington. They were struck by his warmth, his intelligence and his humour. Ceylon and the United States enjoyed warm diplomatic relations during the Kennedy era. kennedy.jpg President John F.Kennedy in the Oval Office-White House, with a delegation from Ceylon The world was in shock when John F.Kennedy was assasinated at 1 pm on 22nd November 2003 in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas - he was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald who fired shots from the top of the Book Depository building in Dealey Plaza.   The legendary newsman Walter Cronkite broke the news over CBS that Kennedy had been shot. Soon the newsflash that John F.Kennedy had died was broadcast over the airwaves of Radio Ceylon. kennedy6.jpg President John F.Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy arrive in Love Field, Dallas on 22nd November 1963 vernoncorea024.jpg Vernon Corea on the front cover of the Radio Times in 1963 in Ceylon In 1963 the popular Radio Ceylon Announcer, Vernon Corea worked as Commercial Assistant in the Commercial Service. It was Vernon who launched Radio Ceylon's tribute to President John F.Kennedy. Vernon included some of the great speeches made by JFK and announced the assasination of the youngest ever President in Dallas, Texas.   Vernon asked Craig Thompson, the young American Peace Corps volunteer - who was in the first batch of Peace Corps staff wotking in Ceylon, to co-present the radio program over the airwaves of Radio Ceylon.   Craig Thompson recounts the tragic day on 22nd November 1963:   'One of the most difficult requests anyone has ever made of me, was when Vernon requested that I record a 30 minute tribute of condolences following the death of President John F. Kennedy--shortly after the assassination.  It was all I could do to "hold it together" while I read the sad messages that had come in from all around the world.  But Vernon was there to help me get through it all.' PICTURE GALLERY OF THE KENNEDY ERA kennedy1.jpg kennedy4.jpg kennedy3.jpg John F.Kennedy was held in respect in Ceylon - by Ceylonese politicians across the political divide. President Kennedy never visited Ceylon, although his rival in the Presidential Elections, Richard Nixon visited Colombo in the 1950s.    People across South Asia were taken up by the youngest ever American President and all that he stood for. They mourned this tragic loss. The Government of Ceylon even released a special First Day Cover in 1963 titled 'Ceylon mourns the death ofPresident John F.Kennedy.'   Vernon Corea never met John F.Kennedy however in 1986 he visited Washington and the John F.Kennedy Center when his brother, Ernest Corea was Sri Lanka's Ambassador to the United States. Vernon was the BBC's Ethnic Minorities Adviser at the time.   It was a very special moment for Vernon, as he stood in the foyer of the John F.Kennedy Center in Washington in 1986. In 1963, Vernon together with Craig Thompson, led Radio Ceylon's tribute to a great American President. vernoncorea0.jpg Vernon Corea at the White House in 1986 nixon1.jpg Richard Nixon visits Ceylon in the 1950s slbc1.jpg Radio Ceylon, the oldest radio station in South Asia in 1963 SELECTED SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT JOHN F.KENNEDY   Listen to the historic speeches of President John F.Kennedy by accessing the website:   http://www.jfklibrary.org/speeches.htm     DEALEY PLAZA - SITE OF THE JFK ASSASINATION   Click on the link below to see the Virtual Visitor site of Dealey Plaza in Texas where President Kennedy was assasinated   http://www.virtualvisitor.com/dealey/dealey.html kennedy5-t.jpg Craig Thompson was an 18 year old volunteer with the American Peace Corps working in Ceylon in 1963.
