I worked in Louisiana where this remains a much discussed. Then I worked in Tampa where JFK had been before Dallas. James Ellroy brought it all back. Minsk. So much. Oswald's Tale.
I did know about the Sixth Floor Museum, but didn't realize there was such a great selection of materials on sale there...it figures though.
I ended up in the Dallas Police bulilding in 1966, rode down that elevator to the garage with a police escort and one of the cops had been there when Ruby shot Oswald, he showed me an my friend the spot where Oswald fell, It was rather errie being only three years from the time it happened. I saw the event happen live on TV and could see it in my mind as I stepped off the elevator into the garage..
I was a singer in a band that was from Lake Charles at the time. We were called the Oracle. I was with the rythm guitarist Ronnie Hamilton. We were driving the drummer's mother's car when we were stopped on the FWY leaving Dallas in a caravan of three cars, Ronnie was driving the station wagon wiith the drum set and some mic stands and stuff in the back.
The rest of the band got a bit far ahead of us and didn't see that we had been stopped by the police.
At any rate, Ronnnie knew the name of the drummers mom and the cops were able to get the phone number and call her. She verified that she knew us and we were using her car. So it took about an hour to finally get released and get on the road again.
I was a great fan of JFK, and was totally devistated when he was killed. No matter how many time I have watched it, it still breaks my heart to watch the Zapruder Film. I have watched it so many time in my studies of the assassination, and the arguments on the Internet about the event. There was a group of quacks led by Jim Fetzer, who claimed that the Z-Film was bogus, and had been altered.
I wrote this article for my first blog:
THE ZAPRUDER FILM
An Accurate Representation of The Kennedy Assassination
“The goal to create a “Kodachrome original” provides further insurmountable challenges..”
I have a massive backlog of research on the JFK Assassination from three seperate Wordpress blogs now. The current one (this one) is only the first I plan to update on this site.
I have had some knock down drag out arguments with Jean Davison, one of Mailer's sychophants over his superfluous book OSWALD'S TALE. She was a participant in jfkfacts.org forums...some ten or more years ago now. Jefferson Morley runs the site, which I believe is still on the web.
Jean Davison wrote 'Oswald's Game' which relied heavily on Norman Mailers tome. Her arguments in favor of the Warren Report were...shal we say, 'shallow'.
I visited the Sixth Floor Museum and fell apart. Do you know Dallas PL has this collection? https://dallaslibrary2.org/dallashistory/kennedy.php
