Couldn't send you a message, but I saw a years old request from you for articles on Sarah T. Hughes.
I have those if you still need them.

Mark... I just noticed this. Sorry about the delay. Yeah, if you have access to those articles from the first day or two, I would appreciate getting a gander at them. I have a chapter on the events on the plane, and the widely divergent claims made in the press in the days and years after the assassination. I found a few articles by Hughes, but am pretty sure a few slipped through my fingers. The main thing I'm after is that some of LBJ's buddies put out the story that LBJ and Hughes sat around waiting for Jackie to arrive at the plane, when Jackie arrived at least 15 minutes before Hughes. Evidently, LBJ was afraid RFK was gonna say he made a power grab, so he beat him to the punch and created the false narrative RFK told him to get sworn in in Dallas, and that Jackie was not inconvenienced by his being sworn in. When this just wasn't true...
In any event, the advantage of having an online "book" is that I can update it as I get access to more material and learn more about the subject on which I'm pontificating... So, by all means, send me what you got.
Thanks for the offer.
Regards, Pat
