  1. Ten year old me was in the fifth grade. At about 2 o'clock EST the intercom started playing the radio news that the president had been shot. At about 2:30, the announcement was made that the president was dead. The principal came on the intercom and dismissed the students for the day. When I got home, the tv was already on with the assassination coverage. It was quite monumental for this 10 year old.
  2. Well, that settles it... Seriously, thanks for posting.
  3. My two favorites (cuz it's kind of a tie) are: Accessories After the Fact - Sylvia Meagher Whitewash - Harold Weisberg
  4. Not to nit pick but the car of the right is a 1960 Ford determined by the taillights. I'm pretty sure the car on the left is a 1967 Ford Fairlane.
  5. I'm guessing that it's a reply to the title of this thread, How corrupt was Connally? Very
  6. I was 10 years old at the time. My parents and I were watching TV and I'm guessing it was CBS. Oswald's murder was not shown real time as we were watching. Only a screen crawl alerted us to Oswald's being shot and his eventual death.

  8. Just for fun, how about a pic from door man's perspective...
  9. As of last year, both of the above are still there.
  10. Congrats on your impending visit. I was 10 years old when the assassination happened. I have been fascinated about it ever since. Last year, at the age of 67, I made the trip to Dallas which was a bucket list thing for me. Just being in the plaza was awesome. All things Oak Cliff (Oswald rooming house, Tippit shooting site and the Texas Theater) are very close by Dealey Plaza. Enjoy your visit!
  11. That was definitely a nice gesture to you. I do hope that someday circumstances will allow you to visit Dealey Plaza. That was always a bucket list thing for me and finally, last year, I made the trip at age 67. It was quite the awe inspiring experience.
  12. Thanks for that. I was there a year ago and I seemed to remember 2 X's in the street but none of my photos confirmed that. Now I know I wasn't seeing things 😁
  13. I thought that the name Lee Henry Oswald was used in the mole hunt.
  14. I had a weird Amazon experience the other day. I did a search for "Revisited: Through the Looking Glass" and it showed up in the search window. But when I clicked on it, it didn't show up in the list of available movies. I wasn't signed in so when I did sign in, and I do have Amazon Prime, I did another search, I clicked on it, and then it did show up.
