Recommended Posts

Part Nine: Acting as part summary (thus, some repetition from prior parts) and part loose ends collection (new stuff), Vince Palamara catalogues some more very interesting "official" and unofficial Secret Service items of interest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ItmBueOcac

Part Eight: Vince Palamara explores "official" history as portrayed in pre and post assassination (kids/ adults) books, as well as other interesting loose ends (including photographs and correspondence):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZQghKDgaZ8

Part Seven: JFK, Marilyn Monroe...and FLOYD BORING?!?!? Also, Thomas Shipman, the agent who passed a way a few short weeks before Dallas [10/14/63, to be exact: "heart attack" at Camp David...](and who could have been JFK's driver instead of the inept Greer) is discussed (twice), among many other items of interest (including Secret Service Agent Wade Rodham, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON'S UNCLE!):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seS32H_tFy4

Part Six: Vince Palamara discusses Secret Service agent Emory Roberts and the whole "official history" issue of JFK allegedly being difficult to protect and even allegedly ordering the agents off the back of his limousine, among other things:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q6Z_njSD9U

Part Five: What President Lyndon Johnson thought of the inept ASAIC (number three man; on the Texas trip; riding in the limousine) Roy H. Kellerman: ouch!!!!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72uLzSwh7oU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCMBioLcQiY

Part One: the strange presence of PRS Secret Service employees Glen A. Bennett and the heretofore virtually unknown Howard K. Norton on President Kennedy's fatal trip to the Lone Star State, as well as in Florida (and, in Bennett's case at least, New York) in November 1963:

The most important man in the Secret Service on November 22, 1963 was the Special Agent in Charge of the New Orleans office John W. Rice, who was never questioned about what his role was in the investigation of the assassination and may still be alive.

Any information about him at all would be appreciated, but we've gone over every other Secret Agent a hundred times and we know nothing about the only one who really matters - John W. Rice.

Where was he from?

Where did he go to school?

How did he get into the Secret Service?

How did he get such an important position as SAIC of NO while so young?

Who was the John W. Martin he was sent to investigate at 1 pm on 11/22/63?

Why was John W. Rice, SAIC of the NO SS office in the office of the Special Investigations office of the US AFB at Schrieveport, La. when the assassination took place?

What became of the official records of Adele Edisen's telephone contacts with him before the assassination and the interview records after the assassination?

Was John W. Rice, SAIC of NO with the FBI liason with the SS Orrin Bartlett interviewing Adele Edisen in New Orleans at the time Ruby killed Oswald and what became of those records?

Did Rice and Bartlett fly in a private plane from New Orleans to Dallas that afternoon, and if so, what became of those records?

Since John W. Rice, SAIC NO SS was responsible for all aspects of the Secret Service investigations in New Orleans, why wasn't he questioned by the WC, HSCA or ARRB, and what became of him?

Is he still alive?

Why is no one else interested in locating him and interviewing him, or finding out where he came from and what happened to him?

Thanks to anyone else who is interested in this person and for trying to answer any of these questions,

Bill Kelly

Bill,

John W. Rice has been dead for a minimum of 6 years and 4 months. This is his sister, Mary's obit. It is authentic because it describes the first names of Mary's nieces, who my research matches as secret service agent John Rice's' two daughters, described in a April 16, 1959 El Paso Herald Post newspaper column titled, "Talk of the Town".

Thanks Tom,

If he has two daughters, maybe they can answer some of the questions.

It would also be nice if there was an obit for JWR.

The "Secret" Service were not so secret that day.

The photos, the videos, the witness testimony clearly show that they were not supposed to protect Kennedy that day.

Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool , or part of the cover up.

I thought this was pretty compelling, in addition to Secret Service Agent Thomas Shipman, who is listed, all these other people died no doubt within 72-96 hours of each other.

Pretty interesting list.

I'm confused. Are these people supposed to have been killed? How are they related to the assassination?

Their obituaries all appeared in the Chicago Tribune on October 15, 1963, whether they were all residents of the Windy City,

or a mixture of some in Chicago and some in other cities, I cannot say, but all of the obituaries appeared in the Chicago Tribune

for October 15, 1963. As to their cause of death I would not have any more idea of that, than anyone else reading this.

Is it me? Is anyone getting this? Why is it important who died on October 15, 1963? What does any of this have to do with anything? There's an obit page everyday. So what?

Why did you post this? What is compelling about this?

Joe why don't you quit acting like a schmuck.......If the post annoys you so much don't read it...As to your question, I posted the obit because it had Thomas Shipman's death mentioned, it gave information regarding his death, which has been in short

supply. The other obits were also included in the same page, I felt they were interesting.

if you have a problem with the post, deal with it. I don't like someone busting my chops because "they" don't think it is noteworthy. You don't speak for everybody.
