I am not an ' educationalist '. I work in 'Town Planning ' as part of a local authority's Regeneration Unit.
My main passion is military history particularly the Great War of 1914 - 18. I am currently engaged on a writing project highlighting a particular aspect of the August 1914 campaign in France and Belgium. I was a joint contributor to the late Graham Maddocks' work upon the ' Liver pool Pals 'and his regettaby, unpublished manuscript expanding upon the story of the Lusitania.
I have been a student of Kennedy assassination since 22 November, 1963 when I was an impressionable 10 year old schoolboy glued to a television set and the fascination with the case has never really left me. A founder member of the British research Group ' Dallas 63 'I realised one ambition by visiting Dallas in November, 1963 attending the ASK Conference that year. Following on from this I had the privilege of contributing to Lamar Waldron's recent book ' Ultimate Sacrifice ' particularly to those sections detailing the attempts against his life in Chicago and Tampa. John H Davis, author of the classic 'Mafia Kingfish ', believes that I am a professional writer ( !! ) since he considers me to be " very well informed " and has been kind enough to correspond with me over the years.
My interest in all things JFK waned somewhat over the past decade as I waited impatiently for Lamar's book to appear in print. At certain points I despaired of the story ever appearing in print. Needless to say, so I suppose I must say it, the recent publication has renewed and dee pened my desire to have ' the truth come out' and thus I seek membership of this forum.
