@James DiEugenio I promoted JFK REVISITED, of course-fantastic book and documentary!

Thanks!!

You are correct- see my first book. It was either Lawson, Sorrels and/or David Grant.

Yes. There was also usually a press photographers flatbed truck filming the motorcade right in front of the presidential limo; many more motorcycles; a second police car filled with armed detectives; in one-third of all of his motorcades, a bubble top (either partial or full, often in good weather); military and police lining the streets and facing the crowds; undercover detectives intermingled IN the crowds themselves; a military aide sitting between the driver and the agent in charge of the trip (usually SAIC Behn and ASAIC Boring); Main Press Secretary Pierre Salinger or his immediate assistant Andy Hatcher on the trip; building rooftops guarded, included the use of a police helicopter, as was done in San Antonio 11/21/63.

"Ex-Secret Agent Leads Drive To Get Smokes For GIs". Jet. Chicago: Johnson Publishing Company. 29 (13): 8. January 6, 1966.

A couple years back, I was excited to have found what I thought was a photo of Abe Bolden with JFK in Chicago 3/23/63 (as you can see by the other doc, he was definitely there). Abe initially said it was him, then thought it over and said it was not. It COULD be another African-American agent by the name of Conrad Cross (sadly, I have no photo of him).

Your books and research are excellent!!

Excellent, Pat! I was at Lancer in 1997 (including on 11/22/97 as a speaker) and I agree with your assessment. Also, Mary was very nice to me.

Hi, Larry! Well said. Yes, I had several dealings with Harry. He was a tortured soul. George Michael Evica said "he needs a hug" and actually tried to befriend him, despite their differences. It worked for a time. Harry did some great work in the medical evidence field but a) his reputation overshadows his work and b) since his books came out before kindle and even Amazon hit in a major way, he is (in some respects) forgotten today, despite two best-sellers.

Yikes! Wow!

I am inundated weekly with inquiries from strangers about Greer shooting JFK and Hickey shooting JFK. These theories are very popular with non-researchers. I suppose the "LBJ did it" theory would be third.

Pat- I respect your opinion quite a bit. What is your take on Harry Livingstone AND his book KILLING THE TRUTH?

The three most obscene theories I have heard: 1) Jackie did it/ was involved 2) Greer shot JFK 3) Hickey shot JFK The most popular dumb theories: 1) Greer shot JFK 2) Hickey shot JFK

Exactly, Jim. They got away with their horrible performance, drinking and carousing the night before and other misdeeds because 1963-1964 was a very naive time in America. They propped up Hill (one of the nine drinkers) and Youngblood as heroes in order to obfuscate their failings, plus they blamed the deceased president for their failure, a lie and a low-class move. Also, back then and even to this day, there is a sort of mental block when it comes to the Secret Service: they are viewed as the "good guys" (unlike the FBI and especially the CIA), so it is hard for many to grasp the idea that they were grossly incompetent or worse. The awards took everyone's eye off the ball.

I know Harry Livingstone excoriated her in his third book KILLING THE TRUTH. I think Harry and others were suspicious of her, despite her impressive archive. As with Gary Mack, there were questions as to her beliefs and motive(s).

Wow---I came across some rare footage of Howard Roffman, a Harold Weisberg protege who wrote one decent book ages ago then disappeared. Look what he has been up to! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Roffman

My pleasure-great website!

They already are: Harry Livingstone - Dealey Plaza UK

Excellent, Jim!

exactly! Exactly-both are stupid!

That is strange. It is the Greer-shot-JFK crap theory I get inundated with from strangers every week! Here is another video about it:
