Bill, Thanks. Oswald may have applied for a job with a roofing contractor working on the roof of the Lone Star Cadillac building back in 1962. Warren Commission Document# 0444 2/27/64 Charles Kunkel Memo for James Rowley, Chief, SS w/attached report RE. Assassination of President Kennedy, SS Control No. 1104 RE. interview w/H.G. Joiner regarding LHO seeking employment at Lone Star Cadillac; Joiner not interviewed by WC. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/....do?docId=10878 Lone Star Cadillac: 2311 Ross pho # RI2-7221 Steve Thomas

This is just one of those little coincidences. Vic Robertson, a reporter for WFAA testified before the WC. He told them he had seen Jack Ruby about a dozen times. He met Ruby through Murphy Martin who was interested in one of Ruby's strippers (he couldn't remember her name), but that she had previously worked at Lone Star Cadillac. I was reading through Jim Braden's HSCA deposition. On page 57 of his HSCA deposition, Jim Braden says that he was married to Jean DeSanders from the Lone Star Cadillac. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=59 Steve Thomas

Does anyone know anything about this person? On 11/23 or 11/24/63 the Chicago Office of the Secret Service received a call from someone asking if the Chicago Office had any information on a John Heard. According to Mary Ferrell's Chronologies, the office had cards on approximately 100 Heards and arrested a John Heard. In his deposition before the HSCA, July 26, 1978, Jim Braden was asked if he had been in Chicago in October or November, 1963 and whether he knew a Thomas Mosley and if he knew a John Heard. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/...mp;relPageId=41 I know in the past, people have said that Heard was really John Hurt, the person LHO was trying to call in North Carolina, but I'm not so sure.
