John Simkin Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Some researchers might be interested in the following email: My parents went to Arlington Heights High School in the late 50's. Bobby and Billy Hale knew Lee Harvey Oswald as did most of the students at AHHS because he made sure everyone knew who he was and what he believed in. I asked dad if he ever remembered if the Hale brothers would've had a run in with him. Dad described an incident where Oswald wanted to join the football team and was turned down. He really made an ass out of himself on the field at practice in front of the team. The Hale boys were there. Kathleen was friends with my mom. She was a shy girl and was very much in love with Bobby Hale. But...all the kids in mom and dads crowd knew that John Connelly would never accept their relationship as this didn't benefit him socially or politically. So...they did what most teens did at that time...get pregnant and sneak to Oklahoma and get married. They did and then ran to Florida due to their parents finding out. John did not know that she was pregnant. Now...this is what happened according to the kids back home who were "in the know". I B Hale found them using his contacts then Connelly and Hale flew into Florida and Connelly confronted Kathleen alone and informed her that if she didn't come back with him and annul the marriage never to see or speak to Bobby again that she would be disowned...she would have no family...no money...no chance at a life and that Bobby's father was in agreement. They would be destitute. Bobby was out looking for her as their neighbor told him that she ran out of their apartment after two men had stopped by. Bobby had suspected what had happened and was frantic. When he came home...the apt door was open...he heard her in the bedroom...walked in the door just as she pulled the trigger. Bobby was never the same. He became angry and very antisocial.... He went off the deep end and never came up for air. Everyone was devastated by the needless loss. The spin doctors went in to full time damage control so that only their close classmates knew the truth of what really happened. Now...you know too.

Oswald attended AHHS as a sophomore from September to October 1956. The Hale brothers were 18 year-old seniors in Spring 1958. Assuming they went to AHHS--which would not come as a surprise since they lived in Ft. Worth and the school had a very good reputation back then--they would have been juniors in October 1956--which puts them one year ahead of Oswald. While the school is a large one, it is not a giant one. It has 74 classrooms, and had 1500 students in 1996, as a 4 year school. My high school, by comparison, had over 3,000 students in 1979, as a three year school. If the school was a 4 year school in 1956, as I presume, with about 1500 students, there would be about 375 students per grade. If Oswald was as outgoing abut his interest in communism and plans to join the Marines as indicated elsewhere, well, then, it seems quite possible the Hales knew all about him in 1956, and would have followed his subsequent "defection" with great interest. When one considers the Hales' strange appearance at Judy Campbell's house a few years later, one is forced to consider that they might be up to their necks in intrigues never fully explained. Did they help set up Oswald? Good question. Edited May 4, 2012 by Pat Speer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, he attended for three weeks and 2 days, and only in September, 1956. During that brief period, he was in the 10th grade. DSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Speer Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Exactly, David. He was a sophomore and the Hale brothers were juniors. If he tried out for football, as claimed by John's source, they would almost certainly have known him. I mean, I went to a school of 3,000, and tried out for basketball. I knew by sight and name every kid trying out for basketball--from the Varsity team all the way down to the C team. And I suspect they coud do the same. So...in your research, did you come across anything to indicate Oswald had an interest in football? Edited May 4, 2012 by Pat Speer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sampson Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 In response to the above posts, I have performed my own research into the matter of Robert and William Hale being class mates of Lee Oswald. I recently had the opportunity to look at a 1957 yearbook from Arlington Heights High School (Yellow Jackets). Page 52 is the beginning of the Sophomore Class. Bobby and Billy Hale’s pictures and names are on page 55. I know there is an age discrepancy between Lee Oswald and the Hale boys, but this yearbook is a pretty good indication, that they were all sophomores. I would post photo copies of the yearbook pages, but this would violate copyright laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Clark Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) "Citing unreleased FBI documents, Hersh writes that Bobby joined his twin brother, Billy, in breaking into the Los Angeles apartment of Judith Exner, a woman who later acknowledged having an affair with Kennedy. An FBI agent observed the break-in on Aug. 7, 1962, but made no attempt to arrest the Hale boys, according to Hersh." Marylin Monroe would die, in Los Angeles, 2 days later. Robert Hale died in an Anchorage, Alaska jail in May of 2008. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2003/09/28/a-bulldozer-runs-through-it/a93f7e3a-eb8f-424e-a6f5-75adc3dcb39d/?utm_term=.9499a1640e33 Edited February 5, 2017 by Michael Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Brancato Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Yes, welcome Barry. Are you saying that Oswald appeared in the same yearbook as a sophomore, along with the Hale brothers?

Paul Brancato Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Michael - The article you posted suggests that IB Hale, the dad, who was chairman of General Dynamics, was behind the break-in of Exner's pad by his sons because he was trying (successfully according to Hersh) to blackmail RFK into helping GD get a defense contract. This would appear to have nothing to do with Monroe's death two days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An FBI agent observed the break-in on Aug. 7, 1962, but made no attempt to arrest the Hale boys, according to Hersh. In the book, Hersh speculates that the break-in was part of a successful attempt by the Hales' father, I.B., then chief of security at General Dynamics, to blackmail Kennedy into giving the company a major defense contract." Paul, The article says "Kennedy". I presume that to mean JFK. It's an attempt to dig dirt on JFK, not RFK, assuming it did happen. I'm not averse to drawing attention to unbelievably uncanny circumstances like this. If I were presenting serious research, I would present it as such. Another uncanny circumstance.... Fred Korth, Secretery of the Navy following John Connally, having been previously been CEO of Bell Aerospace, resigned.... "... as Secretary of the Navy. In 1969 he was elected to the board of OKC Corporation in Dallas. Later that year Fred Korth's daughter Verita Korth, supposedly killed herself with a 20 gauge shotgun." http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKkorth.htm Edited February 6, 2017 by Michael Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
