Terry Mauro Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 (edited) Hello All, I thought I had already introduced myself awhile back, but I seem to keep getting messages from John, reminding me to put up my bio. Anyhow, here it is, and I hope I did it right, this time. My name is Theresa C. Mauro, aka Terry Mauro. I graduated from Los Angeles City College with a A.A. in Radiologic and Nuclear Medicine Technology in 1976. I attended California State University Dominguez Hills in 1994 in an attempt to attain my B.S. in Nuclear Medicine, and left a year and a half later, due to the scheduling conflicts in my work and study loads. I also needed extra monetary income due to my newly acquired "single" status following my divorce in 1995. So much for upgrading my credentials for now, I suppose. But, there's always retirement to look forward to. I've been an ARRT [N]/CNMT/CTNM in Nuclear Medicine Technology since 1976-77. I reside in Culver City, CA USA, where I'm employed at Brotman Medical Center, and Western Imaging Center in Culver City, as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. I have been a student of the assassination of John F. Kennedy from the day it occurred on November 22, 1963, when I was 18 years old. I became an avid student following the Warren Commission findings in June 1964, based on their absurd explanation of ballistic accuracy regarding Lee Harvey Oswald's alleged "guilt, by association", to a weapon of questionable identification (Mauser vs Carcano). I remember the early reports shortly following the shooting. And, although, at the time I hadn't totally equated the term "due process" with a citizen's right to representation in a court of law, I was still cognizant of the fact that this alleged "killer", was being repeatedly denied access to a lawyer by the obvious way in which the law enforcement officers were ignoring his requests, right on national television. This reminded me of what I'd learn to associate with the terms: vigilante tactics, mob rule, and a "kangaroo court". Then came the primitive sketches rendered during the questionable [iMHO] autopsy that had taken place at Bethesda, and distributed to the press, later in June 1964, following the release of the Warren Commission Report. From what I observed there appeared to have been a total disregard for what is known as forensic accountability, vital to investigations such as homicides. Due to the slipshod manner with which crucial evidence was carelessly handled, and in my estimation, damaged and contaminated beyond a reasonable doubt, there appeared to be absolutely no protocol concerning the chain of possession required when handling evidence, especially in a case of this magnitude, an assassination of the President of the United States. This has led me to doubt those government officials who are assigned to protect and secure the interests of their citizens, and their constituency. Especially when the very principles upon which the U.S. Constitution had been erected are so blatantly and publicly ignored. I am thankful to those earlier researchers for putting themselves on the line by questioning the results they found to be contradictory, and apparently false, in the Warren Report. It really drove home the point to the American people, who were just beginning to have doubts in their minds, as to whose vested interests were really being catered to from that moment in history to the present one, today. My other interests include my dear friend Donna's Lippitt Morgan horse farm in Florida, and the study of the Lippitt Morgan horse lineage from the original Justin Morgan horse to his present day heirs. This is an interest I hope to pursue into my retirement, 10 years from now, when I plan to relocate to Georgia, and my own 10 acre piece of farmland. Well, I hope this is a sufficient enough bio for you, John. Warmest regards, Terry Edited October 22, 2004 by Terry Mauro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanet Clark Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 (edited) John Simkin and the Ed Forum: As you know, my approaches to History includes strategic, cultural and climatic geography... In this I follow the annales school of Marc Bloch and Fernand Braudel. Textual and critical post-modern approaches have discouraged the study of history's structural and strategic underpinnings, but the new digital capacities and continuing interest in cartography and geographic factors can make a difference in history. When I address the OAH or the state historical conferences, My historical map lectures are very well received and my strategic geographic reasons for cultural and political events always stimulates debate. Finally I notice a number of USA universities want to teach DIgital GEographic Systems, but need to bring in British Geographers because of shortfalls in staffing pool of american geography Ph.D.'s Did You Know That/ many British geographers are finding work in the growing geography departments in the states. The technology is driving the field as it diversifies from its strategic/mineral roots and climatology/weather training roots. For example at Georgia State the Geography Department is the Anthropology/geograph department....state schools do better than the private universities..some private universities have no geography departments....shocking.

David A. Bodner Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi - I'm Dave Bodner and I live in the heart of New York State - nowhere near the Big Apple, Baghdad On The Hudson, Sin(cerity) City, New York City - whatever you want to call that big place down there keeping the Statue of Liberty company. I've been looking through the other intros, at least 5 pages so far!, and it seem us yanks are way under-represented here. Count me in as from the Blue States of America. In another 5 years we may decide to rejoin the good 'ole USA ;-) My biography has other details, including a (useable) picture. My interest in this board is primarily the JFK assassination topic, although John (Simkin) is encouraging me to get in on the science discussions also. I'm doing volunteer work at Sciencenter, which is a science museum in Ithaca, NY. Besides that in Ithaca there's also Cornell (sort of the JPL of the east) and a rather interesting cemetary where 2 of the giants of the nuclear age are buried within 50 meters of each other. Leo Szilard originated the famous "Einstein Letter" which got FDR interested in making us the first nuclear power. Szilard later regretted his involvement and tried in limited ways to restrain the nuclear genie. Close by is buried Carl Sagan - who more than anyone else helped bring the nuclear monster under some kind of control. Actually, only half of Szilard's cremains are in Lakeview Cemetary. The rest of him is in his home town, Budapest. Where else could you get such trivia? As an American who sat through that awful day in 1963 I may be able to bring some local color to bear if there really aren't many US nationals here. How about it, John? Do you have a breakdown by location of members that you could share? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Martell Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hello my name is Justin Martell I am here to learn more about the assassination of John F Kennedy. I am 29 years old and have been interested in the case since I saw the movie JFK when I was a teenager. I really became hooked when I read the book Coincidence or Conspiracy by Bernard Fensterwald about 6 years ago. I have since read a number of books on the assassination: Heritage Of Stone, High Treason, The Last Investigation, The Man Who Knew Too Much, parts of Oswald and the CIA and Best Evidence. I have also visited numerous websites, this one being by far the best. I am from Sacramento California, during the week I am a bricklayer and on the Friday and Saturday nights I am a drug and alcohol counselor so I don't have much time to research but I learn more and more every day that I visit this great forum.
