Lived in Irving Texas about 1 mile from Lee Harvey Oswalds house (the one where he is holding the rifle). I was 3 months into first grade, 6 years old.
You may not be aware, but the latest data dump from the JFK archives gives Oswald an air-tight alibi.
There are witnesses who gave their information to the Warren Commission but it was not included in the report.
Here is what happened:
—Oswald was on the second floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building taking a break from work.
—He walked into the break room to buy a soda and realized he did not have the correct change.
—He walked to the nearest adjacent office and saw a lady co-worker that he knew and asked her for change for a dollar.
—The lady got her purse, opened up her change purse and started handing coins to Oswald
—”Bang” “Bang” “Bang”
—Oswald and other workers in the office stared outside trying to figure out what the noise was.
—Oswald took the change and walked back to the break room and bought a soda
—He was sitting in the break room drinking his soda when a policeman entered the building, walked up to the second floor and saw Oswald there.
I remember my mother crying and talking with other neighborhood women who were all upset.
