H.W. wasn’t in Dallas.
I will find it and send it to you but there is a video from when hw was older and he is laughing and saying he was in Dallas. I have posted it before.
Any other freepers can help me out with this??
Bush and his wife were in Tyler, Texas that day, surrounded by people at the Kiwanis Club and at the beauty parlor.
“Kiwanis former Vice President of the Kiwani’s club, Aubrey Irby, recalled the speech in an interview with a conspiracy author in a book:
“I remember it was a beautiful fall day,” recalled Aubrey Irby, the former Kiwanis vice president. “George had just started to give his speech when Smitty, the head bellhop, tapped me on the shoulder to say that President Kennedy had been shot. I gave the news to the president of the club, Wendell Cherry, and he leaned over to tell George that wires from Dallas confirmed President Kennedy had been assassinated.
“George stopped his speech and told the audience what had happened. ‘In view of the President’s death,’ he said, ‘I consider it inappropriate to continue with a political speech at this time. Thank you very much for your attention.’ Then he sat down.
Finally, George Bush’s wife, Barbara Bush, wrote down the events that unfolded in her memoir before and after the news that Kennedy was shot. She wasn’t at the club speech, but she was in Tyler, Texas that day and both of them boarded a plane to go to Dallas:
I am writing this at the Beauty Parlor, and the radio says that the President has been shot. Oh Texas — my Texas — my God — let’s hope it’s not true. I am sick at heart as we all are. Yes, the story is true and the Governor also. How hateful some people are.
