A few weeks before Kennedy was shot, my dad took me to the pistol range atop the old Crescent City Garage in downtown New Orleans. I recall standing at that counter with my dad, waiting for the fellow to score my target all "official-like".
There was quite a group of "regulars" hanging around and talking guns and politics. Heck, Oswald's fingerprints were probably still fresh on the glass top of the ammo counter. You'd think that someone in there might've gotten a bit careless and mentioned something about the Kennedy "hit", but nuthin', nada, zip, zilch. Not even the casual "...can you believe the idiot is going to try to use that raggedy Carcano?..."
Well, maybe the memo didn't go out to "all hands".
I'm sure it didn't. But I was referring to all the supposed groups, organizations and individuals in those cities who were in on the planning or at least had second-hand knowledge of the plot and mentioned in the multitude of theories over the years.
Someday someone's going to start hawking Official JFK Scorecards. Won't be able to tell the players (actors) without one. ;>
To Great grandma: Yes.
Re: Files. Agrees with the Giancana book, "Double Cross," written by a 'family' member which alludes to the mob's involvement.
