Who was in town at the time:
Future president LBJ
Future president Richard Nixon
Future president George HW Bush
Unsuccessful presidentail candidate John Connaly.
Also nearby, Marcello and Trafficante associate Jack Ruby.
Ah, well. Veterans Day is coming up, and let’s remember Marine trained riflemen like Lee Oswald and, less than three years later, Charles Whitman.
I don’t think LBJ would have batted an eye at murder. The cold blooded sucker insisted Jackie stand beside him while he took the Oath of Office.
Nixon departed about an hour before Kenedy touched down I believe. Don’t know about the others but I believe GHW Bush was in Tyler, 90 miles away.
Future president Richard Nixon
Future president George HW Bush
Unsuccessful presidentail candidate John Connaly.
And a couple of assassins from France.
