"When the Army refused and the members of Congress replied with form letters, Lawson contacted retired Col. David Hackworth, a syndicated columnist, who helped the family get in touch with Mary Mapes, a producer for CBS's 60 Minutes II, which broke the story."

SOME OF THE THOUSANDS of notes written by visitors to Dealey Plaza after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 have been stored in the Dallas Public Library. A few of the authors recall what prompted them to write.
DALLAS - Grief, respect and curiosity began beckoning them here almost before the shots stopped echoing off the brick and asphalt and the grassy slopes that Friday at the noon hour. They came to the suddenly infamous little downtown Dallas park to see it for themselves, this place where their president had been ripped away and everything had changed in one terrible instant.
In the days after Nov. 22, 1963 - lasting through the summer of '64 - Dealey Plaza was transformed into a roadside shrine, as mourners carpeted both sides of Elm Street with flowers, scribblings and tributes to John F. Kennedy.
Perhaps the most momentous event on American soil during the American Century slides deeper into history now. A defining moment of time and place for all who recall it has moved to a different place in the nation's living memory.
Those who were young are now approaching middle age, and the middle-aged have grown old.
After 35 years, the pilgrimages continue. From every corner of the nation and globe, people come to honor a fallen leader, to remember the hopes and fears of another age and to brush up against what for many is an unsolvable mystery.
Although the decades have muted America's anguish, it's still evident in writings composed when the sorrow and dismay were fresh.
