Dallas hospital room where JFK died now stored in Kansas
Odd move closes artifacts to public, may add to mystery

A piece of JFK assassination history now lies buried in the most unlikely of places: a former limestone quarry in Kansas.
It is the end – at least for now – in the long and sometimes strange journey of Parkland Memorial Hospital Trauma Room No. 1, where President John F. Kennedy died on Nov. 22, 1963.
The entire room was purchased by the federal government 35 years ago, when Parkland officials decided to modernize their emergency facilities.

Re:
So the room was still used for 15 years after JFK. I doubt it was preserved in pristine condition. Odd. 2008 - 35 = 1973, so only ten year of use after the fact, but still in the really, really odd category!

***Have any miracles been ascribed to JFK?
No? Then why are items that were in the room where he died being treated like class II relics?***
My reaction, too.

Visited the grassy knoll a few weekends ago. It was sorta creepy.

If you think a blood spray in the Zapuder film indicates death then you are not familiar with bullets wounds and trauma. One can have huge chunks of skull blown off and survive.
In JFK’s case the bullet’s path was fatal but he was indeed alive (pulse, blood pressure, neuro activity) when he reached Parkland.

"he was indeed alive"
He was alive in the "he was still breathing sense" but once that bullet entered his brain, he ceased to be John F. Kennedy. It just took a little while for the body to catch up with what the bullet had done.

So I guesss by your definition everybody over 75 is dead because of the degeneration that has already taken place and most will not live for another decade.

Yep, ya got me that is exactly what I mean. Wow you are spot on with your indepth analysis.
Amazing you drew ALL of that out of what I said. You are amazing you should go on talk radio and give advice like Dr. Phil!
Outstanding work there stud. Perhaps I will run everything I post here of FR past you first so you can parse out what I am REALLY saying...

Miracles? You haven’t heard about the dead voters rising in Illinois?

I think I’ll take a pickax and wheelbarrow, go chop out some asphalt from the street in front of the old Texas Book Depository, and sell it on Ebay. That street has been paved over several times since the assasination.
It's almost as if they wanted to cover something up.....hmmmmmmm.....

Though I just said it was 9mm (oops). I thought you were suggesting the mystery gunman on the grassy knoll shot him with a 9mm.

St. Kennedy’s shrine must be preserved. At least until jihadists use it as a bunker like they did the Church of the Nativity.

I can’t get into the Dallas Morning News to read the rest of the article so, as a Kansans, will someone tell me where in Kansas? I’m guessing the salt mines in Salina, next to Einstein’s brain and Quantrill’s skull.

I was thanking you for applying common sense to the suggestion JFK died at the hospital. It was certainly a compliment and not a sarcasm.

So that’s why they all voted for McCain.
