I worked 2nd shift at Love Field, so watched the JFK shooting, etc., on TV an hour or so before going to work. All flights in and out were canceled. While walking into the building, I noticed men with automatic weapons on the roof of the terminal and concourses.
AF1 was parked only about 200 feet away from the large window of my office that looked out on the tarmac and runways. No one was permitted outside. From the window, I watched the coffin being loaded aboard and Jackie and others entering the plane. Shortly afterward, Judge Sarah T. Hughes boarded and that’s where she gave the oath of office to LBJ. AF1 took off a few minutes later. ....It was a long night, due to the delayed and canceled flights!
I’ve never believed the Warren Report; too many inconsistencies (like the pristine bullet found on the gurney, that supposedly had gone through JFK and Connaly but was not marred in any way). I’ve never thought Oswald was the only shooter. ....I’ve always suspected that LBJ played a role in the asassination. He was a dirty bastard.
That’s quite a story. I was in 2nd when it happened so I have no first hand experience - but - I personally knew dozens of people at Parkland who were there. For example I know that Arlen Specter made a special trip back to Dallas to re-interview Dr. McClelland with the express purpose of getting him to change his testimony. I don’t think too many people know that. Specter was a staff member for the Warren commission at that time.
Another weird factoid. One night I found myself at a party at Clint Murchison’s mansion on Forest Ave. - the very place that supposedly LBJ, Hoover and others had their rendezvous the night before the assassination and LBJ supposedly said there to his mistress - those bastards won’t bother us again after tomorrow.
