The connection proved to be an interesting addition to the JFK assasination to read. Would certainly be something for further study.

Oswald co-worker no longer silent about JFK assassination role
01:56 AM CST on Sunday, November 16, 2008
LEWISVILLE – Buell Frazier wants to tell it like it is – or was – on a very important day in U.S. history 45 years ago in Dallas. The quiet, thoughtful man of 64 is not as well-known as some of the others who skyrocketed to fame or infamy in November 1963. But Mr. Frazier played a defining, if unintentional, role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
He drove Lee Harvey Oswald to work that fateful Nov. 22.
And the Warren Commission, the investigative committee appointed to explain all aspects of Mr. Kennedy's death, claimed that Oswald carried his cheap mail-order rifle to work with him in Mr. Frazier's car.
That put Mr. Frazier in the spotlight immediately after Oswald was captured – and long afterward as a mourning nation sought to find an explanation to the tragedy.
With but a few exceptions, he has kept almost 4 ½ decades of angst, frustration, fear and occasionally even fury bottled up.
All Mr. Frazier did was offer a friendly gesture to a man he hardly knew.
In mid-September 1963, Mr. Frazier, 19, moved to Irving to live with his sister, Linnie Mae Randle, her husband and three children.
He slept on his sister's couch, drove a clunker Chevy and was pleased to be earning $1.25 an hour, then the minimum wage, at the Texas School Book Depository.
As a teenager in Huntsville, Mr. Frazier had deftly ...

Nope, simple physics will tell you that a bullet weighting a few ounces can't move a human head weighting an average of 8 pounds.
It was a natural muscle contraction that move his head and it didn't it him square on either.
Some of the other interesting points surrounding the disappearance include; Boggs was taken to the airport for the first leg of the trip by a young democrat named Bill Clinton who later, as President, appointed Congressman Boggs’ wife, Lindy, to the position of US Ambassador to the Vatican after she served eighteen years in the Congress after her husband’s disappearance.

Thanks, RasterMaster!
Ping to interesting factoids.
No evidence was destroyed in remodeling the limo. The investigators were able to find GRAINS OF LEAD in the limo and it was recorded.
You do know what the weight of a grain is, don’t you?
There isn’t a conspiracy theorist on the planet who can explain how it was done, only by bearing false witness to who.
Let me take an old flash picture of you directly into your face. I want to see you wink.
The coverup on Kennedy assassination continues onward. The real culprits will never be known. Forces at work now are continuing the whitewash. I’m NOT a Kennedy fan but I do believe the real culprits got away scot free with the patsy Oswald’s death.

You’re not interested in how it was done. That’s why you don’t accept Oswald as the killer.
"I know what I saw," he said, "and I've never changed one bit."
In fact he was never that adamant. He was watching from the back and what he said at the time was that he didn't pay very close attention.
It was his impression that Oswald carried it cupped in his hand, but it wasn't a very good observation.
You are citing the conspiracy mythology about this case. Not what anyone alleges actually happened.
The fact that Oswald happened to work there before the trip was planned is really an argument against a conspiracy, not for one.
The motorcade route was published in the paper prior to the day, and Oswald read the paper. That's when he realized he had the opportunity. That's what it was, a crime of opportunity.
The route was not changed. Again, that's just part of the mythology.
Anyway, didn't Oswald take a shot at some General or something at a nearby school some short time before the JKF assassination? I seem to remember this from some long ago reading.

Cannot be an “opportunity” when there are so many factors that had to come into play for a shooting to take place.
The top being removed from the car and security removed at the last minute are biggest clues to a conspiracy...

I read the Posner book and found it very convincing. He goes through the conspiracy theories and demolishes them. Why is it so difficult to believe Oswald was the lone gunman? I’ve been to the grassy knoll and it would be the stupidest place for a second gunman to take a shot. There were dozens of people there who would have seen the gunman and he would have been caught quickly. The Texas school depository was the perfect spot for a sniper.
JFK’s car was moving forward at 20 mph or so. His head naturally went back because the car continued forward and JFK’s neck muscles were flaccid after the bullet entered. He just slumps over to the side after that. If you look at the freeze frame of the kill shot you see pieces of his skull flying forward, because of the shot from behind.
“When you strip away all the nonsense—like bullets making alleged left turns in mid air—it all comes down to this for me: A communist sympathizing loner, Oswald, just happens to be in the Texas School Depository Building on a floor with a commanding view of the kill zone, in Dallas, with a rifle, on the exact same day the Kennedy motorcade went by.”
But Oswald didn’t shoot head on as the limousine is coming towards his window. Very strange he’d take a tougher shot once the limousine turned.
Did he continue on with sharpshooting practice regularly from the time he was trained in the Marines to that day in Dallas?
I'm just tossing out thoughts here. Not having any experience with target shooting or firearms, I may be way off base. Just wondering.
The whole thing is a science and cottage industry; just extraordinary details everywhere.
As someone mentioned above, there was that ex-military officer JohnBircher type if you will that Oswald’s rifle was tracked down to shooting at the general’s house, no one hurt. That guy happened to think there was a conspiracy. His additionally, is interesting testimony on the web if one searches for it directly from the Warren Commission.

Er, now I remember, he was only interviewed by the FBI.
Thanks Meek. Very interesting.
