He was killed while I was in-utero, so I have an alibi, but after watching PBS' "The American Experience" program on Lee Harvey Oswald, it shows how troubling that period in history really was. It was odd watching the films of the Warren Commission, and seeing a young, fit and spry(?) version of Gerald Ford. The details, conclusions, intrinsic holes in the case and the fact that over two-thirds of Americans thinks it's a scam makes it even more confusing and troubling.
I think that might be my "One Question" I'm asking the Big Guy when it's all said and done: So what's the real skinny with JFK? Important stuff.
Well, I'd also ask about the whole UFO/Roswell thing, and Bigfoot, maybe about Atlantis, that wild Tunguska Fireball, what happened to Noah's Ark, and what was Springsteen thinking when he left his first wife? And does putting a little bit of salt in the water really make it boil faster? What about warm water having more oxygen, and freezing faster?
But mainly about JFK.
And the UFOs.
OK, and what killed the dinosaurs. Spontaneous combustion kind of gives me the willies, also...and Nostradamus is pretty weird...
(About the photos. The only time I can connect Vintage Campers with the JFK Assassination. From the AMAZING Charles Dickenson Collection, we have a rarely-seen picture of JFK exiting an Airstream. The trailer was apparently a makeshift Hospital at an unnamed Military Base. Probably shooting Jack up with some back dope, so he could stand up straight, like in the photo. I don't have a date on it, but I'm pretty sure it was from before Nov. 22, 1963. The photo almost snuck by me the first time, and then I saw the next photo - stark and white with a light scribble - and took note. The bottom photo shows the back of the original, courtesy the (ta-da!) RV and MH Museum in Indiana. Thanks to both for a cool piece of history RARELY IF EVER SEEN ELSEWHERE!)

Apparently George Bush Senior was in Dallas at the time of the assassination. Have you heard that? That's interesting.
How do you read JFK's character? What did he contribute to America?
The irony that JFK may have had more of an effect on the current world economy and even the current War in Iraq is amazing! Yes, JFK secretly supported the bloody Iraqi coup that got none other than Saddam Hussein involved as a henchman. Possibly gave him a real taste for blood, even!
I think JFK was a master politician who contributed much more than just "hope." I think he showed many attributes are needed to be President. His economic policies are a standard today for many Conservatives, even! Wait, look where that got us.
His "contributions" do require a closer look, indeed. From the Moonshot to the Peace Corps, there's a lot there.
GW1 was in Dallas, also? With Gerald Ford? Where was Cheney? Haha! Hmmm, the plot thickens...
