I was in the sixth grade. My school class, and many others, where in the downtown Kansas City Municipal Stadium watching the three ring Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus perform when the show stops and the Ring Master announced the shooting.

There's something ironic about that...

I was 13 in the 8th grade at Southside Jr. High in St. Petersburg, Florida. I had just finished PE and had taken a shower when the coach came in the locker room and gave us the news. There was non-stop coverage on TV all week sort of like after 9/11 and I was captive to watching everything. I remember my dad took a break from watching and left to go hit golf balls. Soon after I saw Jack Ruby shoot Oswald live on TV, then I left on my bike to find him to tell him the news.

A few years later I was in the Army and was in Korea and had a lot of free time so whenever the bookmobile would come around I would checkout a book on the Kennedy Assassination. I remember one called 'Rush to Judgement' by Mark Lane. It had a lot of those facts that make you think there was a conspiracy. I believe now that Oswald was the only shooter but I'm not sure if he acted alone.

I believe when Oswald was in New Orleans just a short time earlier he was handing out pamphlets for a group called 'Fair Play for Cuba'. The address of the organization was a known CIA operative site, well at least in Mark Lane's book it was. Also I always found it strange that Officer Tippet would stop Oswald clear across town with a description that would fit a 1/3 of the male population. I also remember that Officer Tippet was suppose to be a regular at Jack Ruby's Carousel Lounge. I always had the feeling Tippet was to take out Oswald, and when he didn't, Ruby took him out. Of course, that steers the arguments towards the Mafia and not the CIA.
