MY PERSONAL TAKE ON THE JFK ASSASSINATION

   I've had several people recently ask me as to what are my personal views are on the JFK Assassination.  It's been a long time since the events of November 22, 1963.  Time tends to blur events in one's mind, and of course, there are many of you who only know of these events by reading about them.  I actually watched them play out "live", transfixed and glued in front of our television for three days during that terribly tragic weekend over fifty years ago.  Yes- time does cause a loss of focus on our memories, but even though I was only a kid at the time, it seems almost like yesterday when my Mom came by my elementary school to pick me up, and told me that the President had been shot.  And although I have grown up as an adult, and experienced many more events over the course of my life, those next three days remain a permanent memory etched into the recesses of my mind.

WHAT I BELIEVE HAPPENED IN DALLAS
   It is true that probably no one really  K N O W S (except those that may have been involved in perpetrating this event) what happened in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

My JFK Page

  © 2014 GuiTarHeel

    This will be a page of memories, recollections, experiences... and also thoughts and opinions on JFK and his assassination.  I was only eight (8) years old when this terribly tragic event occurred.  It devastated me and millions of others throughout our nation and our world.  Over the years, many people have forgotten what happened that day in Dallas, many have also stopped caring about those events and the impact that they had on our world as we know it.  There are many more who, because they were not alive at the time, simply are not aware of the important significance that these events have had on their lives.  This page seeks to keep the memory of that historic event alive, and focus on why and how it has changed our lives forever.

JFK Reading

   I am picking up a few JFK books and reading or re-reading them this summer.  

  These books will include :

• "Conspiracy" by Anthony Summers (1980), [recently updated as "Not in Your Lifetime" (2013)], 640 pages

• "Best Evidence" by David S. Lifton (1981), 920 pages

• "Rush to Judgment" by Mark Lane (1966), 478 pages

• "Crossfire: The Plot that Killed Kennedy" by Jim Marrs (1989), 656 pages

   They will also include these pro-Warren Report books.  While I do not agree with the Warren Report's conclusions and findings, I also believe it is important to research both sides of an issue, and so therefore, I am going to attempt to read these two books.

• "Case Closed" by Gerald Posner (1993), 640 pages

• "Reclaiming History" by Vincent Bugliosi (2007), 1,632 pages [this will be quite a feat considering the vast volume of this book].

   I'm going to take a stab at reading all of this material this summer, but if I were to actually read every page, it would be over 5,000 pages, so not so sure about whether I'll be able to successfully complete this project that quickly, but at least I'll make a start.

   The reading of some of these books will no likely spurn some creative juices and thought processes, so don't be surprised if a lot of new posts start springing up regarding this topic.   Thanks for your interest and patronage of my website.
