    A quick story about the time I saw JFK…
    It was October, 1962, in Albuquerque. I was 7 years old and my uncle takes me downtown to watch Kennedy go by in a big black limousine. After waiting for an hour, here comes the President, in a black convertible limousine, sitting on top of the back seat, so he could get a good look at the crowd and the crowd could get a good look at him. Lots of applause and good will were in the air. As the car approached, I put one foot into the street; I wanted to run up to the car and shake the President’s hand. Before I could get my other foot in the street a Secret Service man interposed himself between me and the President and his right hand was under his coat, reaching for a weapon. He saw I was no threat and backed off, telling me to ‘get back on the sidewalk’. Kennedy saw what was happening, looked me in the eyes, pointed at me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. Then, he was gone. I looked around and saw that several other Secret Service men were busy visually sweeping the crowd, the buildings and the rooftops. When JFK was assassinated 13 months later, I remembered what I saw in October, 1962 and I wondered what happened to his protection on Nov. 22, 1963. I knew something was not right then and I’ve been questioning official narratives ever since.
