50 Years Ago Today
50 years ago I remember watching people being interviewed on TV right after the Kennedy assassination. Two people standing in front of grassy knoll stated that they heard 2 shots come from behind them. I never once have seen the interviews of those 2 people again.

I was wondering if there was going to be a post about this today.

The flags went from half-mast to full-mast on my birthday.
I remember seeing some History Channel or Science Channel special about five years ago where people took modern scientific abilities to look at the evidence and, with some serious photo-enhancing work you could see someone dressed as a police officer with that distinctive hat standing behind the fence on the grassy knoll holding a gun. Now, supposedly, someone who has kept quiet all these years is telling a similar story.
As for me, I didn't need all of that to realize that the kill shot came from the FRONT and not the rear. When a bullet hits someone there's usually a small opening on the way in and a much larger opening on the way out. Unless the gun is pressed against the skin, there's little chance of material blowing back towards the shot yet we've all seen JFK's head snap back and watched Jackie crawling towards the back of the vehicle trying to grab a piece of his skull.
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I was 6 at the time. Obviously, I was too young to fully comprehend what had happened. Out of the whole thing, the one image that seared into my young brain was the carriage with the casket and the reversed boots.

It was still, my birthday. We were let out of school in Brazil, in the city of Araraquara in the state of Sao Paolo. The following week some small kid weaved his way around a whole bunch of soccer players and he scored 3 times. His name was Pele! They were playing a team called Botafogo in Araraquara!

I must have read a hundred books about it and know alot more about Kennedy now but what happened that fateful day is still a mystery. Even the most seemingly obvious things are disputed now: http://assassinationscience.com/johncostella/jfk/intro/wound.html I hope they make a new movie about it - it's a period of time I find very interesting. Kevin Costner was pretty good in that first one. The music was pretty stirring too! Kennedy was killed Nov22 and Oswald Nov24.

Rua de Italia 1437 Hahaha ... the Google picture shows it as a Pizzaria now. It was a rather nice and big 2 story house, with all the bedrooms upstairs, and downstairs all the library (40+k books of Portuguese. Brazilian and Spanish Literature) and dad's office and dining room and kitchen. On the gate on the left of the building as you look at it from the south side, is a gate to the backyard, small but went around the whole house, and that where the shower was for all of us. Never had a hot bath that I can remember in Brazil at all! I had fun digging this up, and on the huge book mom put together for dad (well known writer in Portuguese Literature) there are pictures of that house, and the one that we lived in when we were in Assis prior to moving to Araraquara, right after my dad got the PHD that awarded him a lot of literary accolades.
