Being only 50 yrs young, I was only a toddler in Nov 63...but having spent the majority of my life here in the Dallas metroplex, there are connections all around me. I went to High School with Abraham Zapruder's grandson and have met Mr. Zapruder several times. He was the guy who shot the famous footage of the event. My Father worked with Oswald's brother at the time. He said cops came and got him within a couple hours of the shooting. My Dad has always thought that was strange. I also have a colleague who was driving a truck down the street from where Oswald shot JD Tippet and witnessed the whole thing. I have seen him on several documentaries describing the event. He told me the hardest thing was to watch Oswald walk around his patrol car and deliberately stand over him and shoot him in the head after he had already shot him. He said all he could think about was to put his truck in reverse, duck behind the wheel and go backward as fast as he could. Lastly, my Uncle, who was a wild party-er in his youth knew Ruby from his bar the Carrousel Club and has a couple of pictures of them drinking and playing pool........small world, isn't it???
