RIP Jack Valenti
 

One of the most known figures in the motion picture industry passed away at the age of 85.One thing that might not be known is that Mr. Valenti was in the motorcade in November 1963 when President Kennedy was assaisinated.

RIP Jack......
 

I read a piece awhile back in USA TODAY, that Mr. Valenti had written. About the an experience at the graves of the Normandy Invasion fallen heroes. Long story short it was about instilling respect in our youth toward the soldiers who have payed a price for our freedom. Very well written piece, quite inspirational. I didn't always agree with Mr. Valenti in terms of his politics, or about movies, but you've got to respect anyone who has the guts to get involved, and to lead. Rest in peace Jack Valenti.

"One thing that might not be known is that Mr. Valenti was in the motorcade in November 1963 when President Kennedy was assaisinated."

there he is. it takes a while but you can find anything on the internet

Impressive,small g! So...who shot him?

he told the story on Imus that he flew on Air Force 1, with LBJ as they left dallas.

I t was a while ago that he told the story but i knew he was there in some form.He always stated how impressed he was with the 1st lady.If i do remember Bob Scheefer of CBS news also had some story to tell and it might of been that he had contact with Oswalds wife at one time or actually had her in his car.

I'm not sure who shot him, but I KNOW who didn't;)

Scheefer drove Oswalds mother to the police station in dallas!then was able to stay with her for awhile before the FBI found out who he was and they threw him out.

Scheefer's book "This Just In" is very good. (i think thats the title)

Valenti was in the 7th car with Kenneth O'Donnell.It was discussed this morning on the radio.

Who killed Kennedy?
