source?

he was in the photo of lbj being sworn in after the assasination but i never knew he was in the motorcade.

now is not the time so i'll leave my opinions of the mpaa aside and just say he had quite an impact on what all of us see at the movies. an interesting influential man.

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.

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)
