    11/22/63

    November 22,'63 was five days before my 16th birthday. The thing followed me for a while after that. In 1969, I transferred from Texas Tech to the University of Texas at Arlington. I had a foreign language requirement and the Latin I took at Tech wasn't available at UTA, so I decided to take Russian. My instructor was George DeMohrenshildt who I found out was rather deeply implicated in the assassination. He told us he was a professional geologist and just taught Russian at UTA and French at Bishop College in Dallas "for the hell of it". <IMG SRC="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKdemohrenschildt2.jpg" It was all very fascinating.

  5. Tractors, forklifts and garbage trucks have the little beepers in reverse. Why not install one of those? Or better yet, have some sort of diode and loud speakers that sound like a 440 hemi with glass packs. That would give your Prius some personality.

    I skipped school that day to go to Dallas and see the president, so I know exactly where I was that day. I was close enough to Dealy Plaza to hear the shots and hear all the screaming. As my friends and I were going home to Ft. Worth, I remember the sporadic reports on the radio mingled with music. Then the song "Surfin' Bird" was interrupted to announce his death at around 1 in the afternoon. That entire day is so very vivid in my memory. I never skipped school again after that.

    RumRunner

    Dooj... I can't even imagine what you're going through right now. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about Rummy. All I can say is damn it hurts...the loss of one so caring and intelligent. My heart goes out to you and all our prayers continue.

  13. I bought a web domain through godaddy.com to facilitate my photo stuff...promotion and maybe to show proofs to clients. So far, all I've been able to do with it is to stare blankly at my monitor. I know how to write a little html and have done some <A HREF="http://webspace.webring.com/people/du/um_4338/">free sites on the old geocities</A>, but this ain't geocities. If anyone might have a little extra time on their hands and could help out, PM me. This whole concept of "going digital" has it's upsides, but it sure has it's downsides...and sliding down the learning curve can be a bumpy ride.
  14. Happy Birthday to you! May it be wonderful!
  15. Hey Zix!! Glad you're back and I hope all goes well with you from now on.

  17. Hi James, I just wanted to mention that the Arkansas Democrat Gazette article you posted refers, by name, to a certain leader, Monty H. who, as far as I know is still "in". I knew him quite well at the time...well, a little earlier than that when he was Asst. LC. I once asked a leader (not the one mentioned in the article, but his predecessor) about what I perceived as an underlying anti holocaust tone in the ministry which I'd never noticed until LCM became grand poobah. He explained that since there were no longer any actual Jews (they all were killed by Romans at Masada), all those people who Hitler thought were Jews, weren't really Jews as the real Jews were long since replaced by Eastern Europeans so since all those people killed weren't actually Jews, only pretend Jews, there was no actual holocaust. TWI logic was a thing of epic wonder.
