Passages

Ed Hoffman, Kennedy Assassination Witness. March 24, 2010

Ed graduated from Austin School for the Deaf in Austin. He married the love of his life Rosie Mae. Ed worked for Texas Instruments in Richardson for 35 years.

Hoffman had parked his car and was standing on the roadside when the presidential limousine came by. From his elevated position, Ed had an unobstructed view of the area to the east, which included the railroad yard, the Texas School Book Depository, and the parking lot on the west side of the depository. He was able to see the entire length of the triple underpass and the people standing on it.

Hoffman, first written about by investigative reporter and author Jim Marrs in his book “Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy” (1989) wrote even with his disabilities he has proven to be a most convincing witness. Brian Edwards and Casey Quinlan, longtime JFK assassination researchers and friends of Ed were determined to get Ed’s experiences in print. The authors met Hoffman in 1989 after reading about his experiences in the Marrs book, and arranged to interview him at his family floral business in Grand Prairie, Texas. In 1999, the Hoffman family donated their entire JFK assassination collection to Quinlan and Edwards, and with those materials and their own years of research, decided to write Ed Hoffman’s story. An earlier paper “Eyewitness” (1997) by Hoffman and his pastor Ron Friedrich was published by JFK Lancer and was well received by the research community but limited in scope.) Conway then encouraged Quinlan and Edwards in their quest to see the Hoffman story presented in full resulting in the publication, “Behind The Fenceline.”

Ed, along with his wife Rosie, have attended many JFK assassination conferences for adults and for students. He will be missed.

Aubrey Lee Rike, Parkland Hospital Witness, Soldier, Police Officer. May 22, 2010

Aubrey Rike, was born in 1937 in Dallas, Texas. He joined the US Marine Corps in 1955 at 17 years of age. Once discharged in 1959, and back home in Dallas, Aubrey was employed as a driver for the Ambulance Service Company. He married Glenda in 1960, and in 1965 their son Larry was born. In 1961 Aubrey went to work for the O’Neal Funeral Home & Ambulance Service. While employed with O’Neal’s, Aubrey was at Parkland Memorial Hospital when President Kennedy was brought in after being shot by an assassin. Aubrey was the attendant who placed the President’s body into the casket while in Trauma Room 1. Aubrey has led a colorful life, including driving race cars, and performing as a rodeo clown. In 1967, Aubrey joined the Highland Park Police Department and dedicated his life to public service as a police officer. He gained experience both as a police officer and fire fighter while serving with the Highland Park Police Department for 26 years. Upon retirement, Aubrey went to work for the Dallas

County Sheriff’s Department. In total, he devoted thirty-five years of his life to the law enforcement profession.

Aubrey was a “man’s man” with a gentle soul, one that gave our First Lady comfort as she spent her final moments with her husband at Parkland Hospital that dark day long ago. Aubrey was the one that helped Mrs. Kennedy put her ring on President Kennedy’s finger, as she was determined to do.

Aubrey was a frequent guest and speaker at JFK Lancer conference for adults and students, interviewed numerous times and quoted in many publications including “Best Evidence” by David Lifton.

Robert Chapman

Robert Chapman, JFK Researcher, Restaurant owner and Artist. May 30, 2010

Robert Chapman was a close friend and research partner for the late Mary Ferrell. Robert would tell wonderful stories about his time with Mary, especially how when in 1977 they were sitting at a table in her home going over stacks of documents when Robert found one from the CIA that was about a French assassin, Jean Soutre, who had been arrested in Dallas by the FBI and deported the same day. He slid the paper across the table to Mary saying, “You might find this interesting.”

His quick eye for details was a great talent, one he put to use in the JFK research community where he was speaker and host at the Lancer “November In Dallas” conferences. One of his proudest moments was in 1997 when he introduced Kennedy family member Kerry McCarthy to our Banquet audience saying, “We have with us tonight, as a special guest speaker, a very distinguished individual from a very distinguished family. Kerry McCarthy is the first member of the Kennedy family to come forward to an event of this nature: to embrace our aims, our goals, our efforts and to endorse the research and the effort that we are all doing on behalf of the memory of a member of her family.” Kerry thanked Robert by answering, “And if that means I have embraced the research community, what the heck has taken the Kennedy’s so long to do it?”

His interest in the JFK assassination research never waned, and his relationship with Mrs. Ferrell and other researchers continued as well. Chapman attended all of the ASK conferences, as well as the JFK Lancer conferences working with and assisting Mrs. Ferrell. He also spoke at many of the conferences, or assisted the organizers in some official capacity.

Chapman was married to the former Jamie Goree, and they have one daughter, Amanda. He wrote fiction and was a inveterate reader of not only JFK material, but of many subjects far afield from that. Robert owned and ran “Molly’s” restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee until his passing and it is still in the family.

Robert oversaw new research being offered, particularly regarding document releases by the ARRB in his tenure as Editor of “Assassination Chronicles” published by JFK Lancer and shared his finds liberally. He also spent years with writers helping with their research, offering his knowledge and encouraging their writing. Robert was a crucial negotiator in the purchase of Mary Ferrell’s collection by businessman Ollie Curme and oversaw the creation of millions of pages of JFK assassination documents now online as the Mary Ferrell Foundation. In 1997, Robert was awarded the JFK Lancer “New Frontier” Award, which is “In appreciation for your contribution of new evidence and furthering the study of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”

...a similar idea or pattern to a series of events. All of these incidents are related. There is a common thread to all this.

“The Rights of Man”-- the civil and economic rights essential to the human dignity of all men--are indeed our goal and our first principles. This is a Platform on which I can run with enthusiasm and conviction.

But I believe the times demand new invention, innovation, imagination, decision. I am asking each of you to be pioneers on that New Frontier. My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age--to all who respond to the Scriptural call: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.”

James DiEugenio has written two books on the Kennedy assassination. “Destiny Betrayed” (1992) was the first positive reconsideration of the Jim Garrison investigation in a generation. “The Assassinations” (2003, co-edited with Lisa Pease) analyzed the murders of RFK, MLK, and Malcolm X, but devoted most its pages to the newly released ARRB documents in the JFK case. He and Lisa also edited the journal “Probe” (1993-2000) which focused on the releases of the ARRB and new developments in the King and RFK cases. Jim has an MA in Contemporary American History from California State University Northridge. He was asked by Oliver Stone to do a commentary track on the expanded DVD version of his film “JFK.”TOPIC: Kennedy Assassination Research and Criticism

G. Paul Chambers - Drawing on his fifteen years experience as an experimental physicist for the US Navy, Chambers demonstrates that the commonly accepted view of the assassination is fundamentally flawed from a scientific perspective.

Someone Would Have Talked: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the Conspiracy to Mislead History by Larry Hancock

Someone Would Have Talked goes beyond proving a conspiracy to murder JFK. Over 14.000 documents, White House diaries, telephone logs, and executive tape recordings detail how the new President managed a cover-up that changed the future of our country.

A second conspiracy designed to mislead the nation, the world, indeed, history.

New material in almost every chapter, new documents, new names, new leads!

Major Points:

The initial investigation of President Kennedy’s assassination was hamstrung by a consistent pattern • of damage control and evidence management. Actions personally orchestrated by President Johnson prevented a true open-ended criminal investigation of leads suggesting conspiracy in the murder.

A body of investigative documents (FBI, CIA, NSA, HSCA, and ARRB) exist which reveal pre-assassination leaks • suggesting that President Kennedy was at risk prior to the assassination; these leaks can be traced to Miami Florida and tied to a common network of individuals shown to have been associating with each other in 1963.

Informant reports and private research shows that Lee Oswald was in contact with, and influenced by, this • same network of individuals he initially came into contact with in New Orleans during August of 1963.

These individuals, including two high ranking CIA officers and one highly placed member of organized crime, can be • shown to have been associated with one another and connected with the CIA’s JM/WAVE operations in Miami in 1963.

Cuban Exile John Martino, the common thread in the book, provided limited details about a conspiracy against • President Kennedy to a reporter who had covered his return to Miami after years of suffering in a Cuban prison. With a wealth of new information only now available, Martino’s remarks have become increasingly credible and provide unique insights into the conspiracy.

The thousands of primary source materials he uses paint a disturbing and compelling picture of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This is a significant contribution to our nation’s historiography. Dr. Thomas L. Pearcy, Former Joint Historian U.S. Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency Washington, D.C.

Once again Hancock opens doors that the CIA and FBI would prefer stay closed. By probing newly-released documents and bringing fresh witnesses to the fore, Hancock’s tireless research conclusively proves there is still plenty we don’t know about the perpetration and cover-up of the Kennedy assassination.

I WAS CASTRO’S PRISONERby John Martino

Prior to his death in 1975, John Martino became the “Someone Who Talked.” from the Prologue by Edward Martino

“I Was Castro’s Prisoner” is historically significant book that in 1963 was a media sensation in conservative political circles. Martino’s attention was focused on his exile companions and the elimination of Fidel Castro—any related political consequences would have been of little concern. Martino’s attitude, aims and commitments grew from his “I Was Castro’s Prisoner” experience. You will not find the details of what Martino did in 1963 in “I Was Castro’s Prisoner”—what you will find, is the reason why Martino acted as he did. from the Foreword by Larry Hancock

BEYOND THE FENCE LINE: THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF ED HOFFMAN AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY

By Casey J. Quinlan & Brian K. EdwardsForeword by Jim Marrs

Ed Hoffman is a most important eyewitness in the murder of President Kennedy. He should have been embraced for coming forward but instead was crucified by the electronic and print media. He is the only witness who can “speak” to the fundamental events of November 22, 1963. The conspirators were hoping that no one would see the activity behind the

picket fence, but someone did. The irony is that the only eyewitness to their activity that afternoon has a hearing disability.

The Door of Memory: Aubrey Rike and the Assassination of President Kennedy

by Aubrey Rike with Colin McSween

Tribute by David Lifton

While in Trauma Room 1, Aubrey Rike found himself at the center of an unequaled time in history as he assumed the impromptu undertaking of providing assistance to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and President Kennedy. Aubrey shares heartbreaking

moments in time that became forever ingrained in his memory, one that came as an opportunity to offer kindness and caring to a slain President and his grieving widow. Now, he has opened that door of memory and asked us to step through.

Special NID Price $22

But I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high--to permit the customary passions of political debate. We are not here to curse the

darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future. As Winston Churchill said on taking office some twenty years ago: if we open a quarrel between the present and the past, we shall be in danger of losing the future. Today our concern must be with that future. For the world is changing. The old era is ending. The old ways will not do.John F.
