Explaining why he was not asked to appear at universities, for lectures back in the 70’s, Penn Jones said:
“I go too far to be on any college campus.. I say who did it. I’d be delighted to be proven wrong, but it’s too goddamn late to be still winkin and saying ‘ ah well we don’t know .’ If I’m wrong, fine, then make an ass out of me. But somebody’s got to get off their ass and go to work on this and do it. And nobody’s done that. That’s the reason I don’t get on campuses. The colleges get too much federal money to have a little sumabitch like me on campus saying this is ike Germany in 1934, and 1935.”
That's a good one by Penn, never saw it before! He's one of the early ones to have caught-on quite clearly! The Germany 34/35 is great. So was he. I believe I have the honor of having been the sponsor of his last public speech. I had gotten permission to have a parade on the motorcade route in DP - followed by speeches at a set-up PA system just near the GK. Penn I'd not contacted, but was roaming around and came up and very humbly asked if he might say a few words. I was so pleased and honored and, of course, he spoke. He was quite old and frail, but his voice rose to loud and clear. Sadly, I don't have a tape of it, but hear one exists out 'there' somewhere. His speech, I remember, was mostly a warning about what would happen to America if we did not bring the case to some resolution and take the guilty to task.
