H.P. Albarelli has passed away.

[Magda Hassan]

As co-author with H.P. Albarelli, Jr. for his forthcoming book, "Coup in
Dallas: Who Killed JFK and Why," I have the right and responsibility to
provide the following statement. In late April of this year, Hank
submitted the preliminary manuscript to Skyhorse Publishing with the
understanding that the final two percent which involved polishing certain
chapters, the bibliography, and finetuning footnotes would be sent them on
June 1, 2019, for the announced publishing date of November 19, 2019. He
decided to take a brief and much needed break and made one of his infamous
cross-country drives with Buddy, his faithful four-legged to Texas and New
Mexico where we continued a chapter by chapter analysis and created a list
of detail that might have fallen thru the crack. In mid-May, Hank returned
to his home with the plan to spend 20-25 hours on the manuscript before
submitting the final version to the publisher. Sadly - an inadequate
expression to capture this loss he fell gravely ill. He had watched the
final episode of "Game of Thrones," and around midnight texted, "All over
it is. Last episode. Nite." In the early dawn hours of May 20 his beloved
wife Kathleen rushed him to ER. He died June 18, 2019. Hank left me with
a copy of the detail we identified during his trip along with firm
directives as to how he anticipated this book will be published and
defined. He was fully content with Skyhorse Publishing and expressed on
numerous occasions, I really like working with these guys.' Along with
co-author Alan Kent and the editor, we will put closure on the book to the
high standard Hank set for investigative journalism. It's all good, my
dearest friend Hank Albarelli. Leslie Sharp, Santa Fe, July 2, 2019.
