I have been involved in JFK assassination related activities since the halcyon days of the Cambridge- based Assassination Information Bureau, who, traveled the country speaking out on these issues, hosted the first ever national Politics of Conspiracy Conference at Boston Univeristy for three days in 1975, and then spent two years in Washington DC working with HSCA. In the intervening years what I have sadly noticed is the utter lack of cooperation between people in the research comminity. Today's joint effort with DPF and CTKA hopefully marks a new change in arriving at our mutual goal: justice in the assassination of our 35th president. It is what my friend Jay Harrison worked for the entire time I was proud to call him a dear friend. ( 11/21/97-5/25/05) . Hopefully today he is resting more easily in peace.

Dawn...what prompted Walt Brown to say that Jay Harrison
"hated Jack White."
I never met nor heard of Harrison till after he died. Why did
he hate me?

I certainly cannot speak for Walt Brown, I have only met him on two occasions. A few phone calls and emails. Your name never came up, so I have not a clue. IF Jay did not like someone he did not mince words. But he stayed in the background. Even in Dallas at conferences. He loved putting people together. One of my favorite memories of Jay would be to get in from court and him call and say "I need you to get up here, how fast can you be here?" Nothing more. Then when I 'd arrive he'd have a bunch of others there. This happened many times.
The last time I saw Jay my husband and I went up early one Sunday afternoon. We were there until quite late that evening, sitting at Jay's table talking with Walt, who was very pleasant and had an uncanny memory for JFk trivia. It was a most enjoyable envening under the saddest of circumstances. The only researcher I can recall Walt saying anything negative about that night was Harry Livingstone.
