As I recall, my first knowledge about the death of William Bruce Pitzer was aquired by watching the TV series, The Men Who Killed Kennedy, during the '90s. So, I believe it was the Dennis David commentary that indicated WBP's death was a homicide, as presented on the TMWKK broadcast. But, I have to wonder if DD's determined supposition that WBP was left-handed was because of the way WBP dealt cards while playing bridge, or did he mention any other indications? I am right-handed, and very dominatedly so. In my much younger days, I spent some years as a truck driver, and I can't even imagine the difficulty constantly going through those 13 gears if I had been left-handed. Especially considering the short hauls that were basically countywide and into neighboring counties delivering a very perishable product. I have never played bridge, but a very popular pastime among the truck drivers between loads was playing poker. Small pots of course, but a day's pay could be won or lost in a short period of time. But, without even thinking about it, when I was the dealer, without fail I dealt left-handed. Had it not been for the comments from the other players, I might not have noticed it myself. I might add, for me the card dealing being two handed, it was easier to hold the deck with my dominate right hand and deal with the left. But, I seem to believe I had read later accounts about WBP's death that caused considerable doubt that it was a homicide, IMO. Based on what I have now read, it appears to have been suicide, but again, JMO. And, whether an accident, a homicide, or a suicide, I don't see WBP's death having any impact on the murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, but I do wish for justice.
