Thanks, Tracy. I appreciated the opportunity
to do this episode on J. D. Tippit for Len Osanic's informative and valuable series
50 REASONS FOR 50 YEARS.
As I mention in my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE (p. 268),
"One of the key, previously unexplored research sources I
found was Tippit's father, Edgar Lee Tippit, whom
I interviewed at his modest home in rural Clarksville
[Texas] in December 1992, when the elder Tippit was a vigorous ninety years old
(he lived until 2006, at age one hundred and four). . . . Edgar Lee told me he
had never been interviewed before ([Dale K.] Myers wrote in
one of the footnotes in his 702-page book [WITH MALICE: LEE
HARVEY OSWALD AND THE MURDER OF OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT, 1998],
published while Edgar Lee was still living, 'Little is known about
Tippit's parents, Edgar Lee and Lizzie Mae Tippit'). Edgar Lee
and I had a wide-ranging interview for several hours."
