My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

[Dawn Meredith]

Tom: I agree about Ed Hoffman. We saw him and his pastor who translated for him in DP back in the mid 90's. I found him to be very sincere and genuine.
Ya, I remember my response to when Reagan was shot. I was at school (law school). I could not decide whether to watch tv or go to class. I opted for class.
I think the kids ho loved JFK could sense in him his love of peace and the people he governed. I know I did. His humor at his press conferences. I have not seen anything like him since.
Jimmy Cater has become a great ex president. But with "Jack" the idealism he projected was uncanny. IN 08 when JFK's daughter dared compare him to Obama I felt so sad for her.
Not even close. A total phony. Did you know at the start it was conspiracy? I did. They just knew too much about LHO too damn fast and were too certain. I smelled a rat that first day.
Then seeing LHO shot on tv cinched it.
Hard to believe it's been nearly fifty years. I still remember most of that day in all too vivid detail.
