But as this '50th Anniversary' year has lurched inexorably toward November I've felt increasingly isolated (-I'm the only assassination researcher in my small circle of friends) and assailed by the one-sided (Lone Nut) media --which ought to be at full-roar come next month. And I realized I just couldn't endure it alone.
So I want to thank you all for being here and for allowing me to join you. The simple act of adding my name to DPF's membership roster somewhat ameliorated the shrill disinterest ("It WAS fifty years ago! Give it a rest already!") I've encountered this year from a few otherwise intelligent and reasonable people.
Hello Connie and a most hearty welcome to DPF.
I think we have all experienced that feeling of isolation regarding these issues
and having a "home" to share does indeed reduce that feeling of isolation.
I have been a student of the JFK assassination since day one and over these many decades have wondered countless
times why it is that most just don't seem to care. I alienate long time friends fairly regularily with articles and /or posts from DPF.
I will look forward to hearing more from you.
