Eveyln Lincoln

[Marlene Zenker]

I was just thumbing through my new copy of Harvey and Lee: and noticed that the last thing that John Armstrong put in his book was Evelyn Lincoln's letter to a teacher in Virginia who wanted her opinion on JFK and the assassination. As I'm sure everyone her knows she said it was a conspiracy of LBJ, JEH, CIA, the Mafia and the Cubans. She wrote this reply in October 1994. Half jokingly I thought I wonder how long she lived after writing the letter. A Google later I saw that she died in May of 1995. Ok, she was 84 so no biggie. But then I ran across this from the National Archives. They don't always off people sometimes they just discredit them.

She was accused by the archives, the Atty. General, the Kennedy family, etc. of stealing/keeping/selling/giving away JFK memorabilia - so I ask - is this for real?

Evelyn Lincoln was, from the outset, the one Kennedy aide that knew the official story was bogus. She supposedly told Penn Jones that LBJ's people were "really wooping it up" on the way back to Washington that day on Air Force One. It doesn't surprise me that there was an attempt to discredit her. She evidently never towed the party line, and always believed there was a conspiracy.

Thanks Don. I am actually amazed that the National Archives actually has that crap about her in there - nasty. Does anyone know anything else about this?
