Marie Tippit and Gary Mack

[Dawn Meredith]

Got a message from JFK researcher Frank Caplett last night that at a gathering for Marie Tippit, Joe McBride asked to speak with her. He was told to ask another officer first. He asked that officer and before the officer could reply Frank saw GM shaking his head "no". Then the officer told Joe that Marie was too busy to speak with him.
Frank reports that GM then just stared at him.
Gary Mack- one of the keepers of the big lie. Not sure if Joe saw the exchange.

Wow. Just wow. Blatant.

I get emails from Gary Mack all the time, attempting to sway me over to the Dark Side. He gets quite pissy when I make fun of him.

[Joseph McBride]

Dawn, that's not entirely correct. What happened was that after the panel discussion at the Sixth Floor Museum
with Marie Tippit and her children Brenda and Curtis (moderated by Hugh Aynesworth),
there was a reception. The attendees were invited to mingle with the members of the Tippit family.
Mrs. Tippit was speaking with some people. I went over and waited my turn and then spoke
with her. She was very gracious. I identified myself and the title of my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE:
MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT and thanked her for making
public appearances to discuss her husband. I said I was visiting from California for the event and asked if I could interview her while
I was in Dallas today (Friday). She said she had an interview this morning. I asked
whether she could see me in the afternoon. She said to check with the officer, Senior
Corporal Roderick D. Janich Jr., who is curator of the Dallas Police Department Museum and was there in uniform. I did, we exchanged cards, and
he said Mrs. Tippit was busy Friday afternoon and couldn't do an interview then. He said to write him an email explaining what I wanted to talk with Mrs. Tippit about, and he would see if an interview could be arranged if what I wanted to discuss was acceptable. Frank Caplett, who attended with me, was standing
nearby and then told me about the signals Gary Mack had made to the officer, out of my view, while we were speaking. Frank's
email message discusses my meetings with Mrs. Tippit and the officer accurately.

From your description Mack could not know what you were talking about and was giving you the no.


Why is there a go-between buffer of cops and WR apologists in the first place?

Got to wonder too why Widow Tippet is being "handled" by Mack or by DPD.

Yes indeed. Why?

I don't wonder. Mack's "position" in the lone nut community and the keeper of the 6th floor lie has been clear to me for many years. As for his initial position as a Cter, I don't believe it for a moment.
Joe thanks for the further understanding. I hesitated this morning before posting this knowing I would be in CPS court all day...and of course came home to an email from GM. Sigh...

I exchanged a few letters with Harold Weisberg back in the early 90s, and he told me that Gary Mack was one of the researchers he respected. I don't know if his opinion later changed. But I've never been impressed with him.

[Drew Phipps]

Wiesberg respected and trusted Gerald Posner, too, and look how that turned out.
