I actually asked her while at a company event. She told me “He never speaks about it. I guess that’ll do it to you when you’re holding the President’s brains in your hands”.
This was 30yrs ago when we worked together. I’ve always wondered the affect this had on him. I never met the man, but aside from the literal shock of holding another human’s brains in your hands, (I mean this wasn’t just the President of the US, it was JFK and everything that went along with it)...I’m guessing it had a profound impact on his life. Apparently he was interviewed by Stone, himself, for the movie.
The story I’ve always told myself was that there was SO much unknown going on that he kept quiet about it for many reasons...
1) respectively for the Kennedy Family
2) respect for his Country
3) and maybe/probably fear for his own life and that of his own Family
I always think of him when I hear PJ’s “Brain of J” .
The whole thing just fascinates me. Hell, the whole reason I pulled up this thread was because I was channel surfing and stopped on a NatGeo special “JFK’s Last Hours” or something to that affect. It was good. Lots of footage I’d never seen. Did you know that on Saturday morning, 11/22/63 JFK attended a breakfast in downtown FtW and the Texas Boys choir sang. I think the doc said they began their performance with “The Eyes of Texas”. I found that quite ironic...
