Oswald's High School

[W. Tracy Parnell]

No doubt a problem Some of this is of course endemic to most questions in JFK research I will add, and this indeed inferential, that the amount of attention and research the FBI placed on Oswald's past including Marguerite, seems odd I understand you can see this as a no win for the FBI, but wow a lot of effort

I don't see it as odd myself. It was believed that LHO had killed the President and the WC were tasked with determining if that was true. To that end, a biography of LHO was necessary and the FBI, as the primary investigative arm for the WC, did most of the work.

So Steve's quote of him at the WC is incorrect?

Hi Matt, you shouldn't take anyone's word for anything (I'm sure Tracy will agree) wherever possible check stuff out for yourself. Below is a link which over the years I've found invaluable. Here, check out for yourself exactly what Julian Evans said;  http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/russ/wit.htm

PS Don't be put off because it's from McAdam's site. The testimony is sound and easily checked. Good luck with your research.

 Thanks Dennis I did recently become aware of it and posted about it yesterday since it was don for a day or so Yes I tremendous resource and the McAdams folks deserve a lot of credit for it

 On another point I have been trying to find a way to find a contact for Jim Hargrove I found two old emails that didn't work Now I have sent a message to Debra Conway at the JFK Lancer Facebook page I am mostly curious about any DNA project

Sorry Matt, I can't help with a contact for Jim, except to suggest you start a thread with the title,  'Contact for Jim Hargrove' it's JFK related so Duncan won't mind and someone here is sure to know. I presume the DNA project you mention would obviously involve Oswald's siblings or children, yes? You have to realise Matt, these good people have been badgered and pestered (and some even accused) for decades. I honestly can't imagine they'd be receptive to a DNA project..but who knows. Good luck.

 I heard back from Jim Hargrove thanks to some help from one of the members here My main question was of course whether there was any effort to get DNA from some of the prodigy involved His advice read the book look at the website Oh well

In other words, no DNA project.

 It seems so I am not drawing any absolute conclusions, but lets say I am disillusioned on several levels


 I am not sure if you have had interaction with him, but I am contemplating a reply.I am weighing my options on whether I will respond and what a response would contain I could imagine from your perspective this is an indication that they don't even believe their own story And indeed that is a possibility Certainly it appears more likely than before
