“Oh holy one,” help our passion speak to all who listen. Help us always fight
for truth with justice by our side. Purify our cause this day “oh Lord,” to share
the best of our generation with those we will finally leave to carry this spirit
forward. Allow us to go forward, fearless and without compromise, knowing
“thy truth” with understanding. Return our spirit of youth and innocence,
that in it’s acquisition we may hold steadfast to the cause of peace, with
liberty and justice as “thy” sword of truth...Let us leave here and not forget
this tragedy, but instead ignite the eternal flame for all who loved “this one
and future king”…those who have come that are young and vibrant can
carry this torch to a new generation. We can create John Kennedy’s dream
of peace with each kind word that is spoken, along with an opened mind that
shares his vision and our hope.

IN MEMORIAM - JIM OLIVIER 1951-2008
Jim Olivier, a retired broadcaster and well-known singer
and businessman, died Sunday morning April 13th, 2008
in Lafayette, Louisiana. Olivier was 57.
Jim, a Louisiana-based television journalist, has been
researching the assassination for more than 30 years. He
has produced and hosted television and radio interviews
with many well known researchers and authors such
as Jim Garrison, David Lifton, Mark Lane, Mary Ferrell,
Robert Mayheu, Joe West, David Belin, Jack Anderson,
John Davis, John Newman, Dr. Charles Crenshaw, Penn
Jones, Jr., and a host of Dealey Plaza eyewitnesses. His
primary focus in the Kennedy assassination has been
events in New Orleans and the Garrison investigation.
Jim Olivier spoke at several November in Dallas
Conferences, presenting interviews with individuals not
formerly on record which confirm the presence of Lee Oswald in Clinton, La. with Clay Shaw and David Ferrie,
as well as information confirming the pre-assassination remarks of Rose Cherimie as to a conspiracy to kill the
President.
In addition to being a frequent NID speaker, Jim was the long time Master of Ceremonies of the JFK Lancer
Novemnber in Dallas Awards Banquets. With his quick wit and friendly manner, Jim entertained the conference
attendees while keeping the program moving forward. Most JFK Lancer members are familiar with the smooth voice
and easy smile of this gentle man, but may not be aware he was also a well known radio and television host.
For 25 years, Olivier hosted Passe Partout, an early-morning news and music program held weekdays on
KLFY-TV10. The former country music DJ at KXKW promoted Cajun music and zydeco and reported news and
weather in his native Cajun French. He also hosted the Meet Your Neighbor show each weekday at noon. In 1980,
Olivier began a music recording career with Swallow Records of Ville Platte. Olivier’s first 45-rpm single, Brasse le
couche-couche, began an immediate hit. His follow-up hits included If You’ll Give Me Another Chance, Comme
Un Cadien (Just Like A Cajun), I Love My Saturday Night, Good Hearted Man and La Marriage a Pic et Poc. He
eventually released five albums during his music career. Last year, Swallow Records released 20 of Olivier’s songs
on an Essential Collection CD. The disc contained a new song, Nothing New, Same Old Thing, a blues tune done in
French.
In 1995, Olivier left the Passe Partout morning show. Three years later, he partnered with his wife Anna to
start Jim Olivier’s Home Improvement Co., a Lafayette-based business specializing in insulated vinyl siding and
windows.
Jim Olivier was an outstanding reseacher, but more importantly, he was a friend... and we shall miss him
dearly. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to his family and loved ones.

Ed Hoffman
Virgil Edward Hoffman was the older of two
sons born to Frederick and Polly Hoffman in 1936. At
birth Ed had normal hearing, but after turning four years
old he contracted an unknown illness that produced a
high fever. The fever caused extensive auditory nerve
damage in both ears, causing a complete loss of hearing.
When his parents were informed that their son was deaf,
they learned sign language to communicate with him.
Leaving work on November 22, 1963 Hoffman took the
Elm Street exit out of Dealey Plaza and merged onto
Stemmons freeway. Realizing the Presidential motorcade
would be coming soon, Hoffman parked his car on the
side of Stemmons Freeway and waited. From his vantage
point, Ed had an unobstructed view of the area to the
east, including the parking area behind the wooden
fence in Dealey Plaza, which included the railroad
yard, the west side of the Texas School Book Depository,
and the parking lot on the west side of the depository.
He observed men in the parking area behind the fence
acting most suspiciously -- with a weapon.

“The Torch is Passed”
Music by Joey Granati
Lyrics by Joey Granati/ Sherry Fiester
(Verse)
He was a “once in a lifetime”; so many hopes and dreams awakened with him.
He had charisma and such a bright mind, a beacon we thought would never dim.
But his brilliant flame, much too soon was snuffed out by vicious and cold hearted souls.
A great future was denied, our nation cried, and our innocence was lost—along with his goals.
(Chorus)
His spirit and vision was our hope and our light, his words still ring out and feed our passion for right.
His strength and conviction keep us seeking his dream, yet a new dream is born—that truth will reign supreme.
Both dreams are still alive; his legend will not end. The torch has been passed to light the fire once again.
For truth and justice we’ll see, then he’ll rest in peace.
(Verse)
We were lucky to have known him. He had the gift to make you know that he cared.
He was one for the ages, a profile in courage whose elegance and grace were revered.
By the hand of God he came and changed our day, a man we loved who was ahead of his time.
By the hand of man, he was taken away, but his dream and his light will forever shine.
(Chorus)
His spirit and vision remain our hope and our light, his words still ring out and feed our passion for right.
His strength and conviction keep alive his legacy, his dream we carry on for freedom and equality.
He was here a brief moment, but the memories last; his eternal flame is the torch that we pass.
For truth and justice is our quest, and then in peace he’ll rest.
Here’s to the Knight of Camelot, who stood for truth, for freedom, peace, service and equality.
His dream will ever last, the torch is passed, his light will shine for eternity.
He made us look at things we hadn’t before: the good, the bad, the real, and he made a change.
His work won’t be denied, his torch is held high and the frontier he discovered won’t die in vain.
Truth and justice for this great mind who inspired us in a magical moment in time.
A man of peace, he instilled in us that we are here to serve mankind.
Let’s look at what he’s done, and protect his history and live the dream of his words
That challenged us individually—”Ask not what your country can do for you...
Ask what you can do for your country...”
Shine...His light will forever shine...
Shine...His light will forever shine...
Shine...His light will forever shine...
Shine...The Torch will forever shine...

PHOTO EXHIBIT • WHERE WERE YOU?
November 22, 1997 – 2007, Photographs of Dealey Plaza
by Rick Barton and Patricia D. Richards
November 22, 1963 is a date seared in the memory of all those who were alive at that time, especially in America. The events
of that day changed the way we thought about one another, our government, law enforcement, civility, and truth. It brought
the horrors of death to our doorsteps and ushered in television as a primary source of breaking news. Photographers and
journalists gathered to tell the unfolding stories of a country in shock and grief, and a city in chaos. Dallas became known as
the place where President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Controversy began immediately: Who heard what when?
Did anyone see a gun? Where was it? How many people had weapons? Where did the shots come from? Five people are
believed to have seen a gun sticking out of the window on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. None of those
five had cameras ready to record what they thought they were seeing. Others were sure they heard shots coming from behind
the grassy knoll. Still others thought they saw many things no one has ever proven. The great American mystery—Who Shot
the President?—had begun.
Starting in 1997, Rick Barton and Patricia D. Richards began photographing the events at Dealey Plaza on the anniversary of
the President’s assassination, November 22. We wanted to see for ourselves if people were still interested in that date and to
record photographically what we saw there. 34 years had passed since the assassination when we began our documentary.
On that day the crowds gathered slowly. We were told to stick around that a cousin of the Kennedy’s was going to say a few
words, that the “Babushka Woman” was going to sing the Star Spangled Banner, that the actor who played JFK in Oliver Stone’s
movie was coming, etc. We learned that Dealey Plaza was a place very much engaged with the events of November 22, 1963.
In the ensuing years we learned that people are drawn to a place because of what happened there, that compassion is still a
driving force in the lives of many, that controversy and mystery reign supreme, and that we could indeed bear witness to it all
photographically.

I WAS CASTRO’S PRISONER
by John Martino
Prior to his death in 1975, John Martino became the “Someone
Who Talked.” from the Prologue by Edward Martino
“I Was Castro’s Prisoner” is historically significant book that in
1963 was a media sensation in conservative political circles.
Martino’s attention was focused on his exile companions and the
elimination of Fidel Castro—any related political consequences
would have been of little concern. Martino’s attitude, aims and
commitments grew from his “I Was Castro’s Prisoner” experience.
You will not find the details of what Martino did in 1963 in “I Was
Castro’s Prisoner”—what you will find, is the reason why Martino
acted as he did. from the Foreword by Larry Hancock

SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TALKED
The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy
and the Conspiracy to Mislead History
By Larry Hancock
If they had privileged information concerning the most infamous murder

exchange, or perhaps with a boastful remark about their personal knowledge
of a conspiracy in the murder of a President.
… And someone did.

JIM GARRISON: HIS LIFE AND
TIMES,
THE EARLY YEARS
by Joan Mellen
A biography of the former District Attorney of Orleans Parish,
Louisiana from his 1922 birth in Iowa and service in World War
II - to his years confronting the corrupt politics of Louisiana.
Contains new information on the assassination of President
Kennedy and Lee Oswald.
UPDATED!
New Information in Foreword on
the debrief of Lee Oswald.
JFK Lancer First Edition 2007
ISBN Number 978-0-9774657-2-9
Over 300 pages
Perfect bound 6”x9”
http://www.joanmellen.com
Garrison’s life story includes the landmark case of Garrison v.
Louisiana, which extended the free speech protection of New
York Times v. Sullivan (1964), and the Dombrowski case, where
three New Orleans civil rights activists were arrested for bringing
Communist ideas to the movement for racial equality led by Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim Garrison emerges as a defender of the
victims of racial inequality, and of censorship. His actions reveal
him to be a supporter of the defendant, and a fierce proponent of the
rights of the individual. It also reveals him to have been, in many
ways, a man of his generation.
This volume takes us to the moment in 1966 when Jim Garrison
began to investigate the Kennedy assassination.
Biographer Joan Mellen met New Orleans District Attorney Jim
Garrison in 1969. His relentless search for the truth about what
happened to President Kennedy made a deep impression upon her.
In 1997, Mellen started to work on the story of Garrison’s life. This
biography turned into the story of Garrison’s investigation and then
into a new investigation of the assassination itself in her recent book,
A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK’s Assassination, and the
Case That Should Have Changed History.
$22.50
The Mary Ferrell Foundation is devoted
to carrying on the legacy of Mary Ferrell,
whose integrity and fierce dedication to
truth is an inspiration to many.

BEYOND THE FENCE LINE:
THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF ED HOFFMAN
AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY
By Casey J. Quinlan & Brian K. Edwards
Foreword by Jim Marrs
On November 22, 1963, President
John Kennedy was murdered in front of
hundreds of people in Dealey Plaza. Ed
Hoffman saw the man who fired the fatal
shot that killed the President — and it was
not Lee Harvey Oswald. His eyewitness
account destroys the government’s version
of a lone gunman shooting from the Texas
School Book Depository
Ed Hoffman is a most important eyewitness
in the murder of President Kennedy. He
should have been embraced for coming
forward but instead was crucified by the
electronic and print media. He is the
only witness who can “speak” to the
fundamental events of November 22,
1963. The conspirators were hoping that
no one would see the activity behind the
picket fence, but someone did. The irony
is that the only eyewitness to their activity
that afternoon has a hearing disability.

Tribute by David Lifton
While in Trauma Room 1, Aubrey
Rike found himself at the center
of an unequaled time in history
as he assumed the impromptu
undertaking of providing assistance
to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy
and President Kennedy. Aubrey
shares heartbreaking moments in
time that became forever ingrained
in his memory, one that came as
an opportunity to offer kindness
and caring to a slain President and
his grieving widow. Now, he has
opened that door of memory and
