Charles Altman (COM’67) of Frisco, Tex., writes, “I was interviewed by the curator of the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, in Dallas, and, as a result, am now part of the JFK Assassination Oral History Project. This came about as a consequence of my acquaintance with Bernard Weissman during my Army days in Munich in the early 60s. Weissman, although in the military, espoused strong political views, primarily anti-Kennedy. His goal, along with a cadre of others, was to invite others to join him in Dallas as part of an anti-JFK, pro-Goldwater polemic. Invited to join… I assessed these views to be extreme and declined. Weissman and his fellow conspirators subsequently authored a full-page diatribe against Kennedy that appeared in a Dallas newspaper the morning of the assassination. The museum had no prior input about Weissman and invited me to share my knowledge of his views in an interview that is now included among the many recordings in the collection.”
