- The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza presented a conversation with retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, Major William F. Lee, in conjunction with the special exhibit, “Mourning a President.” As a Marine lieutenant stationed in Washington, D.C., in 1963, Lee commanded the Silent Drill Platoon and led numerous ceremonies at the White House and Camp David during the Kennedy years. After the assassination, he led "Death Watch" rotations at the White House and in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. The program was moderated by Curator Stephen Fagin.
This presentation took place at the Museum on November 29, 2017.

Riveting interview, he knows how to let his subject talk.
These series are interesting. . So we have records.. I saw what was on tv. I had a life magazine put up. Not sure if I had a Warren Report. To leave family.
If you get these news reports please offer them to a good public library or city or county museum !! Do not toss away these paper records so important
If you had family near Dallas offer your papers to Kaufman co library in Kaufman Texas or your home town
