Patches



The round shoulder patch on this oriental man indicates what outfit he was associated with.


To me it appears the same patch is located on this board just above the man's pointing finger


The patch can also be seen in this photo, to the right and a little lower than the largest patch on the board.

UFO over Dealey Plaza 11/22/63


UFO Over Dealey Plaza - 2:09 PM 11/22/63

Charles Gharis


The Poage Library at Baylor University now has records from a number of important researchers, including Penn Jones, Jack White, John Armstrong and Gary Shaw. Among the records of Gary Shaw is the Charles Charis file.

This is a drawing Gary Shaw made that is based on an original framed sketch found while cleaning out a storage room at the office of Johnson County (Texas) Judge Joe Durham in January, 1991.

Judge Durham called Gary Shaw about it, and Shaw looked into it as best he could.

The caption for the drawing read: "discussing assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy July 1962 Lake Cliff park 12 P.m. Dallas, Texas."

A scan of the original sketch is the first of a number of items that are posted there, including Shaw's FOIA requests for records, an obit of Charles Gharis, a Texas real estate agent, and some
other documents assembled by Shaw.

Five of the six men are identified: Matson, Campbell "Talked," Rowe, Hamm and McKibben. The man in the middle of the three men sitting on the bench is unidentified.

Shaw wrote, "All but one of the men are named! Who is the unnamed man? Is it Oswald...or perhaps Gharis?"

The first page of a Dallas and Fort WOrth Texaco map lists "Your neighborhood Texaco Dealer" as J.K. Hamm Texaco Service, 2627 S. Beckley DALLAS TEXAS and the hand writeen notation: "See original of this in 'MAP' file."

An FBI document notes: WILLIAM R. CAMPBELL, SR. 7701 Hemlock, advised his son WILLIAM R. CAMPBELL, JR. is presently a patient at the Veterans Hospital at Knoxville, Iowa. On November 26, 1963 his son first made mention of an alleged plot against President Kennedy's life which a BOB KENNEDY supposedly told him about on November 21, 1963. His son, CAMPBELL, JR., had previously made no mention of such a plot or any conversation with KENNEDY, and certainly had made no mention of this matter to him on Thursday, November 21, 1963, the day before the assassination.

CAMPBELL, JR. told him on November 26, 1963, that BOB KENNEDY, a member of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee had told him on November 21, 1963, that the President was going to be killed with a rifle and invited CAMPBELL, Jr. to join in the plot.

CAMPBELL, JR. said he told KENNEDY he would not join in any such plot, and in fact would tell the FBI about this conversation; whereupon, CAMPBELL, JR. related KENNEDY threatened to kill him if he revealed the assassination plans to the FBI. CAMPBELL, JR. urged CAMPBELL, SR. to telephone the FBI, but he declined to do so.

CAMPBELL, SR. explained to the interviewing agent that it was his definite opinion that his son was having a delusion since he had been suffering from persecution delusions in recent weeks. His son was severely affected by the assassination and watched mot of the television news broadcasts Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, the 23rd, 24th and 25th.

CAMPBELL, SR. explained that his son was released from the Veterans Hospital at Knoxville, Iowa, last June. He returned to the hospital on the same date he told of the assassination plot allegedly involving BOB Kennedy on November 26, 1963.
