A TRAGIC THING FROM ALL INDICATIONS AT THIS POINT HAS HAPPENED IN THE CITY OF DALLAS. PRESIDENT KENNEDY AND GOVERNOR JOHN COLONY HAVE BEEN CUT DOWN BY ASSASSIN'S BULLETS IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS THE DAY PRESIDENT KENNEDY WAS KILLED. IT'S A MOMENT IN TIME, WHETHER IT'S A MOMENT THAT CHANGED HISTORY. IT'S A MOMENT THAT CHANGED THE WORLD IT WOULD CHANGE MIKE'S WORLD TO TOLD HIM NOT TO GET IN THE OPEN CAR. TRIED TO GET HIM TO RIDE IN A IN A CLOSED CAR. OH, NO, NO, NO, NO. THE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE ME. IT WAS ELECTION YEAR REWARDED WITH A GLIMPSE AND A LOT OF THEM WITH A CLOSE LOOK AND A HANDSHAKE. MIKE WAS PART OF THE ADVANCED TEAMS IN DALLAS THAT RAN BACKGROUND CHECKS ON HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE TWO WEEKS BEFORE PRESIDENT JFK ARRIVED, SOMETHING IRONICALLY, MIKE WAS IN THE FOREGROUND AND BACKGROUND PICTURES WITH MANY POWERFUL PEOPLE. HE WAS WITH THE PRESIDENT THAT MORNING. IT HURTS. THEY LOST THEIR UM PROTECT. SUDDENLY THE MAN WHO'S DONE JUST ABOUT EVERY JOB IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS GIVEN A JOB HE DID NOT WANT FROM NEWLY SWORN PRESIDENT LBJ OVER HERE. ONE OF HIS FIRST ORDERS. THAT WAS IT. AND I WENT TO PROTECT THE FAMILY OF LEE HARVEY OSWALD, THE MAN WHO SHOT JFK, HIS WIFE, MARINA OSWALD AND THEIR TWO CHILDREN. MIKE WAS GONE FOR DAYS. MARTHA WAS A MESS. I'M STILL A MESS. THIS GUY SHOT OUR PRESIDENT. NOW, THEN WE'RE GONNA GO PROTECT HIS FAMILY. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? MARINA OSWALD WAS JUST 22 AT THE TIME IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY HERE AT THE END OF THE SIX FLAGS. SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH THAT WE WERE GOING TO THROW HER INTO A PRISON CAMP. RECOGNIZE ANYONE? THAT'S HIM. HOWARD HAS A PLACE IN HISTORY CAUSE I'M OLD, EVEN BEING OLD DOES NOT ERASE OF FEELING HE'S STILL UNFAIRLY CARRIES. REGRET. IT WAS A PRETTY BAD DAY. FASTER GOD. HOLY. 60 YEARS LATER AND STILL LIVING WITH WHAT IF THINGS WERE DIFFERENT THAT NOVEMBER 22ND DAY COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. WELL WE DIDN'T LAST. TOO SHORT.

THAT MIKE WAS THE BAILIFF DOWN HERE IN THE COURT SYSTEM FOR YEARS, AND, UH, WHEN WE OPENED THE NEW PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING, WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO CONVINCE MIKE TO COME BE OUR MEDIA AND GREETER AT THE FRONT DOOR, AND HE GREETS A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND HE HAS ONE OTHER DISTINCTION THAT WASN'T MENTIONED IN THE NEWS STORY.
