After hearing about Lee Harvey Oswald’s coffin being up for action in California, I gave Baumgardner Funeral Home in Fort Worth a call.

I talked with Allen Baumgardner, assistant embalmer to Oswald in 1963. I asked him if he was game for being part of my book. We originally made plans for a photo shoot after the holidays.

I am planning on setting a date this summer.
