Garrison – Mr. Holga https://mrholga.com walkabout street and portrait photographer Wed, 18 May 2011 18:37:35 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 49179826 Kansas City to Chicago to Columbus to New Orleans Round Trip https://mrholga.com/2011/05/kansas-city-to-chicago-to-columbus-to-new-orleans-round-trip/ Wed, 18 May 2011 18:37:35 +0000 http://www.mrholga.com/?p=125 I am planning a short hop around our great country to get some of the outlying people who are important to the Kennedy assassination story. The most notable are Walter Cronkite in Kansas City, Jack Ruby in Chicago, Air Force One in Dayton and Jim Garrison in New Orleans.

If you don’t know, Kennedy’s Air Force One, is on display at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, OH.

Here’s the trip in a nut shell.

Kansas City, MI

  • Walter Cronkite, CBS News anchor

Chicago, IL

  • Jack Ruby, shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of the Dallas Police Headquarters
  • Karyn Kupcinet, actress who was rumored killed for her silence after the Kennedy assassination
  • Richard J. Daley, mayor of Chicago

Columbus (Dayton), OH

  • Air Force One at the National Museum of the US Air Force
  • John Glenn*, Mercury Astronaut and U.S. Senator (alive)

New Orleans, LA

  • Jim Garrison, Prosecutor
  • Clay Shaw, prosecuted for Kennedy assassination
  • Robert E. Lee Oswald, Lee Harvey Oswald’s father
  • David Ferrie, accused of being a co-conspirator to the Kennedy assassination
  • Jim Featherston, Dallas reporter who worked with photographer Robert Jackson
  • Guy Banister, former government operative accused of being a crony of Lee Harvey Oswald

This in no way is a plug for Southwest Airlines, but I will be taking Southwest for this trip. All their flights meet my needs and times. And in case anything happens, Southwest is the most flexible for fee-free changes.

Now if I could only get them to sponsor my book, Death By Holga: 11.22.63.

* Okay, I realize that getting Astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn to pose for a few Holga picture is a long shot. But if you’re going to dream, dream big. It would be fantastic if Mr. Glenn met me at the National Museum of the US Air Force for a roll of film.
