About Me

No need to call me doctor (it was the only domain left). I'm associate professor of New Testament at Knox Theological Seminary and Assistant Pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I've been married for twenty-four years to Cindy, with whom I have two children, Charity and Josiah. Photo of Sam Lamerson

Hello from the Grassy Knoll

Posted on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 at 3:56 pm

Yes, I have made it to one of the places that I wanted to see before I died.  The infamous site of the shooting of JFK.  I have some pictures.  This first one is me standing in the road which has an X on the spot where the shot first hit President Kennedy.

The next is standing on the X looking up at the school book depository from where the shots were fired.

Next is Jim Dietz, my fellow conspirator at Knox and roommate here in Dallas, and myself standing on the “grassy knoll.”

Last is the fence behind which the gentleman whom you may not be able to see in the picture, is telling me that the fatal shot came from, finally killing the president.

It was a very interesting time.  I’ll tell you all about it later, but for now, I can mark another thing off my list.  Now if I can just get to a snake-handling service maybe I can mark off two in one trip.
