\nThe JFK assassination was riddled with numerous bizarre coincidences — some of which include the mob. I have a few of my own.<\/p>\n

In 1963\u2014in one of her life\u2019s many \u201cwhat-could-possibly-go-wrong\u201d impulsive decisions — my (relatively young, recently divorced) mother eloped (again) and married a Las Vegas security guard. Naturally, she barely knew him. This resulted in my young sister and me being transplanted from Minnesota to an apartment building a block off of The Vegas Strip — next to the Riviera Casino and below the unfinished (Space Needle-like) Landmark Casino tower. And the move also resulted in the start of a wild roller coaster ride, described in my memoir, Searching For Alpha Centauri In A ’64 Chevy<\/a>. But, back to the JFK assassination coincidences…<\/p>\n

Next-door to us lived a mobster. How shocking in 1963 Las Vegas, right?<\/p>\n

Two months before Dallas, JFK coincidentally visited Las Vegas. The photo above shows him in his open limousine with the Landmark Inn tower and our apartment building in the background.<\/p>\n

60 years ago today, on November 22, coincidentally my mother’s birthday, JFK was assassinated in this same open limousine in Dallas. Two days later, JFK’s alleged-assassin was assassinated. And three hours after that, the FBI was knocking on the door of our Las Vegas neighbor, Lewis J. McWillie. Apparently, he was a longtime acquiescence of JFK alleged-assassin’s assassin, Jack Ruby.<\/p>\n

AND, McWillie’s name and Las Vegas address (our<\/em> apartment building address) was on a piece of paper found in Jack Ruby’s car (after Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald in the Dallas police station).<\/p>\n

This is in the Warren Report.<\/p>\n

Unrelated in any of this, earlier in 1963, Jack Ruby actually sent a pistol to our apartment building address (but McWillie never accepted it). This is in the Warren Report too.<\/p>\n

In the 1950s, my mother and father lived in Cuba. Coincidentally, so did Lewis J. McWillie. And guess who, coincidentally, visited McWillie in Cuba? Of course, JFK’s alleged-assassin’s assassin, Jack Ruby.<\/p>\n

I am not suggesting that my mother or father or even our Las Vegas neighbor, McWillie, had anything to do with JFK’s assassination. But these are kind of freaky coincidences, no?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
