NINE Secret Service agents drank the morning of the assassination
NINE Secret Service agents drank the morning of the assassination
#NEVERFORGET ...that NINE Secret Service agents drank the morning of the assassination: CLINT HILL (above), Jack "NOT" Ready, Paul Landis (who stayed out until 5 AM!!!), Glenn Bennett, Don Lawton, Ernest Olsson, Richard Johnsen (the magic bullet keeper), David Grant (co-advance agent of the Dallas trip and HILL'S BROTHER IN LAW!) and Andy Berger (who later drove the hearse containing JFK's body from Parkland). Hill was all "boo hoo" circa 1975 but he is "living his best" life these days; he's "LIT"! He has a very young co-author girlfriend, he is raking in mad money on his three books and a movie deal is in the works. Drinking alcohol was a violation of agency regulations and grounds for removal from the Service + sleep deprivation (these men had to report for work at 8 am!!). These men were not punished in any way whatsoever (keep in mind, 1963/1964 were the Pre-Watergate and pre-Vietnam War super naive days). Hill even won a MEDAL for 11/22/63! Geez...

Secret Service agent Ernest "Ernie" Olsson, Jr.- passed away 7/1/2019 + Secret Service agent Larry Newman- passed away 12/21/2017
Secret Service agent Ernest "Ernie" Olsson, Jr.- passed away 7/1/2019 + Secret Service agent Larry Newman- passed away 12/21/2017
Secret Service agent Ernest "Ernie" Olsson, Jr.- passed away 7/1/2019
I spoke to Olsson briefly- he said he didn't talk about those days. The only thing he confirmed was that he did speak to the HSCA.
He grew up in Ames and graduated from Ames High School in 1950. Following graduation he continued his education at Drake University obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in 1955.
Ernest met the love of his life Beverly May Scheuermann in 1951 and the couple was married in Ames, on June 15, 1952. The couple then lived in California, Arizona and Missouri and settled in Virginia where they raised their four children.
Ernest was a Veteran, serving in the United States Air Force from 1955 until 1958. Upon returning from active duty, Ernest continued to serve his country working for the United States Secret Service where he protected Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson, retiring in 1981.
Secret Service agent Larry Newman- passed away 12/21/2017
I spoke to Newman at length a couple times in 2004 and he was a valuable source of information. He was one of the four agents who spoke to Seymour Hersh for The Dark Side of Camelot.
After college, Larry completed basic training in the Air Force Reserves and was honorably discharged so that he could join the Washington State Department of Game. In 1960 he was appointed as an agent with the U.S. Secret Service. He served several prominent figures over the course of his 23-year career including service on the White House detail in Washington D.C. during the Kennedy administration, during which time he met his wife, Susan. Larry also worked with presidents Ford and Carter
BOSTON, MA - AUGUST 7: President John F. Kennedy, center, leaves Children's Hospital in Boston after visiting his son on Aug. 7, 1963. His third son, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, was born in Falmouth, Mass., on Aug. 7, 1963, five and a half weeks early. The baby was rushed to Children s Hospital in Boston shortly after for a treatment of a respiratory ailment. President Kennedy is staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel to be able to be near his son, the first child in 65 years to be born to a sitting president. The baby died on Aug. 9, 1963.

Secret Service agent Charles T. "Chuck" Zboril 1936-2019
Secret Service agent Charles T. "Chuck" Zboril 1936-2019

One can sometimes not realize the ramifications of something written years ago and literally under their own nose until the right context comes about. Well, the context came last night in the form of a very predictable one-star review from former Secret Service agent (and dear Gerald Blaine friend and colleague) Chuck Zboril. I harken back to a famous line (one of many) in the Oliver Stone movie “JFK”, wherein Kevin Costner , after making a vital point buried in the 26 volumes of the Warren Commission, says (paraphrased) “but the idea gets shuffled around and the point gets lost.”
TURN TO PAGE 121 OF MY OWN BOOK “SURVIVOR’S GUILT”:
“Blaine even erroneously thought [SAIC Gerald] Behn was on the Florida trip, a testament to the frequency of his [Behn’s] trips with the president.” [author’s interview with Blaine 2/7/04]
TURN TO PAGE 294 OF MY OWN BOOK “SURVIVOR’S GUILT”:
“Zboril was sure that Kellerman, who wasn’t even on the Florida trip, was present in Tampa: “I thought it was Roy Kellerman, not Boring, in the car on the Tampa trip…that’s my recollection.” [author’s interview with Chuck Zboril 11/15/95]
Beyond just the general credibility gap issues, by this specific “recollection” of a supervisory agent OTHER THAN FLOYD M. BORING having been on the Florida trip and having rode in the presidential limousine, these two fine gentlemen have, independent of one another, totally impeached ole Blaine’s book “The Kennedy Detail” even further: how can Blaine write so authoritatively that he heard BORING over the radio relaying JFK’s alleged instruction to remove Zboril and Lawton from the rear of the limousine WHEN HE CAN’T EVEN GET THE NAME OF THE ACTUAL AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE TRIP AND RIDING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL LIMOUSINE CORRECT?
Likewise, how in the world can Zboril vouch for Blaine and his book when he, perhaps in an even worse case of “faulty memory”, ALSO CANNOT GET THE NAME OF THE ACTUAL AGENT IN CHARGE OF THE TRIP AND RIDING IN THE PRESIDENTIAL LIMOUSINE CORRECT…AND BORING WAS THE AGENT WHO ALLEGEDLY RELAYED THIS ORDER/ KIND ANECDOTE/ PRESIDENTIAL WISH (TAKE YOUR PICK) *TO* ZBORIL!
