Kennedy Assassination
03/25/2014
It was just over 50 years ago that President John Kennedy was assassinated. Those of us alive at that time remember exactly what we were doing when we heard the news of that tragic event.  Even today decades later, controversy still engulfs the official findings of the Warren Report.
 
On Wednesday March 25th the White Bear Area Chamber will hear from Federal Judge John Tunheim, one of the foremost experts on the Kennedy assassination.  Judge Tunheim was appointed by President Clinton to set up a panel to archive the six million plus pages bound by the Federal Government on the Kennedy assassination. That information was reviewed primarily because of the movie on the assassination produced by Oliver Stone.
 
Recently, the Star & Tribune featured a front page article about Judge Tunheim mentioning him as a top expert on the Kennedy assassination.
 
Registration begins at 11:30 am with program & lunch at Noon.
