Bizarre Connections between Kennedy and Lincoln

It happened at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dealey Plaza, Texas.

Rest in Peace...John Fitzgerald Kennedy

We will never forget.

The two men in front...Roy Kellerman (died in 1984 of unreported causes) and William Greer (died in 1985 of cancer)...secret service agents.

Then John Connally (died in 1993 of pulmonary fibrosis, and his wife Nellie (died in her sleep in 2006 ).

And of course JFK (assassinated on November 22, 1963) and Jackie (died in 1994 of non-Hodgkins lymphoma).

But there was another "passenger" that day...and he is still alive.

The agent who hopped on the back of the limo...his name is Clinton Hill.  He was with the Secret Service.  He is the sole "passenger" from that day who is still alive.
