Jim Olivier, a retired broadcaster and well-known singer and businessman, died Sunday morning April 13th, 2008 in Lafayette, Louisiana. Olivier was 57. Jim, a Louisiana-based television journalist, has been researching the assassination for more than 30 years. He has produced and hosted television and radio interviews with many well known researchers and authors such as Jim Garrison, David Lifton, Mark Lane, Mary Ferrell, Robert Mayheu, Joe West, David Belin, Jack Anderson, John Davis, John Newman, Dr. Charles Crenshaw, Penn Jones, Jr., and a host of Dealey Plaza eyewitnesses. His primary focus in the Kennedy assassination has been events in New Orleans and the Garrison investigation. Jim Olivier spoke at several November in Dallas Conferences, presenting interviews with individuals not

formerly on record which confirm the presence of Lee Oswald in Clinton, La. with Clay Shaw and David Ferrie, as well as information confirming the pre-assassination remarks of Rose Cherimie as to a conspiracy to kill the President. In addition to being a frequent NID speaker, Jim was the long time Master of Ceremonies of the JFK Lancer Novemnber in Dallas Awards Banquets. With his quick wit and friendly manner, Jim entertained the conference attendees while keeping the program moving forward. Most JFK Lancer members are familiar with the smooth voice and easy smile of this gentle man, but may not be aware he was also a well known radio and television host. For 25 years, Olivier hosted Passe Partout, an early-morning news and music program held weekdays on KLFY-TV10. The former country music DJ at KXKW promoted Cajun music and zydeco and reported news and weather in his native Cajun French. He also hosted the Meet Your Neighbor show each weekday at noon. In 1980, Olivier began a music recording career with Swallow Records of Ville Platte. Olivier’s first 45-rpm single, Brasse le couche-couche, began an immediate hit. His follow-up hits included If You’ll Give Me Another Chance, Comme Un Cadien (Just Like A Cajun), I Love My Saturday Night, Good Hearted Man and La Marriage a Pic et Poc. He eventually released five albums during his music career. Last year, Swallow Records released 20 of Olivier’s songs on an Essential Collection CD. The disc contained a new song, Nothing New, Same Old Thing, a blues tune done in French. In 1995, Olivier left the Passe Partout morning show. Three years later, he partnered with his wife Anna to start Jim Olivier’s Home Improvement Co., a Lafayette-based business specializing in insulated vinyl siding and windows. Jim Olivier was an outstanding reseacher, but more importantly, he was a friend... and we shall miss him dearly. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to his family and loved ones.

Ed HoffmanVirgil Edward Hoffman was the older of two

sons born to Frederick and Polly Hoffman in 1936. At birth Ed had normal hearing, but after turning four years old he contracted an unknown illness that produced a high fever. The fever caused extensive auditory nerve damage in both ears, causing a complete loss of hearing. When his parents were informed that their son was deaf, they learned sign language to communicate with him. Leaving work on November 22, 1963 Hoffman took the Elm Street exit out of Dealey Plaza and merged onto Stemmons freeway. Realizing the Presidential motorcade would be coming soon, Hoffman parked his car on the side of Stemmons Freeway and waited. From his vantage point, Ed had an unobstructed view of the area to the east, including the parking area behind the wooden fence in Dealey Plaza, which included the railroad yard, the west side of the Texas School Book Depository, and the parking lot on the west side of the depository. He observed men in the parking area behind the fence acting most suspiciously -- with a weapon.

“The Torch is Passed”Music by Joey Granati Lyrics by Joey Granati/ Sherry Fiester

(Verse)He was a “once in a lifetime”; so many hopes and dreams awakened with him.He had charisma and such a bright mind, a beacon we thought would never dim.But his brilliant flame, much too soon was snuffed out by vicious and cold hearted souls.A great future was denied, our nation cried, and our innocence was lost—along with his goals.

(Chorus)His spirit and vision was our hope and our light, his words still ring out and feed our passion for right.His strength and conviction keep us seeking his dream, yet a new dream is born—that truth will reign supreme.Both dreams are still alive; his legend will not end. The torch has been passed to light the fire once again.For truth and justice we’ll see, then he’ll rest in peace.

(Verse)We were lucky to have known him. He had the gift to make you know that he cared.He was one for the ages, a profile in courage whose elegance and grace were revered.By the hand of God he came and changed our day, a man we loved who was ahead of his time.By the hand of man, he was taken away, but his dream and his light will forever shine.

(Chorus)His spirit and vision remain our hope and our light, his words still ring out and feed our passion for right.His strength and conviction keep alive his legacy, his dream we carry on for freedom and equality.He was here a brief moment, but the memories last; his eternal flame is the torch that we pass.For truth and justice is our quest, and then in peace he’ll rest.

Here’s to the Knight of Camelot, who stood for truth, for freedom, peace, service and equality.His dream will ever last, the torch is passed, his light will shine for eternity.He made us look at things we hadn’t before: the good, the bad, the real, and he made a change.His work won’t be denied, his torch is held high and the frontier he discovered won’t die in vain.Truth and justice for this great mind who inspired us in a magical moment in time.A man of peace, he instilled in us that we are here to serve mankind.Let’s look at what he’s done, and protect his history and live the dream of his wordsThat challenged us individually—”Ask not what your country can do for you...Ask what you can do for your country...”

Shine...His light will forever shine...Shine...His light will forever shine...Shine...His light will forever shine...Shine...The Torch will forever shine...

Forty Years after November 22, 1963 Rick Barton 2003

PHOTO EXHIBIT • WHERE WERE YOU?November 22, 1997 – 2007, Photographs of Dealey Plaza

by Rick Barton and Patricia D. Richards

November 22, 1963 is a date seared in the memory of all those who were alive at that time, especially in America. The events of that day changed the way we thought about one another, our government, law enforcement, civility, and truth. It brought the horrors of death to our doorsteps and ushered in television as a primary source of breaking news. Photographers and journalists gathered to tell the unfolding stories of a country in shock and grief, and a city in chaos. Dallas became known as the place where President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Controversy began immediately: Who heard what when? Did anyone see a gun? Where was it? How many people had weapons? Where did the shots come from? Five people are believed to have seen a gun sticking out of the window on the 6th floor of the Texas School Book Depository. None of those five had cameras ready to record what they thought they were seeing. Others were sure they heard shots coming from behind the grassy knoll. Still others thought they saw many things no one has ever proven. The great American mystery—Who Shot the President?—had begun.

Starting in 1997, Rick Barton and Patricia D. Richards began photographing the events at Dealey Plaza on the anniversary of the President’s assassination, November 22. We wanted to see for ourselves if people were still interested in that date and to record photographically what we saw there. 34 years had passed since the assassination when we began our documentary. On that day the crowds gathered slowly. We were told to stick around that a cousin of the Kennedy’s was going to say a few words, that the “Babushka Woman” was going to sing the Star Spangled Banner, that the actor who played JFK in Oliver Stone’s movie was coming, etc. We learned that Dealey Plaza was a place very much engaged with the events of November 22, 1963. In the ensuing years we learned that people are drawn to a place because of what happened there, that compassion is still a driving force in the lives of many, that controversy and mystery reign supreme, and that we could indeed bear witness to it all photographically.

About Your Guide

Ken M. Holmes Jr. shows outlaw Bonnie Parkers

stolen Model 1917 45 caliber revolver to a group.

I was born and raised in Dallas where I lived most of my

life. I started ranching and entered a law enforcement

career in Central Texas, where I held the jobs of City Mar-

shal and Deputy Sheriff. After 11 years I moved back to

Dallas area to run my family’s business which was started

in 1944 by my grandfather and father till I sold it and

started Southwestern Historical Inc., my life long dream.

At eleven years of age I found that my interest in local his-

tory was more than just a youthful fantasy. Over the years,

I have interviewed many people and researched various

historical events. My business now includes historical re-

search, tours, consulting, historical publications and exhib-

its. I know you will find my tours exciting, educational and

entertaining.

I WAS CASTRO’S PRISONERby John Martino

Prior to his death in 1975, John Martino became the “Someone Who Talked.” from the Prologue by Edward Martino

“I Was Castro’s Prisoner” is historically significant book that in 1963 was a media sensation in conservative political circles. Martino’s attention was focused on his exile companions and the elimination of Fidel Castro—any related political consequences would have been of little concern. Martino’s attitude, aims and commitments grew from his “I Was Castro’s Prisoner” experience. You will not find the details of what Martino did in 1963 in “I Was Castro’s Prisoner”—what you will find, is the reason why Martino acted as he did. from the Foreword by Larry Hancock

The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the Conspiracy to Mislead History

JIM GARRISON: HIS LIFE AND TIMES,

THE EARLY YEARS

by Joan Mellen

A biography of the former District Attorney of Orleans Parish, Louisiana from his 1922 birth in Iowa and service in World War II - to his years confronting the corrupt politics of Louisiana. Contains new information on the assassination of President Kennedy and Lee Oswald.

Garrison’s life story includes the landmark case of Garrison v. Louisiana, which extended the free speech protection of New York Times v. Sullivan (1964), and the Dombrowski case, where three New Orleans civil rights activists were arrested for bringing Communist ideas to the movement for racial equality led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Jim Garrison emerges as a defender of the victims of racial inequality, and of censorship. His actions reveal him to be a supporter of the defendant, and a fierce proponent of the rights of the individual. It also reveals him to have been, in many ways, a man of his generation.

This volume takes us to the moment in 1966 when Jim Garrison began to investigate the Kennedy assassination.

Biographer Joan Mellen met New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison in 1969. His relentless search for the truth about what happened to President Kennedy made a deep impression upon her. In 1997, Mellen started to work on the story of Garrison’s life. This biography turned into the story of Garrison’s investigation and then into a new investigation of the assassination itself in her recent book, A Farewell to Justice: Jim Garrison, JFK’s Assassination, and the Case That Should Have Changed History.

$22.50

BEYOND THE FENCE LINE: THE EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF ED HOFFMAN AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY

By Casey J. Quinlan & Brian K. Edwards

Foreword by Jim MarrsOn November 22, 1963, President John Kennedy was murdered in front of hundreds of people in Dealey Plaza. Ed Hoffman saw the man who fired the fatal shot that killed the President — and it was not Lee Harvey Oswald. His eyewitness account destroys the government’s version of a lone gunman shooting from the Texas School Book Depository

Ed Hoffman is a most important eyewitness in the murder of President Kennedy. He should have been embraced for coming forward but instead was crucified by the electronic and print media. He is the only witness who can “speak” to the fundamental events of November 22, 1963. The conspirators were hoping that no one would see the activity behind the picket fence, but someone did. The irony is that the only eyewitness to their activity that afternoon has a hearing disability.
