TOPIC: The JFK Assassination: Eyewitness to the Autopsy of JFK
A witness to history: Baton Rouge businessman Richard Lipsey’s recollection is unlike any other.
Details: Millions of Americans can instantly recall where they were, what they were doing and how they felt on Nov. 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Aide to Maj. Gen. Philip C. Wehle, the commander of the military district of Washington, D.C. At 1:30 p.m. on that fateful Friday, Lipsey remembers standing outside the home of Maj. Gen. Philip Wehle in Fort Meyer, Va., when the words “the president has been shot” first roared over the military chauffeur’s car radio. Lipsey remembers bolting back toward the door of the house to tell Wehle the news, but by that time his boss was halfway to the car, ready to head to the office with Lipsey by his side. It was time to go to work. It is suspected that Lipsey was the last person to see the president in the flesh, as it remains unknown whether Jacqueline Kennedy opened the casket while alone in the East Room after the service. But it is the aftermath of the assassination that sets Lipsey’s story apart.
The Board of Governors is honored to sponsor this event.
