#1261 - Gary Severson

Gary Severson used to tell his students at John F. Kennedy High School in Bloomington, MN. that he had been studying the JFK assassination for 2 months before 11/22/63. The reason for that is that for him it started on 9/25/63 when JFK was receiving an honorary law degree from his alma mater at the University of North Dakota. Gary and his friend accidentally breached security that day to see JFK speak. This indelible experience, as a 16 year old, has led to a lifelong study of the assassination in all its aspects.
