Paul Landis: Eyewitness to a

President's Assassination

Sunday, October 8 * 2 pm * Dessert Reception

Mr. Landis served our nation for several  years as a Secret Service Agent. His  assignments included protecting President  Eisenhower's grandchildren, the White  House Detail, the Caroline & John Jr.  "Kiddie Detail" as well as guarding First  Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. He witnessed  President Kennedy's assassination from the Secret Service  car right behind the President. He continued to guard  Mrs. Kennedy, but after six months, with the memories of

Dallas still fresh in his mind, he submitted his resignation.  Over 40 years of relative silence followed, and now over 50  years later, he is willing to share some of those memories,  both pleasant and sad.
