This is the Oswald grave marker I remember seeing at Rose Hill Cemetery in the mid-1960s; removed, but not forgotten. In the fall of 1978, when I interviewed Marguerite Oswald for an article on the upcoming 15th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination for my school paper, this gravestone might have been right under my feet. I still have the magazine Mrs. Oswald gave me, Four Dark Days in History, a magazine that has a photo on the third page, a photo that Marguerite insisted proved her boy was not the killer. How could he have shot the president when this photo shows he was standing outside the Texas School Book Depository when the Presidents car drove past? How indeed, other than the fact the the guy in the photo wasnt Lee Harvey Oswald. After giving me the magazine, and allowing me to interview her during a 30 minute chat that felt more like a 3 hour root canal, Mrs. Oswald asked to see my wallet. I handed it to her and she took $15 out of it, asking Is this really all you have?. I told her it was and she said, Well, you just got the deal of the century then, didnt you?. nytimes/2012/04/11/us/a-dispute-over-lee-harvey-oswalds-tombstone.html?_r=0
