Phil Cook-A little history and The Six Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

This is a picture of our very own Phil Cook. I had remembered that he had worked on the Kennedy assignation and wondered if he had any pictures in the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. I ask him if it was ok to add this to our blogsite.
Following is his response;
Thanks Mary.. I have quite a few.This is Jack Ruby and I. I escorted him to the courtroom and sat with him during his trial.

So if you would like to see more of our Phil you might be interested in visiting the museum this summer....mary
