Book Cover & Preview Text
While watching the Eugene McCarthy presidential debate I suddenly became alarmed when I heard Bobby Kennedy make a promise to send 50 Phantom Jets to Israel when he became President. I stood up and screamed out that he had just given “them” a way to kill him. June 5, 1968 was right in front of us and it was the anniversary of the Arab-Israeli War. My singing grew grew alarmed and made me promise not to say anything to anyone about my fears. At that moment I decided to trade my life for his if I could. I would take a bullet for Kennedy.

About the Book
My book will involve my personal experience working with the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Working as part of the advance team that preceded his appearances in Southern California this book will detail my effort to prevent RFK’s assasination. My singing group, THE SOUNDS OF TIME, chosen by Mrs. Ethel Kennedy warmed up the crowds and we spent many hours before RFK appeared.
RFK68 is the title of the book and it will detail what occured both before and after Sen. Kennedy’s appearance at the Ambassador Hotel. My birthday is on June 5th which is what the book is all about. That day is the day Sen. Kennedy was targeted. This is a never before seen communication and will outline the mistakes made by security guards and even people who staffed the campaign in Los Angeles.
