Just WOW!

Lincoln Assassination Eyewitness appears on television's "I've Got a Secret" on February 9, 1956.

On a 1956 game show, a man appeared who had been present at Ford's Theatre on the night of April 14, 1865.

One has to understand that all the people knew ahead of time who the person with a secret was.     What did they do flip a coin to find the celebrity to FIND the secret ????

This old man who was tottering and had no idea what was going on was not given any time to relive what he saw, at 5 years of age .     Darn it is impossible for me to remember what went on when I was 5 years old. 

 True I do  remember one or two things when I was 3 but they were family things and I do not know if  I remember the times or hearing family telling me about them  later years later.

Memories of child hood are odd, we are influenced with family pictures and  story's repeated through life.  Comes a point the story's become our memories,

The part I like is the prize for Mr. Seymor at 96 years old was a can of pipe tobacco! Oh how times have changed.
