Jerry
Dealey: A member of the famous Dealey family of Dallas, his
Great Granduncle was George Bannerman Dealey, the founder
of "The Dallas Morning News", and for whom Dealey
Plaza was named. Also cousin to Commander Samuel D. Dealey,
Jr., the captain of the US Submarine Harder, Medal Of Honor
winner, and the most decorated Sailor in World War II. Jerry
was born in Dallas, and has had family or lived here all
of his life.
In addition to giving tours, Jerry
is highly active in the JFK assassination research community
and knows and exchanges ideas with many of the researchers,
authors, witnesses, and investigators. Jerry has appeared
on local television, presented material at conferences,
appeared in documentary films and has published many articles
on the assassination. Jerry feels he cannot be 100% positive
of Oswald's sole involvement or prove a conspiracy. As
such, he can evaluate all sides of any argument, and sees
the pro and cons of either side.In addition to Jerry's
Kennedy research, he has authored a book “D
in the Heart of Texas” on the history of Dallas, Dealey
Plaza, the Dealey family, and "The Dallas
Morning News". He is an active Docent at the historic
Hall of State in Fair Park, as well as a Docent at the
Dallas County Old Red Courthouse Museum in Dealey Plaza.
