The Woman in Red, Jean Hill Memorial Page
Jean in Dealey Plaza |
|
In the next frames, as Jean looks on, the President is shot in
the head and killed. |
Thank you for visiting our pages.
She had something that very few people in this
world have anymore. She had compassion and she had courage. Those
are the things that Jean should be remembered for. Her Warren
Commission Testimony was about 6 seconds of her life and she
lived for 69 years. How sad is it that we ignore everything else?
Mike Mansfield's eulogy for Kennedy also described every survivor
of the Kennedy assasasination: " There was a sound of laughter
and in a moment, it was no more." Jean smiled and Jean laughed
because Jean lived. They all do. Remember Jean as a mother and
a grandmother. Remember her for being one of the most dedicated
teachers I have ever known. That was her life and THAT is her
legacy. My sincerest sympathies to the Hill family and her friends
alike.

Jean
Hill was discredited because of her observation of seeing a "little
Dog" sitting between President Kennedy and Mrs. Kennedy
at the time of the assasination , basically this observation
appeared to make her a questionable witness. However the emergence
of the lost TV tapes of the Kennedy's arriving at Love Field
in Dallas clearly indicates that perhaps a spectator gave Mrs.
Kennedy a "Lampchop" white dog puppet as she approached
the Limousine to start the fatal motorcade ride through Dallas.Even
people on this site contend there is noevidence of rhis in any
of the above-view photos taken that day....I disagree. I know
of a photo that shows a fluffy white object just to theright
of Governor Connelly's shoulder and to the left of S.S.A. Roy
Kellerman.
I think Jean Hill was credible and courageous and is another
example of a profile in courage.

To
a fine lady,who stood her ground,you knew what you saw,and so
do the evil people that murdered our President.Maybe now you
Know Who paid for the bullets that killed J.F.K. Some of us should
ask Arlen, Gerald,and Howard what they Know. May God Bless And
Keep You.

I
met Jean at a book signing here in La. and took her out to dinner
and dancing. My wife and myself are deeoply greatful to have
sent an evening with this gracious lady whom the warren commission
could not find for years and who was just a phone call away.
Barbara and I thank you for a lovely evening!

Didn't
know Jean passed away, guess I'm a little behind. I read her
book and feel that she was credible and reported what she saw.
For all of us that were alive during Kennedy's assasination,
we all know where we were, and what we were doing when we heard
the news. What happened in Dealy Plaza happened quickly and surprizingly.
I see no reason to dispute Ms Hills recollection of the situation.
After all of the "mysterious deaths" in the aftermath
of the murder, I am amazed that she lived long enough to tell
her story. May she rest in peace, and the Good Lord grant her
the peace of mind she desrves.

Jean
Hill was villified by the Posner types because she said that
she saw a dog in the car with JFk & Jackie! As it turns out,
there was indeed a stuffed animal dog on the backseat at the
time. I do beleive that she enhanced her story because of a couple
of things. First and foremost is that she was a product of the
times and people couldn't be as forthright as you might think.
If you want to know who really planned the JFK hit, look no further
than Texas and the Hunts!
In closing, I have a picture somewhere of myself, my daughter,
and the lady in red from 1995! She was truly a nice lady who
I believed for the most part!

Hi,
Jean. I'm the author of an italian book, "Here's Who Killed
John Kennedy", and I remember You as the best no-believable
witness of the Conspiracy Circus of Dallas. Sorry, Jean, but
nobody like you have seen A DOG in the limousine between JFK
and Jackie Kennedy! Ciao. Diego Verdegiglio, Roma, Italia

As
a former staff attorney that served on the 1978 House Select
Committee on Assassinations, I am quite familiar with Jean Hill
and her eye witness account about the gun fire she recognized
emanating from the grassy knoll. Of the many witnesses in Dealy
Plaza that afternoon of Friday, 22 Novemer 1963, Jean's account
of the assassination is not only credible, it is significant.
Jean will be sorely missed. We can only hope that the Justice
Department will pick up the torch where the HSCA left it. Jean
would, I believe, want it that way.

I
read Jean Hill's book from the library. She saw the truth, spoke
the truth, though the bully boys threatened. Her sabotaged tie
rod tells a tale. It takes plenty to accomplish that--it doesn't
occur by chance. They thought they had another Karen Silkwood--but
they had a surviving witness. Thanks to the library, they've
STILL GOT A SURVIVING WITNESS. We will remember you, Jean: Thank
You.

Jean stood firm to the truth without fear of intimidation. The
truth will be unearthed before 2035 when the Archives will be
opened. I'll see you in Heaven.

I
am 22 years old now, so I wasn't around when Jfk was assassinated.
But my mother was, and was living in America at the time. And
she has inspired me to write about him, and the truth. I always
looked up to jean Hill, and an inspiration to anyone in telling
the truth, even when things got hard. I would have loved to have
met her, and will think of her always.

was fortunate enough to have met Jean Hill in Dallas a year
prior to her passing, I'm very depressed today as I am writing
this now,being that I just heard about it today. Justlike I've
done on too many other occassions I took it for granted that
I would see her again soon someday and didn't fully appreciate
it at the moment that I was talking to a historic person, a very
important person, I'm at least proud to say I got her to sign
her book for me,we will miss you greatly Jean,you were a true
hero who stood up to authority and never backed down,even when
your life was threatened,we can all learn from you as an example.to
keep on fighting and never give up as you never did in your struggle
for seeking the truth.rest in peace.

She showed tremendouse courage to speak up, and history will

She
was a true hero. She knew the truth, and would not be moved.
To the poster that made the comment about Jean seeing a small
dog in the presidential limo, it's true she was ridiculed at
the time for that observation by people who were willing to do
things to discredit her, HOWEVER-- they had to eat crow, when
it came to light that their WAS a small stuffed toy dog in the
pres. limo. Someone had given it to the Kennedy's before the
presidential route embarked. So you see, even in attempts to
discredit Jean Hill she one ups you with the truth, and her remarkable
powers of observation. She took it ALL in, and then told ALL
of what she saw. SHE WAS RIGHT! God bless you Jean.

I
interviewed Jean Hill back in 1993 for a story I was doing for
a newspaper in Chicago. She didn't know me; I actually looked
up her number in the phone book (yes, it was listed). She was
quite gracious and we talked for a half-hour about the assassination
(and the fact that her daughter had moved to the Chicago area
and that she got out there from time to time). I'm very sorry
to hear about her passing.

She
was always attacked cause she spoke out on what she saw.I have
only seen her on talk show., and have seen the video of her from
nov22, 63..What bothered me is the critics that attack her only
play the part of the video of nov 22, 63 wherte she said that
there was a dog between JFK and JACKIE and thje tape was always
stopped there. Bit if you watch te whole tape she continues that
it looked like a dog,she couldn.t be sure {yellow roses} She
was someone who cared and only the good die before their time

Jean
Hill did not seek fame, and her name will not be found in any
history book. Those of us who know that the official version
of the JFK murder is fiction at its best, are all indebted to
the courage and honesty of Jean Hill. Criticism of her testimony
is just another bead in the strand of tragedies in this ongoing
comedy perpetrated by the U.S. Government. Bless you, Jean.

AS THE TRUE HAPPENING'S CONTINUE TO BECOME CLEARER.. WHEN I MET
YOU IT WAS A TRUE HONOR, AS I NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO GAZE UPON
MY IDOL.. SO TO THE CURSE OF THAT MOMENT PLAGUED EACH ONE THAT
WITNESSED IT..I PERSONALLY WANTED TO ASK JEAN ABOUT THE COLORADO
TRIP TAKEN THAT WEEKEND BY SEVERAL OF THE DALLAS POLICE OFFICERS...
IN WHATEVER WORDS THAT ARE WRITTEN ABOUT HER..IN WHATEVER FOND
MEMORIES MANY MAY RECALL.. HER BEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IS THAT SHE
LOVED.. THAT SHE PARTOOK IN A HISTORIC MOMENT AND THAT SHE CHOSE
TO SHARE THAT MOMENT BEYOND ANY PARTICULAR AGENDA..
SHE WILL BE MISSED...
I FOR ONE WISH I KNEW HER BETTER...
IT IS SOME COMFORT TO REALIZE THAT SHE REST'S WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE
OF THE TRUTH.. THAT THE DECEPTION AND BETRAYAL SHE MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED
IN LIFE IS EXTINGUISHED IN THE LIGHT OF THE LOVE THAT REMAINS
IN HER WAKE...
I AM VERY SORRY MY ILLNESS MADE ME MISS THIS YEARS CONFERENCE
WHICH I'M SURE WAS ENRICHED BY HER MEMORY...
MAY YOUR FAMILY BE COMFORTED BY KNOWLEDGE AND CERTAIN FAITH THAT
OUR TIME HERE IS BUT A BEGINING.. GOD BLESS... BOB COCHRAN...

Jean
took a lot of flack from the media and from those who supported

that the shots that killed President Kennedy came from the Grassey
Knoll, even after being pressured by officials right after the
assassination. Her courage is greatly admired, and will be greatly
missed.

lady. I commented that it was an honor to meet such an important
person who was a such big part of our history. She was beaming
when she left, and I hoped that maybe I had put a little bit
of sunshine into the day of someone who had been through so much.I
really admired her tremendous spirit!

A LOCAL BOOK SIGNING
WAYNE AND BARBARA LE BLEU
ABBEVILLE, LA USA - Thursday, November 16, 2000 at 20:27:23 (CST)
It
was just a year ago this month that I met Jean Hill. I was attending
the JFK Lancer Seminar on the JFK Assassination last November
in Dallas, Texas. Jean was charming from the first moment; she
was dressed in a beautiful shade of red and wore a winsome smile
that was only out shone by the twinkle in her eye. We were all
facinated by the things she had to say and won over by her wit
and sense of humor. At the end of one evening of seminar activities,
I saw Jean and a female companion waiting outside the Hotel;
it seemed that they were expecting a ride home that wasn't going
to show. I asked Jean if she would like me to drive her and her
friend home. She gratefully agreed. I didn't know Dallas at all
and she had to do all the navigating. At the end of out short
journey to her home we said our good nights and she thanked me
for the ride. I watched her go in the front entrance of her apartment
building; then I sat in my car for a few moments thinking about
who had just gotten out of my car. My eyes were drawn to the
front passenger seat just vacated. The "Lady in Red,"
who had so courageously spoke the truth in the face of one of
greatest lies perpetrated on the American nation, had just sat
there a moment ago -- the sweet perfume of a true American hero
had not been wasted on me. No, she had not saved a life at the
risk of her own, rather she risked more than she knew to keep
the truth from being the second victim on that fateful day in
November 1963. I will always be thankful for Jean Hill's self-sacrificing
commitment to her-story (especially in the face great political
pressure -- this, to me, equates to patriotism in the finest
tradition) and for the gift of that seredipitous evening where
I met the teacher who herself became a lesson in American history.
May God bless her soul and may God bless America.

10th(?), 1992. She gave her insight and knowledge of what had
happened that terrible day, and I asked her to sign her book
which I had gotten recently,and she gladly did. It was terribly
windy that day, but she consented to letting me take her picture,
and also wanted a picture of both of us. I took 2 pictures, and
then we discussed her time being harassed by the FBI after her
testimony
that she heard more shots than was "acceptable". I
have one regret, and that is because I never mailed her copies
of the pictures taken that day as she had requested. She even
told me her address was the same as it had been at the time of
the assassination, so I would have no problem getting them to
her. She was a sweet lady who stuck to her guns even after all
the death attempts and constant harassment. Then, later on, she
spoke to schools
to make sure that they heard the other side of the story that
was "adapted" to fit the events of that day. In her
own way, she was a HERO, and she will now be able to hear the
entire TRUE story, after fighting to get the truth out in her
life here on earth. Because of this, she will Rest In Peace.
I offer all her family and friends my sad condolences.

To
the family of Jean Hill Just wanted send my condolences to you
all. I met you Mother 8 years ago after reading her book, which
was an inspiration to me. My daughter Amanda and I both became
friends with her. When we came to Dallas for the first time in
1998 she met us at our hotel and introduced us to Madeleine Brown
and really showed us the town. Jeanne you may remember me as
the caller she would get when she would visit you in Chicago.
I haven't spoken to her since June and I called her Tuesday to
see how she was doing. I had no idea what had happened. I want
you to know that I think she was a wonderful woman and a good
friend. I always told her I was her biggest fan.
I will miss her

My
heart goes out to the Hill family.. Even though I never had the
the honor of meeting her, I have always admired her courage in
always standing up for what she believed no matter what the odds.
That is fast becoming a rarity in our nation. In a way I envy
Jean now.....she now knows THE TRUTH !!
God Bless !

I
first met Jean Hill in 1988 at her home in Dallas. Jean was a
very kind,hospitable lady that graciously spent her whole day
with me answering questions. I am very proud an honored to have
known Jean. May God Bless Jean Hill.

I
had the pleasure to first meet Jean in 1993 at the ASK conference.
She was signing her book at Mark Oakes' sales table. She was
a very kind and caring lady who held a special place in the hearts
of man researchers and wlll truly be missed. God Bless!!

I
was just 5 years old when JFK died that day, but in the years
following his assassination, I always believed strongly that
it was a conspiracy. In college, I did research and concluded
based on several eyewitness accounts, that JFK was hit from the
front and behind--acrossfire.
Triangulation of fire. That's a military tactic.
I'm sorry to hear about this fine lady who stood up as a witness
in a moment engraved upon this nation's soul forever.

Like
so many of us i wasnt fortunate enough to meet Jean but was aware
of her sincerity and patriotism a person who was never afraid
of speaking her mind with regard to the assassination in Dallas
that day, where officials were cowering under the immense pressure
of the truth Jean always told people her own version....the truth.
Accordingly she will be missed by us all, may your god bless
and keep you.

Jean,
you were much loved on this side of the Big Pond. I had the pleasure
and privilege to meet you several times and you always found
the time to speak with me and treat me with courtesy and consideration.
I particularly remember you signing a copy of the Warren Repoprt
for me with the words: "Never believe this fairy tale."
I never will, Jean. Dallas will be a little empty without you.

Don't
worry about Jean Hill folks.....She was from a generation that
remembered the basic values of Faith in GOD/Truth/Family/Patroitism
& Loyalty.
Even though she was VILIFIED by powerfull people, she stood by
her convictions.
ps, She knows all the answers now. (WHO/WHY)
Thats why they call it..."Going to her Final Rewards".
Thanks Jean.

I
missed seeing you in Dallas in 1993, as you were ill. Your sincerity
will live on! We will have some pleasant surprises for you next
time we all meet up. Take Care.

I
met Jean while in Dallas during the filming of "JFK";
as the replica of the X-100 which I built was being used in the
film. I found her to be an extraordinarily friendly person who
made you feel that you had known her for years. Those of us interested
in the life of President Kennedy and the tragedy in Dallas have
lost a true friend.

It
was a real pleasure to have met Jean. I was most impressed by
the force of her personality and the strength of her conviction.
She certainly never hesitated in stating her opinions. I always
ask people what they think about witnesses that they knew. Though
some disagreed with her all spoke highly of her character. It
was an honor to meet Jean. Though circumstance gave her a unique
role in history it was her fortitude that compelled her to seek
answers to that day in 1963. May God bless Jean Hill.

Jean
hill: 1931 - 2000
A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action,
for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills
our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with
name and form.
Goethe
The Lady In Red
We lost a special person this year in Jean Hill. An outgoing,
deeply feeling woman, Jean was a strong witness for conspiracy
in the JFK assassination.
Always dressed in red, Hill would speak at student gatherings
and attend JFK assassination events. Fearlessly, Hill would tell
each interviewer, "All I know is I heard more than three
shots and at least one of them came from behind the fence at
the top of the knoll."
