Harold Weisberg re: Roy Kellerman’s daughter
Harold Weisberg (to Bruce Milner, 9/29/86) [with typos; Weisberg wrote the same thing to myself in early 1992]:
“I made one of two appearances I made at the univereity of Maryland in
1966 and 1977. Aside from the story I’m about to toll, it may amuse you how I can have
a clear recollection of these among so many college appearances. Well, once it
coincided with a world series game and the other time it coincided with the first
fratornity sororiety confernee on sex. Stiff competition both times! But I had full
audience and I’m reasonably certain that the time I’m getting to the kide went out
to classes or for supper and then returned. It lasted quite some time. At the end there
were some student: who wanted books autographed, and a thhle had been set up for this
off to the right of that large meeting room. Theyi formed a line. I notice one rather
attractive woman students, slightly hailer than most, moving to the back of the line
ae others came up and was mustified. Until thore waa nobody else. I could then see
her clearly and I could see she’d been crying. She said she wanted to thank me for
the kind things I’d said about her father. I tried to make light of it and said she
had the advantage, she knew who her father is. She said it was (he died, too) Roy
Kellerman. I told her that I’d spoken only the truth, that those man were more
distress than most of us because they could not have done anything and because they
were closer to the .President. Before she left she added the hope that the time might
come when they could safely say in public what they were saying in the privacy of their
own home and circles.”

About vincepalamara
Vincent Palamara was born in Pittsburgh and graduated from Duquesne University with a degree in Sociology.
Although not even born when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, Vince brings fresh eyes to an old case. In fact, Vince would go on to study the largely overlooked actions - and inactions - of the United States Secret Service in unprecedented detail, as well as achieving a world's record in the process, having interviewed and corresponded with over 80 former agents (the House Select Committee on Assassinations had the old record of 46 with a 6 million dollar budget and subpoena power from Congress), not to mention many surviving family members, White House aides, and even quite a few Parkland and Bethesda medical witnesses for a corresponding project. The result was Survivor's Guilt: The Secret Service & The Failure To Protect President Kennedy.
Vince is also the author of the books JFK: From Parkland To Bethesda, The Not-So-Secret Service, Who's Who in the Secret Service, and Honest Answers about the Murder of President John F. Kennedy: A New Look at the JFK Assassination.
All told, Vince has been favorably mentioned in over 140 JFK and Secret Service related books to date (including two whole chapters in Murder in Dealey Plaza, The Secret Service: The Hidden History Of An Enigmatic Agency by Philip Melanson, and the Final Report of the Assassination Records Review Board, among many others), often at length, in the bibliographies, and in the Secret Service - and even medical evidence - areas of these works.
Vince has appeared on the History Channel's THE MEN WHO KILLED KENNEDY (VHS and DVD), C-SPAN, Newsmax TV, A COUP IN CAMELOT (DVD/BLU RAY), KING KILL '63, THE MAN BEHIND THE SUIT (DVD), National Geographic's JFK: THE FINAL HOURS (including on DVD), PCN, BPTV, local cable access television, YouTube, radio, newspapers, print journals, at national conferences, and all over the internet. Also, Vince's original research materials, or copies of said materials, are stored in the National Archives (by request under Deed Of Gift by the ARRB), the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Harvard University, the Assassination Archives and Research Center, and the Dallas Public Library.
Vince Palamara has become known (as he was dubbed by the History Channel in 2003) "the Secret Service expert." As former JFK Secret Service agent Joe Paolella proclaimed: "You seem to know a lot about the Secret Service, maybe even more than I do!" Agent Dan Emmett calls Vince a Secret Service expert in his new book.
