That would be Robert and his 3 sons along with his wife Mary Kessler and her two daughters. After they had finished with the campaign material, Mary Kessler left with her daughters and Robert's 2 youngest sons. David stayed at the Walker house with his dad and was present when the shot was fired at Walker. Mary and the 4 children had just arrived home when Robert called and had them come back over to the Walker house. After calling his wife, Robert left with his son David (before any police had arrived) to go look for the shooters (supposedly). They drove around for awhile then his dad parked behind a car with two men in it. Robert Surrey got out of the car and walked up and talked to the men in the car. David overheard a discussion about "did they get him" or something to that effect. At the time he thought they were talking about the shooter, but they weren't.<br /><br />Robert Surrey took his son David out to Spring Creek in Richardson for target practice in the fall of 1963. He was introduced to Lee Harvey Oswald and they fired all the weapons they had including Oswald's guns. All shell casings were picked up and never left behind.

I have photos of some of my computerized grades from high school. UF's was even more sophisticated. Florida had advanced computers earlier than most other states. Note this from Wikipedia: "FLAC, the Florida Automatic Computer, was an early digital electronic computer built for the United States Air Force at Patrick Air Force Base (PAFB), Florida to perform missile data reduction.[1] The computer began service in 1953...The FLAC machines' service life ended in 1960, whereupon they were replaced by IBM 709 scientific computers." That computer had the ability to make many a student miserable as it spit out grades. You can Google the IBM 709 and words such as "glitches"....The IBM 7094 and CTSS <br />www.multicians.org/thvv/7094.htmlIn the mid-1960s, IBM's 7094 was one of the biggest, fastest computers ...

I am only at the point were you just met Lee and I believe almost everything you write. But one question so far, you mentioned the 'computer' at one of the schools I think in Florida... keeping track of the students registration and grades in 1963? I don't think they had any computers back then especially doing record work for schools? Am I wrong? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
