interview (10-27-2022) with Paul Gregory (born 2/10/1941) with LBJ Foundation
president Mark Updegrove (a paid PR henchman for the LBJ legacy crowd who professes
that a lone nut Oswald killed JFK) and the head of the LBJ Library and
University of Texas professor Mark Atwood Lawrence doing the interview.

Comment by Robert Morrow:
Paul Gregory (born 2-10-1941) certainly knew Lee Harvey Oswald in 1962 and in
the past Gregory has provided useful information about Oswald, but Paul Gregory
knows absolutely nothing about the JFK assassination. It seems that Gregory’s
limited research into the JFK assassination is reading the machine gun riddled
and utterly ludicrous Warren Report and utterly ignoring the other 2,000 plus
books that have been written on that topic. Lee Harvey Oswald, unlike Lyndon
Johnson, was a huge fan of John Kennedy and his family, and Gregory has given
us useful information about that.
Lee Harvey Oswald kept a copy of JFK
as “Man of the Year” prominently displayed in his home from June to November,
1962. It was the Jan. 5, 1962 issue of TIME
The TIME magazine cover that Oswald
displayed was this one: http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19620105,00.html
Paul Gregory knew Lee and Marina Oswald from
June-November, 1962
“Lee Harvey Oswald Was My Friend” by Paul
Gregory for NYT, Nov. 7, 2013
QUOTE
The next Tuesday, at around 6 p.m., Marina invited me in for my first
lesson. The Oswald living
room was extraordinarily bare; there was a shabby sofa and chair and a worn
coffee table where a copy of Time magazine featuring John F. Kennedy as its Man
of the Year was prominently displayed. (The issue, which would curiously
remain in the same place during all my visits, was dated Jan. 5, five months
before the Oswalds’ arrival in the U.S.) We sat there uncomfortably for some 20
to 30 minutes until Lee burst in the door, dressed in his customary simple
slacks, a plaid shirt with open collar and sleeves rolled up to the elbows,
carrying a stack of weighty books from the Fort Worth public library. The
conversation segued to the Time cover; Marina ventured that the president
appeared to be a nice man and that the first lady, at least from the pictures
she had seen, appeared quite glamorous. She also said that she seemed to be a
good mother. Lee, in his curt way, agreed.

Hoover research fellow Paul
Gregory has donated the pocket-sized English-Russian dictionary
that Lee Harvey Oswald used in Russia to the Hoover Institution Archives. He
has also donated a postcard to him dated November 8, 1962, from Lee and Marina
Oswald of Elsbeth Street in Dallas. How Gregory came into possession of those
two items is explained in his article “Lee Harvey Oswald Was My Friend,” which
appeared in the New York Times Magazine on
November 10, marking the upcoming fiftieth anniversary of President John F.
Kennedy’s assassination.
Gregory also appeared on CNN to discuss
his article and his relationship with the Oswalds on November 14.
Paul Roderick Gregory – 2013 article on Lee Harvey
Oswald
QUOTE
At 2:01, an excited reporter, located at Dallas Police
headquarters, shouted out on camera: “They are bringing in a suspect!”
The TV showed a short man, disheveled in a white, V-neck tee shirt and dark
trousers. He was surrounded by police officers. His face was bruised, and one
eye was black.
I stared in utter and stunned disbelief. It was clearly Lee
Harvey Oswald! I muttered mainly to myself in shock: “I know that man.”
No one around me reacted, which was no surprise: anyone who’d heard me would
have thought I was befuddled by the events. My first real thought was that they probably picked Lee
up because of his suspicious background, which would have been known to the
Dallas authorities; but how could they have worked so fast? And why was his
face bruised?
Lee spoke up in a voice familiar to me. He declared himself
innocent, a patsy. He said he had no idea why he was in custody. He pleaded for
a lawyer.

My friend Lee Harvey Oswald by Paul Gregory - appeared in NYT
https://theweek.com/articles/455896/friend-lee-harvey-oswald
Lee Harvey
Oswald at age 22 could speak Russian surprisingly well
Just
read Paul Gregory's article for the NYT that was published on November 7, 2013,
"Lee Harvey Oswald Was my friend." https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/magazine/lee-harvey-oswald-was-my-friend.html
Paul
Gregory's dad literally wrote a letter for Oswald stating that Oswald was
qualified to work as a Russian translator. You can find the relevant passage
buried deep in the NYT article. Just search for "My father asked
Oswald to translate."
William
Bredin on whether Oswald beat his wife; her black eye was likely due to a fall
that Paul Gregory witnessed
J. D. Tippit: Searching
For The Truth | Facebook
William Bredin (in 2021
or 2022 on Facebook):
QUOTE
The source of the beating story is
subject to dispute.
A witness, Paul Gregory, to the bruise
in question had another story; "Oswald probably did not hit his wife. Her
bruise was likely due to the fall she experienced in the latter part of August,
1962, as witnessed by a friend of the Oswald couple, Paul Gregory. Marina
probably blamed her husband to get sympathy and favors from her White Russian
friends."
Once again, you were not there. Your
professional psychologist was not there. Lee's mother's testimony was based on
Marina's story. Lee told his mother the source of Marina's black eye was none
of her business.
If you truly believe
marital discord provides evidence that someone murdered the President and a
police officer within one hour of each other, God help innocent people getting
stuck with someone like you on a jury.

QUOTE
According
to an account published in The New York Times by Paul Gregory, a friend of Oswald’s, Lee and
Marina kept a copy of Time magazine featuring John F. Kennedy as
its Man of the Year prominently displayed in their home.
“Lee liked Kennedy,” according to
Priscilla McMillan, a friend of Oswald’s wife and the author of Marina & Lee. “He liked him in civil rights. He
disliked him for the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. … But insofar as he spoke
about Kennedy, it was to praise him.”
