He and two other examin-ers were contacted by the chief of the FBI Labora-tory, who instructed each of the three men to make separate comparisons and examinations of the evi-dence, and later compare notes and see if they agree. Later, on Nov 23, 1963, FBI agents and other fed-eral officers had already begun delivering evidence to the FBI Laboratory, including the rifle that Lee Harvey Oswald used to kill the president. Well after midnight, Frazier and his colleagues went to the Secret Service garage to gather evidence from the presidential limousine. The vehicle had been flown from Dallas to Washington,
D.C., that afternoon. They examined the car very thoroughly that same night. Special Agent Frazier and his fel-low examiners spent many sleepless nights as the investigation unfolded. They never went home until Sunday for about five hours of sleep.
August 2015 “Trust in God, but lock your car” as set forth in “The Complete Life’s Little Instruction Book” by H. Jackson Brown, Jr., August 2000. Many of you will remember the date of Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was as-sassinated in Dallas, Tex. I was working in my law office in the Penobscot Building in Detroit on that Friday afternoon when I received a telephone call from my sister, Mary Margaret, who was visiting our parents in Toledo, Ohio. She told me of the President’s death. I had previously made plans to drive to Toledo the following day to attend the Uni-versity of Detroit Titans football game against the University of Toledo Rockets. Although the game was cancelled, I visited my parents and sister, and watched in amazement the proceedings on televi-sion that entire weekend. As I recall, President Kennedy’s motorcade was turning off Main Street at Dealey Plaza in Dallas just beneath the Texas Book Depository, when Ken-nedy was shot. FBI Special Agent Robert Frazier was at work at FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. when he heard of the shooting. Frazier was the Bureau’s lead firearms and ballistics examiner.
August 2015 2
On Monday, Agent Frazier and his wife attended the funeral procession along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then he went back to work and didn’t get home again until Wednesday. During the next two years, he immersed himself in the investigation. He trav-eled to Dallas and positioned himself at the same sixth-floor book depository window where Oswald waited for the presidential motorcade to come into view. The team re-enacted the entire event very carefully. Agent Frazier stood at the window with Oswald’s rifle, and with the scope on it. He also examined the revolver Oswald used to kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit shortly before Oswald was apprehended. Interviewed 50 years after President Kennedy’s death, when he was 94 years old, FBI Agent Frazier testified several times before the Warren Commis-
sion regarding his findings. He was well aware of the many conspiracy theories surrounding the Ken-nedy assassination, but he remained convinced that Oswald was the only shooter. I believe we can all agree with Special Agent Fra-zier, who said that: “It was a sad situation. Just re-membering that it was Kennedy and what a person-ality he had … It was a terrible, terrible thing.” He was confident that the work he and his colleagues conducted was meticulous and thorough and was the best that could have been done. My sister, Mary Margaret, returned to Portland, Ore., a few days after the funeral, and immediately purchased a television set so that she could continue to follow the JFK assassination story and the inves-tigation.
Profile of the Month: John M. Klobuchar
Michigan native and Detroit East-sider, John Klobuchar was born at Detroit's Grace Hospital. He grew up in the Moross-Harper area, attending Our Lady Queen of Peace Elementary School and gradu-ated from Bishop Gallagher High School. John and his wife, Mary, have been married 44 years. She was his high school sweetheart, but they have been acquainted almost 60 years. They were second-grade dancing partners in a special extra curricular class. John has two siblings—a brother in the Port Huron area and a sister in metro-Detroit. John and Mary have a son and daughter-in-law in New Jersey with twin 7 year old boys and a daughter and son-in-law in Grosse Pointe Woods with three sons, ages 11, 9, and 2. John's summer job as he neared college gradua-tion was with Carl W. Decker, Inc, a custom tun-neling company, after his junior and senior years at Michigan Tech. He can tell you all about “thingsunderground” from sewer lines to large vehicular tunnels. Upon graduation in 1971 with a BSME, hetook his father's and uncle's recommendation as Chrysler people to go for an interview. Having
recently built his own home stereo sound system from scratch apparently impressed the ChryslerManager in Sound Systems Engineering. His 35-year automotive career was launched. John recalls that he held eleven job positions during his employment at Chrysler Engineering. In thatthe modern cell-phone and now the “smart” phone has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, John attended a consumers' electronic exposition in 1984 in Chicago at McCormick Place; he made his first cell-phone call to his Chrysler boss to give him an “update” on what was in the electronics pipeline. “All work and no play...” John and a work col-league decided on a whim to enroll in a class atGreenfield Village many years ago—blacksmithing. They learned how to heat and bend metal, as itwas done in the old days over a coal-fired forge and anvil. Today John has these blacksmithing tools inhis garage and has made numerous items, especially antique reproductions over the years, and he attendssummer-time blacksmith conventions. John enjoys sailing on Lakes St. Clair, Huron, and Michigan. He has participated in nineteen Pt. Huron-to-Mackinac races (one 1st place), six Chicago-to-Mackinac races, and other smaller events. He canalso tell you about a Coast Guard rescue in 1985 after being de-masted and then discovering “bad” gas

Those who want to continue receiving mailed newsletters are to pay $15 per year to offset the cost of printing and mailing. If you want printed copies, be sure to CHECK THE “PRINTED NEWSLET-TERS” box on the invoice and include the $15 fee in addition to dues payment. Make checks payable to “SMC of GP”.

We have electronically sent August newsletters to all members. If you did not get a newsletter it means we do not have a valid email address for you. We would like everyone, whether requesting a mailed newsletter or not, to return the invoice with your badge number, name and current e-mail address. Also, check your information in the 2015 Directory and make corrections only on the invoice provided. Any changes that you make will be reflected in the new directory.

land via taxi-cab ride from Alpena. John also enjoys fly-fishing. (Several years back, he personally helped me select a pair of waders as a Christmas gift for my son-in-law.) He has visited streams in Montana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, andof course Northern Michigan. Ask him about the trip in 2000 to West Yellowstone and the “911” call! I personally worked with John at Chrysler over the years, even car-pooling to Highland Park for a time. Career paths caused us to lose contact until after retirement when we saw each other at Dave'sBarbershop on Fisher Road. I invited John for a SMC lunch (with its fabulous 3 quarter sandwich-es). He accepted my invitation to join the SMC and soon volunteered (was recruited?) to join the Newsletter Mailing Committee. Since joining our Club in 2013, John is now on the Board of Direc-tors and Chairman of the Memorial Committee. Thank you, John, for all you do for the organiza-tion!

SMC Speaker, May 12, Patrick Hynes
On May 12th, our Senior Men’s Club was treated to a very interesting speaker, Patrick Hynes. After a very special introduction by our 1st Vice President, Bob Hynes, Patrick dove right into his talk.
Interesting? Sure was! Patrick is with Ernst & Young LLP, and is an Executive Director of Advisory Services in Los Angeles, CA. He has a team of people who work with their clients to help make it harder for them to be hacked.
This is an evolving threat, organized groups that hack do have an Attack Cycle and it is a huge
issue for business today. Companies think they are secure; however in reality they are not secure. Approximately 60% of cash registers are supported by software that is outdated with significant security weaknesses, and the hackers know how to hack into this information. As a card is swiped, in less than a second they capture numbers easily. In fact, following their clients' approval, Patrick’s team has hacked into the company's main computers in 30 minutes or less. These companies are truly surprised because so much of this information is highly confidential.
In fact, people/organizations are advertising for individuals to help them hack into various agencies or companies. In other countries, this is legal. Russian Business Network (RBN) in St. Petersburg engages in cyber crime organizational activity. They have links to Russian organized crime.
Clients of EY are lucky to have such a team of experts headed up by Patrick. We all increasingly rely on computers for our shopping and personal banking.
Many Thanks to Patrick for visiting us at the SMC and for bring to our attention this very important issue

FORD PIQUETTE PLANT TOUR REPORT
This gem of an auto museum-- in a challenged part of our town-- was visited by about twenty SMC members and their guests on July 23rd. The closed Woodward exit on I 94 made getting there a bit of a puzzle. So unfortunately, a few were a bit late and missed seeing the nearby facility for homeless veterans. Those who did see it were very impressed by this bold outreach to a group of servicemen who need help. Paul McNeill, a retired navy captain, was the gracious guide in this facility. A crisp salute to him. And hats off to Southwest Solutions, a nonprofit low income housing organization who created this project. Once in the Piquette museum, we were shown a short film about our city's dynamic early auto indus-try. Then, Jim, our knowledgeable and enthusiastic docent, took over. He had worked in GM engineer-ing for 37 years and is now one of the scores of volunteers who keep this facility humming. Their current project is to replace all of the wood windows in the three story plant. Many thanks to these folks who think it's quite important for the coming genera-tion to know more about the city that put the world on wheels. At one o'clock it was time for lunch. Most of us made our way to the Ivanhoe Cafe, the Polish Yacht Club. Lots of history here too--the restaurant has been open since 1909. Pattti Galen, our server, is a fourth generation member of the family that continues to present delicious ethnic food, family style. Her warm manner created a special atmosphere. (The Polish beer helped too.) All this gave seasoned De-troiters a great chance to talk about old times in our unique town. Not a bad way to spend half a day.

Ain't Love Grand
An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over to his host, 'I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names'.
The old man hung his head and said, 'Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago, and I'm scared to death to ask the cranky old bitch what her name is

Reading List Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed
husband not to count on her because she intended to nurse her mother. The cancer was fast mov-ing and Cheryl just missed being at her mother’s bedside when the end came. After her mother’s death Cheryl attempted to keep the family and her own marriage together with little success. She admits that her marriage failed because of her lies and infidelities. In her divorce decree she chose the surname Strayed, which seemed appropriate. Dur-ing the four years between her mother’s death and the beginning of her PCT hike in 1995, she moved around the US, returned to Minnesota, worked as a waitress and slept with too many men. She moved to Portland, Oregon with a boyfriend who intro-duced her to various drugs, including heroin. At her lowest point, she made the decision to tackle the Pacific Crest Trail on her own. With almost no experience in backpacking, she over packed, brought the wrong equipment, and started out without enough food or money. Her boots turned out to be too small and she lost more toenails than she kept. Despite the discomfort and exhaustion and the fear of the rattlesnakes, bears, and creepy hunters she encountered, Strayed persevered, becoming stronger and more confident as she headed north from the Mojave Desert to the Columbia River. The Readers enjoyed this memoir and most found it well written and powerful. Some thought it was somewhat salacious, questioned why she waited 15 years to write her account, and found some of the wilderness writing mundane, but these were minor-ity views. For those of you who enjoyed the movie, we recommend the book as much more powerful and affecting. Our August book is this year’s winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr. Join us at Bob Wrosch’s at 22801 Lakeshore Drive in St Clair Shores at 5 pm on August 18th.
For a copy of our booklist, email a request to [email protected].
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail” is Cheryl Strayed’s story of her solo 1,100 mile hike following the death of her mother, the breakup of her marriage and her descent into drug use and promiscuity. Like many before her, she used wilderness as a antidote for the emotional dev-astation she was experiencing. For seven consecu-tive weeks, the book was No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller list in hardcover non-fiction. It was chosen as the first selection of Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, was an Amazon Book of the Month, a Best Book of the Year selection of NPR and several other newspapers and magazines, and was made into a 2014 movie starring Reese With-erspoon and Laura Dern, both of whom received Oscar nominations. The New York Times called Wild “Spectacular . . . Gripping . . . A breathtaking adventure tale and a profound meditation on the nature of grief and survival . . . A literary and human triumph.” The Washington Post said “Incisive and telling . . . Strayed has the ineffable gift every writer longs for, of saying exactly what she means in lines that are both succinct and poetic.” and the Wall Street Journal called it “A vivid, touching, and ultimately inspiring account of a life unraveling, and of the journey that put it back together.” Although the book begins and ends with the Pacific Crest Trail, flashbacks fill in the author’s backstory. Strayed and her two siblings grew up poor in northern Minnesota and were raised by their mother Bobbi after their parents divorced when Cheryl was six. When Bobbi died of cancer at the age of 45 when Cheryl was a senior in college, Cheryl was devastated. Cheryl and Bobbi had been very close and Bobbi went back to college when Cheryl enrolled. Cheryl had married at the age of 20 and when her mother got sick, she told her
