This is a personal communication today from John Armstrong to me, and it concerns a man who was one of the few people who met both "Lee" and "Harvey" as a boy. His name was Ed Voebel.


John Armstrong: 

For what it's worth, Voebel first met LEE Oswald in Oct, 1954 (9th grade) after LEE got into a fight with Johnny Neumeyer. Voebel visited LEE and his mother at 126 Exchange Place in NO. 

In the mid-1990's I spoke for hours with Neumeyer, who was then living in Las Vegas. I also spoke with a fellow who saw the fight and also saw Robin Reilly punch LEE in the mouth the following day. He is a professor at Merrymount College in Los Angeles. It was Ed Voebel who took the infamous "classroom" photo that appears to show LEE Oswald with a knocked-out front tooth. 



I spoke with Voebel's sister a number of times. She said that her father always believed that Ed was "murdered" because of something to do with the JFK assassination and Oswald. What they didn't know, and I did not tell them, was that Ed knew HARVEY in the spring of 1954 (8th grade), and then knew LEE in the 9th grade (1954-55). One day, in 1971, Ed was ill and went to the Oscher Clinic. He called home that evening, said that he was feeling fine, and that he would return home tomorrow. The next day someone from the Oscher Clinic called and said that he died. Doris ("Sweetie Pie, her nickname) Voebel told me that when his obituary appeared in the newspaper, it said that he died in the Memorial Hospital. She never understood why the newspaper said "Memorial Hospital", when her brother died at the Oschner Clinic. Now, given what we know about Alton Oschner and his connections to Shaw, CIA, etc., we understand why the obituary showed his death at Memorial Hospital.
