President Kennedy Remains

The House Select Committee on Assassinations report stated that they believed that Robert Kennedy obtained "custody" of the brain but felt that there was no evidence to indicate that he had it reinterred with the body at Arlington. Their belief was that it was destroyed to prevent future public display.

Yes, because things that happen at night are intrinsically more sinister. This is comparable to Robert Irsay moving the Colts out of Baltimore in the wee hours of the morning. I wonder if the National Guards used Mayflower too?

Off topic here with a quick post.

When I got my first job out of college, Irsay's brother (I can't remember his name at the moment) was still working. I'm guessing that he was in his mid to late 60s. He was a HVAC vendor in the Chicago area. When I found out that he was Robert's brother, I hinted about getting some Colts tickets. Man did he hate his brother! They had a big falling out over taking care of their mother, and hadn't spoken to each other for years. He was one funny dude though. Old school all the way. Swore like hell, liked a martini lunch and thought that all of the female engineers in the office were some type of administrative assistants. :p

No, she's not. Arthur Miller had her reinterred in Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn.

You have to be kidding. Miller didn't go to the funeral. Finally, Joe DiMaggio stepped forward, claimed her and blocked her Hollywood friends from attending.

I think you're joking. :confused:

Careful, kc440, you're dealing with the Jedi master of NYC historic information.

I do think it's interesting, as trivia goes. The House Select Committee tried to trace the brain and other autopsy samples. RFK apparently did take possession of them, but he hasn't acknowledged doing so, AFAIK. My fear is that one morning Teddy told Robert, "I owe you for that stuff in the fancy decanter. I drank it last night."

I don't think a slaughtered president's brain and whereabouts constitutes "trivia."

Well I suppose it could be correctly described as "apocrypha".

But really what possible significance could it have, unless there is some wacky scheme to re-animate JFK using what's left of his pickled grey matter?
