1/I am saddened to learn of the death of my friend #DavidLifton (1939-2022) whose #JFKassassination book "Best Evidence" caused quite the stir when it was published in 1981. 
2/David was the 1st JFK author I got to know almost 40 years ago when I called him out of the blue while still in HS. While I do not subscribe to David's theories, I always found him to be friendly and easy to get along with and we stayed in contact throughout all these years.
3/I even once went to the @USNatArchives on his behalf to view the original journal of #LeeHarveyOswald which he kept while in the Soviet Union. It was quite an experience to handle the document in person and it required wearing white gloves!
4/During the difficult years of the Trump Administration, especially given the death threats I was receiving, David was regularly sending me messages of support, which I really appreciated.
END/As those of us in the JFK community know, David has been working on a sequel for decades. I understand his research is being preserved, which will serve as part of his legacy.
RIP my friend.
RIP my friend.
