Minutes after the JFK Assassination, Howard Brennan quickly reported his observations to Dallas County Sheriff's Deputies. He said he sat across from the red brick School Book Depository, seven stories high, waiting for the JFK parade. As he waited he saw a man at the east end of the building, one story from the top. The man was simply sitting in that window and looking down at the parade route. | Minutes after the JFK Assassination, Howard Brennan quickly reported his observations to Dallas County Sheriff's Deputies.
