Kirby, I used to deliver groceries to Judith Campbell Exner in my
first job working at The Balboa Market when I was 14.
I'm not exactly sure of the year but it was right around the height
of Judith Exner's notoriety that she had rented a home on the
bayfront near the end of the Balboa Peninsula. She was clearly in
fear for her life which was apparent when I would arrive with groceries.
There I would be met by a ferocious Doberman guard dog and a Body
Guard. I would be led in to where I would meet Ms. Campbell Exner
inside the home. I recall quite clearly that she was a strikingly
handsome woman. I would guess her to be in her early 40's. She was
very kind and
would make a point to hug me when I left as I had become a fairly
regular visitor and from all indications she rarely had many, if any,
visitors at all.
I can't imagine what she was going through, but there was clearly a
sense of fear present even inside, as if this wonderful home was no
more than a
geographically advantaged prison. The unspoken air about her was one
of needing to escape or be rescued. I remember the palpable feeling
of anxiety in that house so I once asked her if she was okay. When
she reacted, the weight of all that worried her was etched in her wry
smile.
JFK had been dead for years. Giancana had just been murdered. And
here she was. There was no okay available. There was no unringing
this bell.

ps: here's a link to this fascinating tale of JFK and Giancana, and
the woman they shared. The truth, as in all things, will likely
never be known:

His old partner, Dan Rowan, was wiretapped by a private
detective, who was working for Sam Giancana, when he dared
to date Giancana's girlfriend, Phyllis McGuire, of the McGuire
sisters. This was recently written about in THE ROAD TO DALLAS
a study of the Kennedy Assassination by David Kaiser, a professor
at the Naval War College. Kaiser who meticulously combed thousands
of pages of released FBI files on the assassination paints a pretty
convincing
picture that JFK was the victim of a conspiracy hatched by the Mob and
crazy Cubans. But Lee Harvey Oswald WAS the trigger man and he
was not the loner nut case that the Warren commission depicted or the
hapless victim of the entertaining but fantastical film by Oliver
Stone.
