Mr. Willis. All my life, with the exception of my military service.
Mr. Liebeler. How long have you lived here in Dallas?
Mr. Willis. Since April 1, 1960.
Mr. Liebeler. What business are you engaged in, or by whom are you employed?
Mr. Willis. I am a retired major, Air Force, disabled World War II, and I am on disability retirement from the Air Force. I am an independent real estate broker.
Mr. Liebeler. It is my understanding that you were in the vicinity of the Texas School Book Depository Building on November 22, 1963, at the time of the assassination; is that correct?
Mr. Willis. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Can you tell me where you were and what you saw happen, and what you did at that time?
Mr. Willis. I had a driver drop my family and I in the parkway so that we could have a chance to get a good view of the President's party, having taken my children out of school for the occasion. We were told by the policeman that they were coming down from Main Street approaching the area on Main, and I stood at the corner of Main and Houston and watched them approach. I am an amateur photographer, a poor one, but we wanted to get some good colored pictures of the President. So I photographed the President coming in front of the courthouse and making the turn onto Houston Street.
Mr. Liebeler. Where did you station yourself at first? Were you at the corner, you say?
