re: Lipsey with additional shot at F King..

Dude’s been everywhere, including JFK’s autopsy.

JFK/Lipsey

quote:

---

Richard received an Army Commission from LSU in 1961 and after leaving Fort Polk he was assigned as assistant to Major General Philip C Wehle in Washington, DC. Lieutenant Lipsey was there during the time of the assassination of John F Kennedy and was in fact selected to be one of the few to actually witness the autopsy of the president. Lipsey was responsible for watching the body of President Kennedy and years later he had to describe to the House Committee on Assassinations what he witnessed in that procedure. Importantly, this puts long-time Baton Rouge resident Richard Lipsey’s name in the annals of American history.

He took over as the owner of Steinbergs Sports Centers in Baton Rouge from his father. Maybe one of the first large sporting goods retailer in the city. The building still stands right near The Pastime Lounge.
