July 18, 2009, I rented a bike in New Orleans and made lots of pictures of places related to Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy. Some are definitely important in his life, others are subject of speculation; so many stories have been told during the past 45 years... My name is Perry Vermeulen, born Dec. 08, 1982. I wrote two books on the assassination in 2008 and 2012, only published in the Netherlands. More information on www.leeharveyoswald.nl and on www.50jaarlater.nl. Enjoy the photo's - please contact me if you'd like to use them on a website or in a publication: perry_vermeulen@hotmail.com My journey through the US (roughly Chicago-St. Louis-Memphis-New Orleans) can be seen on the 91 pictures here. Best wishes, <-- Me standing in Lafayette Square, New Orleans. On the left, behind the statue, is the location of the Newman Building, where Banister had his office. |

500 Bourbon Street. Once the location of The 500 Club, a joint owned by mob Carlos Marcello. Oswald was here on several occasions, according to Judyth Vary Baker and others.

The corner of Camp and Lafayette, once the location of the Newman Building, where Banister had his office. "We called it the Banister Building", says Judyth Vary Baker.

The corner of Camp and Canal, once the location of the International Trade Mart. At this corner Oswald handed out his leaflets to passengers. It's a pity the beautiful building doesn't exist anymore, in my opinion.

In 2007 Edward Haslam published Dr. Mary's Monkey, an updated account on the death of Mary Sherman. Haslam believes that Sherman was involved in carrying out secret research into developing a vaccine to prevent an epidemic of soft-tissue cancers caused by polio vaccine contaminated with SV-40. This work included using a linear particle accelerator located in the Infectious Disease Laboratory at the Public Health Service Hospital in New Orleans - shown on this photo and the next one. |
