Headline: A Tale of Two Funerals: Burial and Delusion
Summary: While the world watched JFK’s funeral, a small group buried Lee Harvey Oswald, with reporters serving as pallbearers. The Gregory family’s Thanksgiving was overshadowed by the trauma and Margarite Oswald’s erratic behavior, as she clashed with agents and insisted on her son's innocence.
Article: As the nation mourned President Kennedy, Marina and Margarite struggled to bury Lee in a grim ceremony where reporters had to carry the coffin, with Marina devastated by the contrast between her husband's end and the televised images of the Kennedy family. The Gregory family spent a foggy Thanksgiving recovering from the ordeal, discussing Margarite's delusional assertions that she was being persecuted by the very Secret Service agents trying to protect her, behavior that highlighted the dysfunction she passed down to her son.
