Eyewitness To A Bullethole In The Windshield of JFK's Limo At Parkland
Dr. Evalea "Lea" Glanges was the Greek American daughter of James John Glanges and Lottie Mae Bell. Her father was a Greek immigrant (original surname spelling "Glantzis"/"Γλαντζήs," who emigrated to Ft Worth in 1912 and was naturalized in 1923 in Waco. According to his WWII Draft card he was born in "Laurion" (also known as Laurium, Lavrio and Lavrion) a small city on a bay on the southeastern Aegean coast of Attica - southeast of Athens and about 10km north of the breathtaking and world famous, Cape of Sounion/Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon. Since the Bronze Age, Laurium was famous for its abundant silver mines which provided coinage and wealth for the Athenian State.
Evalea's father was a chef and café owner - early on he worked as a cook at Theo's Café in FTW, and later on he was chef at Worth Café in Dallas. Her mother was born in Kentucky and worked as a binder in a print shop. Both had high school degrees. She had one sister, who survived her, Joanna.
Born in Dallas, Evalea was a prominent Forth Worth surgeon, and for several years in the late '90s, Chairperson of Surgery Department at the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, and had countless professional associations, memberships and honors (see her lengthy, detailed obit for her complete, and extraordinary, professional bio).
She graduated from North Dallas HS in 1958 as valedictorian of her class. She was the editor of the school paper, the Viking, a member of the National Honor Society, the Junior Red Cross, the Junior Classical League, the tennis team, and a plethora of other activities. She then obtained her BS and Masters Degrees from UT Austin and her M.D. from Southwestern Medical University in Dallas in 1966.
As a 2nd year medical student at Southwestern Medical University, she was present outside Parkland Hospital Emergency Room on 11/22/63, when President Kennedy was assassinated, and became an eyewitness to the unfolding events - and to critical evidence (details below). She can be seen in many historic photographs and films shot that day, standing just outside the ambulance bay in a group of medical professionals wearing white lab coats.
She was married very briefly in Dallas on July 1, 1967 to a fellow physician, Dr. Tommy Gene Gleghorn. They were both grads of Southwestern Medical School. They divorced 9 months later in April 1968, and she reverted to her maiden name thereafter.
According to her obituary she was survived by her life partner, Dr. Bena Tomlinson.

Dr. Glanges Was an Eyewitness to Key Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination
On November 22, 1963, Evalea was a second-year medical student at Southwestern Medical University training at Parkland Hospital, when President Kennedy was assassinated and transported to Parkland Hospital for treatment. She and many other students and staff ran around to the Emergency Room ambulance bay area to witness the tragic events. She can be seen in several prominent photos and films of the crowd outside the ER ambulance bay in which the Presidential limousine was parked. She was wearing a long white lab coat and had shoulder length brown hair (I have identified her in photos and film).
In 2003, after a lifetime as a surgeon and Chief of Surgery in Fort Worth, she bravely came forward as one of numerous eyewitnesses to a bullet hole in the windshield of the Presidential limousine. She gave her account in an episode of the History Channel documentary series, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy," for which she has my most profound respect.
She reported that she, and a fellow friend/med student, both saw a through-and-through bullet hole in the windshield (her friend wished to remain anonymous for the film). As a lifelong sportswoman, highly experienced with firearms, there was no doubt in her mind, that from the characteristics of the bullet hole, the bullet had struck the windshield from in front of the limo. As she stated in the film:
"I was a 2nd year medical student at Southwestern Medical University in Dallas, Texas. We ran around the side of the building to the Emergency Room exit, and the Presidential limousine was there. Had been standing there for some time just watching the back of the Emergency Room, when I realized that there was a *bullet hole* in the windshield. Talked to my friend standing next to me, and said, 'Look there's a *bullet hole* in the windshield!' and pointed it out to them. At the time I did not know any of the details of the shooting. I was quite shocked when I looked up and saw the *bullet hole*. But it was very clear - it was a through-and-through *bullet hole* through the windshield of the car - from front to back. I don't believe there were even any cracks associated with that bullet hole. It seemed like a high-velocity bullet that had penetrated - from front to back - in that glass pane. At which point, a security officer of some type raced forward and jumped in the limousine and drove it off - even as I was leaning against it - to an area back of us somewhere. And that was the last time I saw the limousine."
See her filmed account here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TisPzyrM-0
She was not alone. Several other highly reputable eyewitnesses also saw the bullet hole while the limo was parked at Parkland. The list included two renowned journalists, Richard Dudman with the St Louis Post Dispatch, and Frank Cormier with the AP, who published several accounts in newspapers and magazines of seeing the bullet hole in the limo's windshield while it was parked in the emergency bay at Parkland.
Dudman, then Washington Bureau Chief for The Post-Dispatch, who died at age 99 in 2017 after a storied, 75-year career, filed his contemporaneous account of the assassination in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, writing of the bullet hole:
"Some of us noticed the hole in the front window. We were pushed away by Secret Service Agents when we wanted to examine the hole." and...
"A few of us noted the hole in the windshield when the limousine was standing at the emergency entrance after the President had been carried inside. I could not approach close enough to see which side was the cup-shaped spot which indicates a bullet had pierced the glass from the opposite side."
Nearly a month after the assassination, Dudman and Cormier's account of the bullet hole was referenced in an article "Seeds of Doubt - Some Questions about the Assassination" by Minnis & Lynd in The New Republic on December 21, 1963, which detailed numerous discrepancies in the evidence, in which the authors asked:
"Finally, what is the explanation of the reports of Frank Cormier of the AP and of Richard Dudman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of a small hole in the windshield of the President's limousine?"
Dudman was soon flown to Washington, DC, where he was pressured about his articles, became fearful, and refused to speak further about the bullet hole to researchers. One lawyer and JFK researcher who tried to interview him said he was "absolutely terrified" after that, and refused to be interviewed when he saw the tape recorder come out.
On the website of renowned JFK researcher, Secret Service expert and author, Vince Palamara, we are provided with this astonishing clipping of a report filed by the Associated Press in Washington, D.C., Dec 3, 1963, which reports:
"...The only sign of damage [to the limo] is an unexplained bullet hole in the windshield."
See here: https://vincepalamara.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/dscf2259.jpg
In addition, two DPD motorcade escort officers, veteran Officer Stavis Ellis, and Officer Harold R. Freeman, had also seen the bullet hole after they escorted the motorcade to Parkland ER. Ellis told interviewer Gil Toff in 1971:
"There was a hole in the left front windshield…You could put a pencil through it…you could take a regular standard writing pencil…and stick it through there."
Freeman corroborated this, saying:
"I was right beside it. I could of [sic] touched it…it was a bullet hole. You could tell what it was."
Secret Service SA Charles Taylor, Jr. accompanied the limo back to D.C. and detailed his activities providing security for the limousine immediately after the car's return to Washington following the assassination in a report to SAIC Harry W. Geiglein, on November 27, 1963. The JFK limousine and the Secret Service follow-up car known as the "Queen Mary" arrived at Andrews AFB aboard a C-130 propeller-driven cargo plane at about 8:00 PM on November 22, 1963. Agent Taylor rode in the Presidential limousine as it was driven from Andrews AFB to the White House garage at 22nd and M Streets, N.W. In his official report about what he witnessed inside the White House garage during the vehicle's inspection, SA Taylor wrote:
"In addition, of particular note was the small hole just left of center in the windshield from which what appeared to be bullet fragments were removed."
A hole was also reported by US Park Policeman Nick Prencipe, who examined the limo in the White House Secret Service garage in the early morning of 11/23.
In August 2013, renowned Secret Service expert and author of multiple books on the Secret Service, Vince Palamara, published another account of a hole in the windshield by JFK's Secret Service SA Joseph Paolella as follows:
"...Joe was the Secret Service agent responsible for guarding JFK's limousine after the shooting. He noticed a bullet hole through the front windshield and never told anyone about this. About 40 years later, the first and only person he ever told was his good friend Dr John."
The story of the hole in the windshield has been suppressed and covered up from the very beginning, and a different windshield with cracks but no hole has been put in the National Archives.
Dr. Glanges, and the other eyewitnesses, have bravely come forward to provide this explosive, key evidence that destroys the Warren Commission's belatedly manufactured "single bullet theory," and moreover, their theory of Lee Harvey Oswald as "the lone assassin". Evidence which proves President Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy by at least two gunmen - at least one of which, was positioned somewhere in front of the limousine.
In the last two and a half decades, modern, scientifically-based, forensic crime scene techniques - only developed in recent decades and not even dreamed of in 1963 - were finally employed in the case by Sherry Fiester, a Certified Senior Crime Scene Analyst and court certified expert in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. In her book, "Enemy of The Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination" (2014), she concluded the head shot that killed JFK, and probably the throat shot as well, was executed by an assassin located, not on the infamous "Grassy Knoll" on the north side of Dealey Plaza, but the opposing knoll on the south side of the Plaza, known as the "South Knoll".
In summary, people were pressured and fearful of publishing or speaking up about this key assassination evidence, fearing for their careers or even their lives. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to Dr. Evalea Glanges who had the moral compass and immense courage to come forward with her account of this key bombshell evidence.

Born in Dallas, Evalea was a prominent Forth Worth surgeon, and for several years in the late '90s, Chairperson of Surgery Department at the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, and had countless professional associations, memberships and honors (see her lengthy, detailed obit for her complete, and extraordinary, professional bio).
She graduated from North Dallas HS in 1958 as valedictorian of her class. She was the editor of the school paper, the Viking, a member of the National Honor Society, the Junior Red Cross, the Junior Classical League, the tennis team, and a plethora of other activities. She then obtained her BS and Masters Degrees from UT Austin and her M.D. from Southwestern Medical University in Dallas in 1966.
As a 2nd year medical student at Southwestern Medical University, she was present outside Parkland Hospital Emergency Room on 11/22/63, when President Kennedy was assassinated, and became an eyewitness to the unfolding events - and to critical evidence (details below). She can be seen in many historic photographs and films shot that day, standing just outside the ambulance bay in a group of medical professionals wearing white lab coats.
She was married very briefly in Dallas on July 1, 1967 to a fellow physician, Dr. Tommy Gene Gleghorn. They were both grads of Southwestern Medical School. They divorced 9 months later in April 1968, and she reverted to her maiden name thereafter.
According to her obituary she was survived by her life partner, Dr. Bena Tomlinson.

Dr. Glanges Was an Eyewitness to Key Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination
On November 22, 1963, Evalea was a second-year medical student at Southwestern Medical University training at Parkland Hospital, when President Kennedy was assassinated and transported to Parkland Hospital for treatment. She and many other students and staff ran around to the Emergency Room ambulance bay area to witness the tragic events. She can be seen in several prominent photos and films of the crowd outside the ER ambulance bay in which the Presidential limousine was parked. She was wearing a long white lab coat and had shoulder length brown hair (I have identified her in photos and film).
In 2003, after a lifetime as a surgeon and Chief of Surgery in Fort Worth, she bravely came forward as one of numerous eyewitnesses to a bullet hole in the windshield of the Presidential limousine. She gave her account in an episode of the History Channel documentary series, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy," for which she has my most profound respect.
She reported that she, and a fellow friend/med student, both saw a through-and-through bullet hole in the windshield (her friend wished to remain anonymous for the film). As a lifelong sportswoman, highly experienced with firearms, there was no doubt in her mind, that from the characteristics of the bullet hole, the bullet had struck the windshield from in front of the limo. As she stated in the film:
"I was a 2nd year medical student at Southwestern Medical University in Dallas, Texas. We ran around the side of the building to the Emergency Room exit, and the Presidential limousine was there. Had been standing there for some time just watching the back of the Emergency Room, when I realized that there was a *bullet hole* in the windshield. Talked to my friend standing next to me, and said, 'Look there's a *bullet hole* in the windshield!' and pointed it out to them. At the time I did not know any of the details of the shooting. I was quite shocked when I looked up and saw the *bullet hole*. But it was very clear - it was a through-and-through *bullet hole* through the windshield of the car - from front to back. I don't believe there were even any cracks associated with that bullet hole. It seemed like a high-velocity bullet that had penetrated - from front to back - in that glass pane. At which point, a security officer of some type raced forward and jumped in the limousine and drove it off - even as I was leaning against it - to an area back of us somewhere. And that was the last time I saw the limousine."

She was not alone. Several other highly reputable eyewitnesses also saw the bullet hole while the limo was parked at Parkland. The list included two renowned journalists, Richard Dudman with the St Louis Post Dispatch, and Frank Cormier with the AP, who published several accounts in newspapers and magazines of seeing the bullet hole in the limo's windshield while it was parked in the emergency bay at Parkland.
Dudman, then Washington Bureau Chief for The Post-Dispatch, who died at age 99 in 2017 after a storied, 75-year career, filed his contemporaneous account of the assassination in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, writing of the bullet hole:
"Some of us noticed the hole in the front window. We were pushed away by Secret Service Agents when we wanted to examine the hole." and...
"A few of us noted the hole in the windshield when the limousine was standing at the emergency entrance after the President had been carried inside. I could not approach close enough to see which side was the cup-shaped spot which indicates a bullet had pierced the glass from the opposite side."
Nearly a month after the assassination, Dudman and Cormier's account of the bullet hole was referenced in an article "Seeds of Doubt - Some Questions about the Assassination" by Minnis & Lynd in The New Republic on December 21, 1963, which detailed numerous discrepancies in the evidence, in which the authors asked:
"Finally, what is the explanation of the reports of Frank Cormier of the AP and of Richard Dudman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of a small hole in the windshield of the President's limousine?"
Dudman was soon flown to Washington, DC, where he was pressured about his articles, became fearful, and refused to speak further about the bullet hole to researchers. One lawyer and JFK researcher who tried to interview him said he was "absolutely terrified" after that, and refused to be interviewed when he saw the tape recorder come out.
On the website of renowned JFK researcher, Secret Service expert and author, Vince Palamara, we are provided with this astonishing clipping of a report filed by the Associated Press in Washington, D.C., Dec 3, 1963, which reports:
"...The only sign of damage [to the limo] is an unexplained bullet hole in the windshield."

In addition, two DPD motorcade escort officers, veteran Officer Stavis Ellis, and Officer Harold R. Freeman, had also seen the bullet hole after they escorted the motorcade to Parkland ER. Ellis told interviewer Gil Toff in 1971:
"There was a hole in the left front windshield…You could put a pencil through it…you could take a regular standard writing pencil…and stick it through there."
Freeman corroborated this, saying:
"I was right beside it. I could of [sic] touched it…it was a bullet hole. You could tell what it was."
Secret Service SA Charles Taylor, Jr. accompanied the limo back to D.C. and detailed his activities providing security for the limousine immediately after the car's return to Washington following the assassination in a report to SAIC Harry W. Geiglein, on November 27, 1963. The JFK limousine and the Secret Service follow-up car known as the "Queen Mary" arrived at Andrews AFB aboard a C-130 propeller-driven cargo plane at about 8:00 PM on November 22, 1963. Agent Taylor rode in the Presidential limousine as it was driven from Andrews AFB to the White House garage at 22nd and M Streets, N.W. In his official report about what he witnessed inside the White House garage during the vehicle's inspection, SA Taylor wrote:
"In addition, of particular note was the small hole just left of center in the windshield from which what appeared to be bullet fragments were removed."
A hole was also reported by US Park Policeman Nick Prencipe, who examined the limo in the White House Secret Service garage in the early morning of 11/23.
In August 2013, renowned Secret Service expert and author of multiple books on the Secret Service, Vince Palamara, published another account of a hole in the windshield by JFK's Secret Service SA Joseph Paolella as follows:
"...Joe was the Secret Service agent responsible for guarding JFK's limousine after the shooting. He noticed a bullet hole through the front windshield and never told anyone about this. About 40 years later, the first and only person he ever told was his good friend Dr John."
The story of the hole in the windshield has been suppressed and covered up from the very beginning, and a different windshield with cracks but no hole has been put in the National Archives.
Dr. Glanges, and the other eyewitnesses, have bravely come forward to provide this explosive, key evidence that destroys the Warren Commission's belatedly manufactured "single bullet theory," and moreover, their theory of Lee Harvey Oswald as "the lone assassin". Evidence which proves President Kennedy was assassinated as the result of a conspiracy by at least two gunmen - at least one of which, was positioned somewhere in front of the limousine.
In the last two and a half decades, modern, scientifically-based, forensic crime scene techniques - only developed in recent decades and not even dreamed of in 1963 - were finally employed in the case by Sherry Fiester, a Certified Senior Crime Scene Analyst and court certified expert in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida. In her book, "Enemy of The Truth: Myths, Forensics, and the Kennedy Assassination" (2014), she concluded the head shot that killed JFK, and probably the throat shot as well, was executed by an assassin located, not on the infamous "Grassy Knoll" on the north side of Dealey Plaza, but the opposing knoll on the south side of the Plaza, known as the "South Knoll".
In summary, people were pressured and fearful of publishing or speaking up about this key assassination evidence, fearing for their careers or even their lives. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to Dr. Evalea Glanges who had the moral compass and immense courage to come forward with her account of this key bombshell evidence.

Rest in Peace...
