Ovid Demaris

I've received a couple of e-mails from a relative of Ovid Demaris, and they've contained some fascinating information.  Here's an example: "Did you know, he was 20 feet away from Lee Harvy Oswald when he was shot by Jack Ruby?  True store!  In the footage of the shooting, just as they are bringing him into the hallway to get into the truck that is to haul him away, you can see my Grandfather running across the room, in front of the filming camara, holding a camara himself."    

[For those who don't know, Demaris was the author of several bestselling hardcovers, such as The Green Felt Jungle) and of course quite a few Gold Medal titles.]
