Jack Ready, JFKs Secret Service Agent on 11.22.63, passed away last week. As far as I know, he never publicly discussed the assassination and must have felt tremendous guilt. For that reason he has mostly been forgotten. He was on car behind JFK and briefly jumped from the sideboard after the shots were fired. He was apparently instructed not to make an attempt to reach JFK because Clint Hill had jumped from the opposite side of the car and there was some danger Ready would be struck by the car as it made way for Hill.
