Då hamnar vi nog i Lincoln, England?
Visst är det Lincoln i England!
Ber om ursäkt för videon med den gamle gubben som bevittnat mordet på Lincoln, det blev lite för lätt kanske. Samtidigt var det lurigt i den bemärkelsen att ledtråden kombinerades med en video på Kennedymordet. Hur kom mordet på Kennedy in i bilden då? Jo...
1. Kennedy åkte i en
Lincoln Continental när han blev skjuten.
Bilen, en cabriolet av 1961 års modell, hade givits kodnamnet SS-100-X av Secret Service.
Den hade modifierats av Ford (bilmärket Lincoln ägs av Ford) för sitt syfte som presidentbil:
Citat:
SS-100-X was originally a standard 1961 Lincoln Continental four door convertible (model 74A) built by the Ford Motor Company and assembled at the Wixom, Michigan plant. It had a retail price of $7,347 (equivalent to $61,599, as of 2018).
The car was moved to the Experimental Garage at the Ford Proving Grounds where an additional 41 inches was added between the front and rear doors and just beyond the rear doors. The car's frame was strengthened to accommodate the additional length and weight. It was painted a special navy blue color and taken to Hess & Eisenhardt of Cincinnati, Ohio, for reupholstering and further modifications to Secret Service specifications. During the refit the car had no bulletproof or bullet-resistant additions added. The windshield remained the standard two-ply safety glass which could be easily replaced at any dealership.

Märkligt nog togs bilen ej ur bruk efter mordet utan användes av Kennedys efterträdare LBJ som presidentbil ända fram till 1967. I dag står den på museum. Den norskättade Secret Service-agenten Clint Hill som hoppar upp på bilens baklucka i samband med attentatet lever än i dag faktiskt.
Citat:
Hill was born in Larimore, North Dakota, to a Norwegian mother, Alma Pettersen. His birth parents homesteaded near Roseglen. At three months of age, he was placed in an orphanage in Fargo, where he was adopted by another Norwegian family Chris and Jennie Hill of Fargo. Originally named "Haugen", the family later changed its name to the English version of the name; "Haugen" means "the hill" in Norwegian.

4. Thomas Pownall står listad under rubriken "Notable people" i Wikipediaartikeln om Lincoln. Pownall var Massachusetts Bay-provinsens brittiske guvernör. Provinsen omfattade det som i dagens USA är Maine och Massachusetts.
Han var polare med Benjamin Franklin:
Citat:
After the conference Pownall returned to Philadelphia. In this time he apparently deepened a close friendship with Franklin, with whom he began to invest in business ventures. Franklin, who had unsuccessfully proposed colonial union at the Albany conference, may have contributed to Pownall's writings, although the exact nature of his influence is unclear.

Citat:
He regularly received visitors from the colonies, and Benjamin Franklin, his old friend from Pennsylvania, was a frequent guest.

Citat:
Thomas Pownall was the eldest son of William and Sarah (Burniston) Pownall, daughter of John Burniston. His father was a country gentleman and soldier whose poor health and early death in 1735 caused the family to fall upon hard times. Baptised 4 September 1722 (New Style) in Lincoln, England, Thomas was educated at Lincoln Grammar School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1743.
