0:00.0	Welcome to JFK in The Enduring Secret.
0:05.3	I'm your host, Jeff Crudell.
0:24.4	Hello everyone and welcome back to the podcast.
0:27.7	Today's episode is episode 302.
0:32.9	Well, maybe I should actually welcome myself back to the podcast.
0:35.8	Where have you been, Joe DiMaggio?
0:40.0	I mean, after all, it's been about a month. A few of you wondered what happened. Perhaps I'd gotten hit by a car or had a heart attack, but neither one of those
0:46.5	thankfully has occurred. It was really just life and work that got in the way. So today,
0:53.7	we're back at it, and I'm hoping to get a couple of
0:56.5	episodes out before my brother and I leave for Dallas on Thursday to go to the JFK conferences
1:02.2	that happen every year on an annual basis in Dallas. This year is going to be an especially
1:08.8	important year for me, in that it's going to be a shared experience with my older brother, Dennis.
1:14.7	Well, I'm sure we'll bring back a number of important findings that we can share with you if you're not already going or if you don't have direct access to the program itself.
1:25.2	It was a treat when I went last year for the first time,
1:28.4	and it's only going to be my third year of going to any of these conferences. I'm actually
1:34.2	going to be speaking on a panel with two very fine individuals, two folks that I'm excited to
1:39.4	spend a few minutes with during the course of the conference. That is Matt Crumpton and Joe Borrelli.
1:46.4	And generally, the topic is podcasting related to the JFK assassination and its position in this
1:53.1	new era of communications. But let's pivot to our work at hand today, which is really to
1:59.8	complete the Tippett murder series, and we're
2:02.2	getting close to the end of this series, by the way, but there's still a few topics that we need to
2:08.4	cover, and today we're going to cover one of them. Well, it's Tippett's Love Life. And to be honest
