Following the words of late president John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country," four current SRU students and one alumnus are helping to unravel the mystery behind the late president's assassination.

Since 1995, JFK Lancer Productions and Publications has been sharing information about the Kennedy assassination to the public and since January, SRU students Danielle Wimer, Holly Evanoski, Leslie Mead and Neil Schaffer and former student Dean O'Brokta, a 2007 graduate, have been contributing to the organization.

The JFK Lancer organization is a research company that has been sharing the news and research about the assassination that its members have discovered. They gather and share details and theories dealing with the assassination of Kennedy, which occurred on Nov. 22, 1963, as well as the Kennedy administration and the Kennedy family.

Thomas Pearcy, a professor of history at SRU who teaches a course about the assassination, got the five students interested in becoming a part of the JFK Lancer group.

Wimer, a 21-year-old senior history major and student group leader, said that the members will spend free time looking for new information or issues dealing with the assassination or the Kennedy family.

The student members get together about once a week to go over what each of them has learned or to talk about the subject.

Wimer said the student group helps out Lancer by writing articles, creating blogs and posting information. Instead of getting a certain topic to write an article about, they write about the information they discover.
