Faye Chism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvin Faye Chism (born 1944) was a very close witness to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy within Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963.
Faye Chism, her husband, John, and their 3-year-old son, Marvin, were all standing together right up to the Dealey Plaza Elm Street north curbstone located at the eastern base of the grassy knoll. Chism was only 16' from President Kennedy at one point as he passed her during the assassination.
The Chism's were not filmed during the Zapruder film because they were hidden by the "Stemmons Freeway" sign, but, they are clearly visible in many other films, photos, and slide-photos captured before, during, and after the assassination.
Even though Faye Chism was very close to President Kennedy during the assassination, neither she (nor her husband) were ever called to testify publicly to the Warren Commission.
