Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

The 46th senior member of the Oswald Innocence Campaign is Dr. Ward Dean. Dr. Dean is a medical doctor, and he is the second medical doctor to join the OIC. 

And, I can honestly say that Ward Dean is the most brilliant medical doctor I know. He has vast knowledge of orthodox medicine but also vast knowledge of complementary medicine. He is one of those people who has an encyclopedic mind. 

And what a life he has lived. Dr. Dean graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1967. As an infantry officer, he graduated from the U.S. Army Airborne and Ranger schools, and later the Korean Ranger School. He served as an instructor at the U.S. Army Mountain Ranger School in north Georgia.

Ward is a parachutist, a skilled scuba and hard-hat diver, is fluent in Korean, Vietnamese and Spanish. He was a member of the U.S. Army Pentathlon Team, a U.S. Army Ranger Instructor, and was an adviser to the Vietnamese Rangers in combat on the Cambodian border.

Dr. Dean received his M.D. degree from Han Yang University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea, and M.S. degree  in Physiology from Kyung Buk University, Taegu, Korea. He finished his post-graduate training at the Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, the U.S. Navy Aerospace Medical Institute, Pensacola, FL, and at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, San Antonio, TX.

After completing the U.S. Army and Navy Flight Surgeon courses, and the U.S. Navy and Canadian Diving Medical Officers Courses, Dr. Dean spent the next seven years as an Army Flight Surgeon and Diving Medical Officer, including three years as the Flight Surgeon for America’s top-secret counterterrorist unit, Delta Force, where he participated in a number of classified missions.

After serving six years as Naval Flight Surgeon in Pensacola, Florida, Dr. Dean retired as a commander in 1996. In private practice, Dr. Dean has been deeply involved in gerontological research, pioneering and practicing the now burgeoning field of anti-aging and life extension medicine.

Dr. Dean has spearheaded the development of means to measure the physiological and biochemical effects of aging, as described in his book, Biological Aging Measurement, a compendium of aging measurement systems developed by researchers around the world. The book was (and still is) the most comprehensive compilation of biomarkers and aging measurement systems ever published.

Concerning the JFK assassination, Dr. Dean has been a JFK truther for a very long time, and he has written critically about the JFK autopsy performed by Drs. Humes and Boswell.  Dr. Dean is among the doctors I have consulted with concerning the anatomical comparisons relating to the images, and he has always been very generous to me with his time. It is an honor to have Ward Dean as the 46th senior member of the Oswald Innocence Campaign.
