Troy Eugene West was the only full time mail wrapper at the TSBD. His permanent place of work was at what he described as a “mail wrapping table” on the first floor.

West gave his Warren Commission testimony before Assistant Counsel David W. Belin in Dallas on 8th April 1964.

“I never did hardly ever leave the first floor. That is just I stayed there where my work was, and I just stayed there.”  At 12.30pm on Friday 22nd November 1963, West was sitting at his work table, eating his lunch. He did not hear any shots and the first he knew of anything untoward was when “the police and things was coming in, and I was just spellbound. I just didn’t know what was the matter”
