In 1953 Abraham Zapruder moved to Dallas and joined with Jeanne LeGon to form the clothing design firm called, Nardis of Dallas. Jeanne LeGon designed the clothing and Abraham Zapruder cut the patterns and the material for her. In 1959 the partnership broke up when Jeanne LeGon married George De Mohrenschildt.

Message from Gary Mack:

Zapruder and LeGon didn't FORM Nardis of Dallas, they were employed by the long-established firm, which was so large that the odds of them even knowing each other are small. I recall one Dallas history source suggesting the company had more than 100 employees. So before anyone starts a conspiracy theory based on Nardis, they need to research the company.

wow, now THOSE are surely Fortune 500 number, 100 employees.... LMAO!

To me, in my ignorance, I suppose, John's statement above, if true, is one more astonishing coincidence. For the above response to ignore the subtext of John's post in order to focus immediately on tangential lines i.e researching the company - is, to my mind, alarming. Though it mightn't be a bad idea to research the company - the few lines typed by John above are pregnant with possibility.

If what John says is true and even if it is not exactly correct then in 6-7 years working in same 'large' company of over 100 people I would absolutely expect that LeGon and Zapruder knew each other. If I were interested in any way with the assassination of JFK I would, amongst other things, be more concerned that in a country of several hundred million a person who worked with Zapruder, in a company in Dallas, married de Mohrenschildt.

This info is contained at this site also - can anyone verify the claims made by the site and by John? The rebuttal by the 6th floor, seems aware of and accepting of the information, yet misdirects the researcher.

It's the first time I've heard this and I find it truly...coincidental

I worked for a company that had around 180 employees in the same building and I knew every single person by first and last name.

For Gary to say they probably didnt know each other after 7 years of working for the same company is crazy

So before anyone starts a conspiracy theory based on Nardis, they need to research the company.
For Gary to assume to tell anyone what or what not that they should do is his own conspiracy....

here you go Dean.......thanks for posting your link mine would not take...scheesh....Fw: monk

The following may be of interest to those who would seek a glimpse at the beginning, even though it tends to raise questions about the only piece of evidence that we know is real, intact, unaltered, and 100% without blemish. Qualities that are curiously absent from the character of the one who filmed it...


Consider:


Abraham Zapruder-White Russian affiliation, 32nd degree Mason, active MEMBER of 2 CIA Proprietary Organizations: The Dallas Council On World Affairs and The Crusade For A Free Europe;


These two organizations were CIA (backed) Domestic Operations in Dallas whose membership included:


Abraham Zapruder, Clint Murchison (owner of the Dallas Cowboys at that time) , Mr. Byrd, (owner of the Texas School Book Depository), Sarah Hughes, who swore LBJ in as the 36th President while Air Force One was still on the ground in Dallas, George DeMohrenschildt, (CIA contract agent AND best friend of LHO), George Bush (also close friend of George DeMohrenschildt), Neil Mallon, (mentor that Bush named his son, Neil, after), H.L. Hunt, & Demitri Von Mohrenschildt (George D's brother).


In 1953 and 1954 a woman named, Jeanne LeGon worked SIDE by SIDE with Abraham Zapruder at a high end clothing design firm called, Nardis of Dallas. Jeanne LeGon designed the clothing and Abraham Zapruder cut the patterns and the material for her.


Incidentally, Abraham Zapruder's obituary mis-states the date/year that he departed Nardis of Dallas, incorrectly citing 1949. The correct year was 1959, [the same year that his "partner in design" Jeanne LeGon became known as, Jean LeGon DeMohrenschildt... She had married Lee Oswald's BEST FRIEND (to be), CIA Contract Agent, George DeMohrenschildt!]


Lyndon Baines Johnson's personal secretary, Marie Fehmer, who flew back to Washington on Air Force One with LBJ on 11-22-1963, just happens to be the daughter of Olga Fehmer, currently living in Tyler, Texas. Olga Fehmer ALSO worked at Nardis of Dallas with Abraham Zapruder and Jean LeGon DeMohrenshildt.


Quick Review:


Olga Fehmer, the mother of LBJ's future personal secretary, (Marie) worked closely with the man who would later capture the assassination on film: Abraham Zapruder, in the same city of Dallas.


George DeMohrenschildt's future wife Jeanne LeGon, also worked at NARDIS of Dallas, the city in which LHO's best friend and rabid anti-communist White Russian, George DeMohrenshildt - would convince Lee Oswald and his White Russian wife, Marina, to eventually reside.


The Oswald's spent time together in the Soviet Union during their "courtship" -- much if not most of that time was spent in the city of Minsk, which is where George DeMohrenshildt and his brother, Demitri Von Mohrenschildt, grew up, after fleeing the place of their birth, Mozyr, which was often mistakenly thought to have been a part of Poland.


Abraham Zapruder's co-worker, Jeanne LeGon and her husband George DeMohrenschildt introduced Lee Oswald to the daughter of one of George DeMohrenshildt's close friends, Ruth Paine. Ruth Paine's husband , Michael, whose step-father, Arthur Young collaborated with none other than Lyndon Baines Johnson's personal pilot, Joseph Mashman, to develop "BELL" helicopter (Fort Worth, Texas), was employed by Bell at the time of the assassination. 3,000-5,000 BELL helicopters were lost in Viet Nam and BELL's stockholders made a fortune replacing them.


In September of 1976, George DeMohrenschildt was subjected to 9 electro-shock treatments at Parkland Hospital under the order given by one, Doctor DeLoach... first cousin of FBI Assisstant Director Cartha D. "Deke" DeLoach. His "doctor of record", Dr. Mendoza, ordered the administration of intravenous "drugs" upon DeMohrenschildt's being committed to Parkland Hospital for, "mental problems" - but, it was DeLoach that ordered the Electro-Shock Therapy. This episode occured during the time that George Bush was the Director of Central Intelligence and within weeks of DeMohrenshildt's having written a manuscript for a book entitled, "I Am A Patsy! I Am A Patsy!" which named names of various CIA and FBI personnel who framed Oswald to cover their tracks in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.


There is an "extant" version of this manuscript floating around the net [which is possibly a creation of a good forgerer like E. H. HUNT].


On March 29, 1977... the same day DeMohrenschildt agreed to an interview with the HSCA, George DeMohrenschildt was found dead of a shotgun blast through his mouth by his daughter, Alexandra. His death was ruled a suicide.


In 1964, a CIA report states that: "[she] was being monitored by CIA's James Jesus Angleton because she was having an affair with Mohammed al Fayed shortly after the JFK assassination..." James Jesus Angleton's name is signed at the bottom of that 41 page report. Under his signature is that of CIA asset, Jane Roman. Roman was the CIA agent who the record shows was charged with "monitoring" the movements of one, Lee Harvey Oswald, for the two months preceding the assassination.


Miscellaneous:


George Bush's roomate at Andover and Yale, who subsequently enlisted with him into the Navy was Demitri Von Mohrenschildt's step-son, Edward Gordon Hooker.


George DeMohrenschildt was business partners with Mohammed al Fayed and Clamar J. Charles in Haiti, while working for Clint Murchison's Haitian interests. He also worked for Murchison's Three States Oil & Gas Co.


Jackie Kennedy grew up calling George DeMohrenschildt, "Uncle George" -- as her mother Janet Auchincloss nearly married him after she had dated him during her divorce from Jackie's father, Black Jack Bouvier.


At one time, DeMohrenschildt actually was engaged to be married to Jackie's mother's sister, (Jackie's aunt), Michelle.


George Bush has selective Altzheimer's regarding his where abouts of 11-22-1963. Barbara Bush stated he was in Tyler, TX. although he has "speculated" that he may have been in Port Au Prince, Haiti.


FBI Special Agent, Graham Kitchell states that he received a call from George Bush on 11-22-1963, and that George Bush (and his voice) were very familiar to him at that time. The call was made to the Houston FBI office and apparently did not originate from Haiti.

I’m not sure how long they overlapped. Zapruder started his own company Jennifer Juniors and thus presumably left Nardis when he did, though it possible stayed with them for awhile. Some sources he started his company in 1949 others in 1954. The only one I’ve seen which provides reference is Wikipedia which cites “Business Charters", The Dallas Morning News, August 13, 1954, p. II-16”. The first reference I found to the company in the paper’s archive was “Dress Firm Moves to Larger Location”, July 17, 1956.So obviously the company was started before then. Unfortunately to have to pay to read the article ($10 for 24 hours access or more for longer periods). I also found an ad for a woman’s clothing store selling Jennifer Juniors coats in the February 27, 1952 Oelwein [Iowa] Daily Register which means they must have been a well established company to be known in a small town (current pop under 7000) 750 miles from their HQ (a lot closer to Chicago)

http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerT...0&fpo=False (free registration required)

Some "stuff"...the common theme is that the Demohrenshildts and others with CIA ties seem to be everywhere. Note that Adamson twice mentions Vince Palamara, and that Adamson says Demohrenschildt's grandson married Mary Ferrell's granddaughter. I am willing to concede that coincidences are of no significance, but I doubt if homicide and other LEO related investigators will ever agree that this is so, in their own work experience:






It is not only the Demohrenschildts and Olga Fehmer's daughter who had ties to the CIA....here are the memoirs of WC commissioner and long time retired DCI
Allen Dulles's lover, Mary Bancroft, WWII OSS spy linked to a plot to kill Hitler, mentioning her friend, the mother of the Oswald's friend, Ruth Paine. Ruth Paine, the elder, was found later to be married to a CIA asset, and their other daughter, Sylvia Hyde Hoke, worked full time for the CIA.



Mr. Mack wants you to picture Nardis of Dallas as this big organization where Jeanne Le Gon and Zapruder were not likely to have met or interacted, but
that is not the impression the WC testimony, or what we have learned since, paints. Jeanne Le Gon was the talent, its seems she was a favorite of the Nardis
owners, the Golds. Zapruder was capable enough, by 1959, to leave Nardis and to start his own successful business. Le Gon and Zapruder are not simply seamstress and tailor, two of thousands, as in the picture Mr. Mack paints:



WC described Demohrenschildt's testimony as to how Ruth Paine was lined up to come into contact with the Oswalds, as if Demohrenschildt's own attorney got
to write the account for the record:

Tom thanks for posting LeGron's testimony she started working for Nardis in 1953. Unless you can find evidence to suggest she was lying under oath that seems to settle it because a year earlier Zapruder's company was established enough to be selling coats in tiny Iowa farm towns over 700 miles away

Show us, Len. Document you 1952 claim. The record seems to show that Zapruder was a cofounder of "Jennifer Juniors, Inc.", chartered in August, 1954.

See attached. It is in the ad for "Connors", bottom right of the page.

I posted Gary Mack's comments because I think it is interesting to reveal what he considers to be important to "rubbish". I have come to the conclusion that if Gary attacks something it definitely needs further research. Maybe someone living close to Dallas could investigate Jeanne de Mohrenschildt employment history.

On 11th May, 1978, Jeanne de Mohrenschildt gave an interview to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where she said that she did not accept that her husband had committed suicide. She also said that she believed Lee Harvey Oswald was an agent of the United States, possibly of the CIA, and that she was convinced he did not kill John F. Kennedy. She then went onto say: "They may get me too, but I'm not afraid... It's about time somebody looked into this thing."

There is also another connection between Abraham Zapruder and George de Mohrenschildt that I will write about on another thread.

Thank you, Robert.

Len, Connor's Department Store seems to have had multiple stores in several mid-western states. I found reference to one in Wisconsin, but no other Connor's advertising for "Jennifer Juniors."

This Shriner's site is the only source I can find of the 1941 and 1949 dates used together:


This is also attributed to: (This bio version of Zapruder does not include the 1949 Jennifer Juniors, Inc., startup date)




Len's and Robert's posts, along with their 1952 Connor's ad image, supported by the dates included in the BC/Yukon Zapruder Shriner's bio, influence me to wonder if the description of Jeanne Le Gon and Zapruder working together at Nardis in 1953, needs to be rewritten or at least reexamined.

Also raised is the question of how Vince Palamara came to be the researcher credited by Bruce Adamson for putting him onto the LeGon, Zapruder, Olga Fehmer relationship, formed while the three were allegedly working together at Nardis in 1953.

Thanks for that Robert.

Have you seen the document or an image of it or are you just taking the word of the anonymous Wikipedia author who said this? S/he could have 1) made it up 2)gotten the info from an unreliable source or 3) seen some another document from that year and mistook it for a charter.

If you're interested enough you could take the IRT/IND/5/7/104 to the NYPL and look up the appropriate pages of the August 13, 1954, and July 17, 1956 issues of the DMN or shell out $10 to read the latter in the comfort of your home.



Pretty obviously someone who had a company established enough to be selling to a mini department store chain hundreds of miles from its base is not going be simultaneously working as a cutter for a rival.My guess is someone stumbled on the coincidence the two worked for the same company and let their imagination get away with them and/or the infomutatedafter various retellings.

According to Edward Jay Epstein's book, Legend (1978) Jenni De Mohrenschildt established herself in Dallas "as a dress designer of some note."

What did he base that on?

So perhaps he might have known her or known of her. To infer from that he might have known De Mohrenschildt let alone been close enough to him to have been "in on it" is quite a stretch.

Len,

I thought you posted that you read the excerpt of Jeanne's WC testimony I posted. She stated under oath that she was a designer of some notoriety, and gave no impression that she was a cutter of patterns designed by others. She stated that she was a;ready recognized for her talent in New Yoirk and in Europe before she moved to Dallas.

Also, I had no difficulty reading the 1952 Connor's ad Robert posted, and I even posted a source, in response, describing the startup year of Zapruder's business as in 1949....

When she appeared before the Warren Commission, Eugenia Fomenko/Jeanne LeGon/Jeanne de Mohrenschildt, gave a very detailed history of her employment record.

In 1938, on her arrival in the US, Jeanne found work with Martins Fashion Apparel Store in Brooklyn. According to her own account: "within 1 year, from modeling, from 25, I became in charge of the showroom, I was selling, I was selecting fabrics, and became a stylist.... the very same firm paid me to design a collection for them." She later worked for Bloom and Eagen, Lombardy Coat Company and Leeds Coats.

In the summer of 1953 Jeanne LeGon moved to Dallas where she was employed by Nardis Sportswear: "It was $20,000 a year, plus two trips to Europe, with expenses paid." In April 1954 she relocated to California where she worked for Style Garments. In 1955 she returned to Dallas and designed dresses for Handmacher Vogel. The following year she met George de Mohrenschildt. When Robert LeGon discovered what was going on, he wrote a letter to the FBI accussing her of being a "communist spy". This resulted in the FBI making inquiries about her political activities.

According to Priscilla Johnson McMillan: "After Jeanne started seeing George de Monhrenschildt, Robert LeGon came twice to Dallas. He is said to have gone after his wife's admirer with a revolver, then hired a private detective. But, like so many others before him, he succumbed to the De Mohrenschildt charm. He declared that he would grant his wife a divorce on one condition - that De Mohrenschildt promise to marry her."

Jeanne continued to get a lot of work designing clothes. In 1956 she worked for Leeds Coats and the following year she was employed by Judy Bond, Nancy Greer and Jack Rothenberg in Dallas.

Abraham Zapruder arrived in the US from Russia in 1920. In the 1920s he found work in the Garment District of Manhatten as a clothing pattern maker. In 1941 Zapruder moved to Dallas to work for Nardis, a local sportswear company.

As you can see, Zapruder and LeGon worked in the garment industry at the same time in two different places: New York City (1938-1941) and Dallas (1953-60).

So far the best account of Zapruder's work record appears in this Gregory Burnham article:

Gregory Burnham, Amazing Web Of Abraham Zapruder: The Man Who Filmed JFK's Assassination:

http://www.john-f-kennedy.net/amazingwebof...hamzapruder.htm

The following may be of interest to those who would seek a glimpse at the beginning, even though it tends to raise questions about the only piece of evidence that we know is real, intact, unaltered, and 100% without blemish. Qualities that are curiously absent from the character of the one who filmed it...

Consider:

Abraham Zapruder-White Russian affiliation, 32nd degree Mason, active MEMBER of 2 CIA Proprietary Organizations: The Dallas Council On World Affairs and The Crusade For A Free Europe;

These two organizations were CIA (backed) Domestic Operations in Dallas whose membership included:

Abraham Zapruder, Clint Murchison (owner of the Dallas Cowboys at that time) , Mr. Byrd, (owner of the Texas School Book Depository), Sarah Hughes, who swore LBJ in as the 36th President while Air Force One was still on the ground in Dallas, George DeMohrenschildt, (CIA contract agent AND best friend of LHO), George Bush (also close friend of George DeMohrenschildt), Neil Mallon, (mentor that Bush named his son, Neil, after), H.L.

She had married Lee Oswald's BEST FRIEND (to be), CIA Contract Agent, George DeMohrenschildt!]

So it seems Epstein was correct. Perhaps Zapruder had heard of her perhaps he'd even met her, though no evidence to such effect has been posted. To leap from that possibility to the one suggested by John that he colluded with the man she married in 1959 is a lot of speculation with close to zero evidence

From Gregory Burnham (posted by John)




Except we've already established that Zapruder's company was in business by 1952 and selling to department stores in small towns hundreds of miles away so the 1949 date is probably correct and the 1959 one definitely wrong.



No citation is provided given his false statement about when Z left Nardis his credebility on the subject is low
