When did HW Bush say he couldn’t remember? And to whom did he say that?
-
Was it taken by Jim Darnell? Isn't his filming missing? I thought a policeman tried to stop him from filming because he thought it was disrespectful to the president.

I have 2 HSCA interview reports on my website:

http://jfkassassinationfiles.com/HSCA-180-10108-10193.pdf
Other HSCA interviews with DPD officers who were in Dealey Plaza during the shots. See at the top of the page.

Of special interest, an interview with Carolyn Walther which was mentioned in Six Seconds in Dallas.

The couple on the right had a camera with them. Was apparently not taking pictures. Nobody seems to know their names...

Denis I have had a question about this photo for some time and I wonder if Mr Ellis ever said anything that might shed some light on this. Myself and other bike riders have noted that although the limo is only a couple seconds behind the motor cops(It must be doing 50 mph) the motor cops seem to be putting along at about 25-30 mph. I say this because they are riding 3 abreast while navigating the turn onto the Stemmons. For the person in the middle this gets tricky at higher speeds and you would usually fall back a bit. But what really gets me is the middle cop, Lumpkin?, has his left hand in his lap! The rain gutter that you have to cross will definitely cause a slight deviation in you equilibrium and to take it at high speed with one hand is just a bit tricky, but sandwiched between two other bikes is gonna create the pucker factor even for experienced riders. Has he mentioned their speed maybe?
Chris, I can't remember if Ellis mentioned the speed. All my 1991 interviews can he listened to here: This Part 1 of 4.

Hey, Denis. Was intern Sharon Thuoy the same person as x-ray intern Sharon Calloway, who gave an interview to the Sixth Floor Museum?
Hi Pat. The last time I saw you was when you did a presentation at Lancer. After the presentation, there were too many people around you asking questions. You were too popular.
i think it is the same Sharon. I can’t prove it, though.
-
Thuoy says she was with her friend Donna Schloss in front of the elevator when she saw a bullet. Schloss tells the interviewers, that she was not working at Parkland on November 22, 1963. One of the interviewer introduces himself. What name does he say? The female interviewer sounds like Patricia Orr.
-
She also gave an Oral History to the 6FM in which she Claims X-Rays of JFK were made at Parkland.
-
I made a summary of what is discussed in the tape. Not very detailed, that's a summary, not a transcript. I think there is more available than what I was able to obtain.
THUOY, SHARON
CASSETTE 1, SIDE 1 (28 minutes)0:41. I was a nurse student at the time.
1:23. There was a phone, and a doctor was using it. A reporter known to us wanted to use it as well, but was told to wait. He hit the doctor on the chin knocking him down, and used the phone. He told to the person on the other end of the phone that someone in the motorcade had been injured. My colleague Donna Schloss and I overheard the conversation. We went to the emergency room.
2:43. A stretcher with a body on it arrived. I went with it.
3:00. The patient had a bullet wound in the throat… The base of the back of his head had a large cavity, big enough for 2 fists to go into.
3:37. A tracheotomy was prepared. JFK had a pulse, his breathing hard to hear.
4:06. An incision for the tracheotomy was made after some comments were made about the wound being at the wrong location to be used for the tracheotomy.
4:27. Dr. Carrico made the incision and getting ready to put the tube in. Dr. Perry opened the door of the room with his hands held up. He said to the people, “You do know we’re operating on the president”
5:14. Blood was withdrawn from the president, and I took it to a technician.
6:06. I saw Jackie in the hall.
6:53. Donna Schloss re-appeared. In front of the elevator, against the wall, was a stretcher with bloody sheets. And there was a bullet. On the metal, the stretcher beside the mattress Donna and I saw that bullet. We went upstairs.
8:12. I saw the casket put into the car. Jackie put her hands on the casket. She shook a policeman’s hands and appeared to touch his cheeks. It looked as if she was telling him, “Thank you”.
8:56. Let me ask you… Did you initially report to the emergency room, and how long was it before JFK arrived?
Not more than 5 minutes.
9:15. The stretcher arrived. You recall the names of those who also accompanied the stretcher to the Trauma Room?
I remember only Dr. Carrico.
11:07. You related that you saw a wound in the neck of the president. When did you observe it?
11:22. Immediately after he entered Trauma One.
11:46. Please describe the wound in the neck?
11:53. Small. Between the size of nickel and a dime. Bloody.
12:22. Where was the wound relatively to the center of the neck?
12:33. About 2 inches to the right… On my right on my body… Towards his right.
13:09. To his right arm. Would have been to your left, his right?
Right.
13:14. You specifically recall the conversations to the point you remember that the wound was at the wrong location?
Yes.
13:42. Who made the incision?
Dr. Carrico.
14:02. At what point did you see the second wound you saw? The one in the rear of the head.
14:26. Could you describe the wound at the back of the head?
Large. Ragged. Large enough for 2 fists to fit in. Very messy.
15:02. Please describe the location of this wound.
15:15. “Not directly in the center. More to the right, his right” The discussion continues on the details.
16:03. Any damage to the top of the head?
16:06. Not at all.
16:25. Any other damage at the back of the body or neck?
16:33. No.
16:40. So only the two you described to us?
Right.
16:52. Did you examine the body in a fashion that you would have seen other wounds?
17:03. Certainly in the chest area. Not on his back.
17:36. Questions on the timing of the events like the spotting of the bullet on the stretcher.
19:16. Could you describe again what was on the stretcher?
Thuoy describes.
21:07. Why have not you ever reported this bullet?
21:23. Thuoy replies.
22:03. When did you come back to the stretcher?
Thuoy: 3 PM.
22:14. Did you at any of the two times in the elevator area see anyone else than Donna Schloss?
No.
22:45. Ever been contacted by official agencies?
22:58. No.
23:07. Have you called any of them to volunteer information?
I called your committee.
23:32. Could you relate this incident in Cambodia?
23:36. Thuoy related the incident when an SS agent told her, ‘You were one of the Parkland nurses”
25:00. What was your reaction to this incident?
25:27. I think we have covered everything.
25:30. You were still there after Dr. Perry left. Right?
Thuoy: I remember seeing Dr. Perry leave Emergency One. I don’t remember him staying there the entire time after he had put in the tube.
25:53. Question on how long she stayed there after Dr. Perry left.
26:27. You were not in the room when JFK was pronounced dead?
Thuoy: No.
26:35. Interviewer is asking personal information on Thuoy.

A rarely, if ever, discussed Parkland staff member was interviewed by the HSCA. She claimed that she saw a huge cavity at the back of the head, big enough for two fists to fit int. She also told the HSCA that she saw a bullet. I obtained this audio at NARA II. This is just an excerpt.
-
Thanks, Steve.
-
I doubt we will ever know for sure. I’ll ask Bush when I have dinner with him.
-
You may contact Kiwanis. But maybe it’s a CIA front, or the person who will talk to you is a CIA agent.
-
I don’t have any other info than you have. Steve just replied to me: “I found it in the Bush Library. On the photo was “Tyler” and it was in a group of clippings taken from Bush’s Texas Senate run campaign. Bush announced his run in September 1963. We know he spoke at the Kiwanis club in Tyler on the 22nd. If you study the photo it was obviously a luncheon speech. As far as I could research, he wasn’t in Tyler anytime after that in 1963. He suspended his campaign after the assassination, and resumed in early 1964. Although there is no absolute proof, there remains the very high probability that the photo was taken on the 22nd. I did find he was in Tyler in early November 1963, but it was not a Kiwanis function. Bush was living in Houston at that time.”
-
I’m waiting for Steve. Anyone can write the Bush Library and inquire. This way, you would bypass Steve who could be a CIA agent.
-
A few months ago I obtained the HSCA interview with David Phillips. This is an excerpt:
Use headphones or speakers. Since posting this, I adjusted the volume.
-
This is how Steve Roe found the Tyler photo: From Steve: I obtained this photo from the archivist at the George Bush Library in College Station. She pulled it out of many photos and newspaper clippings on George Bush’s first 1964 Senate run against Ralph Yarbrough
-
I will post more if there is enough interest. In the meantime, you can view my list of the Sprague material.

Letter from Fred Newcomb to Sprague. July 28, 1970. Click on "See More" to see the link to the 4 pages.
7. Letter from Fred Newcomb to Sprague. July 28, 1970. Newcomb made several claims about the Wiegman film: 1. Wiegman film shows no one in the 6th floor window. "Shows this clearly on good quality film" 2. Shows SS agent Ready jumping off Queen Mary.
8. PAGE 2. TITLE: "12:30 PM November 22 - Motorcade / John Hoefan, NBC/SS Lem Johns / Six Shots". John Hoefan (NBC sound technician in the first press car) tells about his experience in Dealey Plaza during the shooting. He tells about SS agent Lem Johns and David Wiegman. / Tom O'Brian tells about a color 16-mm film taken of the assassination. This could be the Wiegman film.

The vanishing pool of blood
in JFK Assassination Debate
Posted
I hope any of them reported this blood to the policemen who were very present at that location. There is no police report on this.
