    Upon digging a little deeper into this, I have now answered my own question (via the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper article seen below, from June 27, 1962). Click to enlarge:

    Great! Here it is seen trailing JFK's limo (note the two license plate numbers) on 3/27/63 in Washington, D.C.:

    May be an image of 2 people, car and road

    The above Cincinnati newspaper has an interesting tidbit in the article in the lower-right corner (re: limousines). It says:

    The-Cincinnati-Enquirer-Nov-23-1963--Cli

    I have never heard about the existence of such a car. Anybody know anything about it? And do any photos exist of it?

     

    Very much so, yes. I learned about this in the late 1990's. Photo(s) to follow soon.

    I found this reference in Palamara's From Parkland To Bethesda:

     

    “High Treason”, p. 460---“The first doctor to see what he said was a bullet entry wound near the left temple was Dr. Leto (sic) Porto.”[only reference to Dr. Lito Porto];

    It's on page 336 of the 2006 edition.

     

    This a quote from the 1989 edition of the book - before Dr. Jones talked about Lito Porto to the ARRB. And there is no other reference or citation for where this information came from.

     

    See my second book JFK: FROM PARKLAND TO BETHESDA. I spoke to his son. Yes- his dad is very secretive. High Treason (1) briefly mentions him and I took it from there.

    I don't know if that's Ruby or not in the first and last photo, but it does look like the guy is talking on a hand held radio of some sort.   I've thought myself for a long time the shots were coordinated with telecommunication.

    The last picture brings up more questions.  Is it a frame from a film?  If so which one? 

    the fedora hat photo is from the Moorman photo (the same location where both Tink Thompson and the acoustic studies pin pointed an origin for one of the shots)

    Any connection to Marina's statement that she locked LHO in the bathroom to keep him from assassinating RMN?

    Boy, that LA Times story is really beneath Reston, Jr.  He may have had an underselling book to flog.

    This little green book crud definitely makes me think the Howards WERE indeed responsible for the Thayer Waldo article.

    David, how about THIS one:

    I asked Howard about the negro story. He said that newsmen make up a lot of stories.

    https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-reston-jfk-assassination-target-20161122-story.html

    "a Secret Service officer named Mike Howard was dispatched to Oswald’s apartment. Howard found a little green address book, and on its 17th page under the heading “I WILL KILL” Oswald listed four men: an FBI agent named James Hosty; a right-wing general, Edwin Walker; and Vice President Richard Nixon. At the top of the list was the governor of Texas, John Connally. Through Connally’s name, Oswald had drawn a dagger, with blood drops dripping downward."---anyone believe THIS one??

  7. Former Secret Service agent Mike Howard is telling tall tales again:

    Gerald Blaine’s handwritten notes (undated):

    “Frank Yeager and myself have the advance in Tampa, Fla. Everything goes well and I feel real good. Never a thought of the tragedy that is due to occur on the 22nd. Kennedy makes the first of fateful steps that seem to lead toward the tragedy. He states that he wants no agents riding on the rear of his car as we did in Europe. If one was there the assassination might not have occurred. An agent’s life is a frustrating one. You can set all of the security in the world, but its only as good as the President lets it be. The day will come when the only way the public will be able to see the president is by television. The country seems to be loaded with eccentrics and potentials.”

    “I don’t think I have ever been filled so low emotionally by anything like the president’s assassination. There wasn’t a thing anyone could have done to stop it and the Secret Service did everything it could do. My shift worked midnight in Ft. Worth on the 22nd. We took them to the airport – They flew to Dallas, went to Austin to sleep for the next nights duty. I had been asleep about ten minutes in the Commodore Perry Hotel. Art Godfrey came in the room and almost broke the door down. ‘The boss was hit in Dallas.’ I was groggy but the sickening truth seemed to sink through and I couldn’t do anything but swing my legs over the bed and when the shock hit me I couldn’t find the strength to stand and I was hit with a sudden wave of chills. Then I tried to fight off the despair and asked Art if he was sure. He said he knew that Kennedy was shot, but didn’t know if it was fatal. We turned on the radio and finally got through on the security phone to hear the horrible truth. We just withdrew in our own thoughts.”

    “We flew back in a SAC Bomber, myself, Art Godfrey, Bob Faison, Jerry O’Rourke, Paul Burns and John Bailey (National Democratic Chairman). We arrived back after Kennedy’s body and set up security at the Johnson residence. (What a disgusting settlement – Kennedy replaced by Johnson – like a pro-ball player going from the Yankees to the bottom of the league.)”

    “They say that not many single things have an influence on history, but I am sure this one will.”

    “Even though we could have done nothing to prevent it, nor was there anything anyone could have done except use a bulletproof automobile, we are all suffering from guilt and failure in our one task. The ordeal we were to all go through for the next few months was a sad one, but we all came out with a feeling of hope far greater than we had ever had before. We shall all be stronger for the experience in the years to come. President Kennedy left us a little of his courage and we lost not only a fine president but a friend we will never forget and always admire.”

    !!!!! OOPS--I thought these notes were supposed to be contemporaneous "proof" of something?! A SOURCE AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES WHO WAS ADAMANT ABOUT NOT BEING QUOTED SAID IT WAS HIS/HER BELIEF THAT THE HANDWRITTEN "SCRAWL" IN "BALL POINT PEN" WAS ADDED YEARS LATER...I say decades (say, around late 2012), but you get the point. 
     
    These "notes" were not used in either Blaine's book or television documentary. But believe him, man- he says it is true...
