Good Day Jack.... Well, "my book" matches the "Webster Dictionary" definition in the sense that the tone of the very same words that you used above to claim what you did was not an enhancement, is actually a match for the very definition of enhancement when you used transparent, colored oils on your MOORMAN #5 cropped enlargement of the retaining wall area seen in "TMWKK": Main Entry: en·hance Pronunciation: in-'han(t)s, en- Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): en·hanced; en·hanc·ing Etymology: Middle English enhauncen, from Anglo-French enhauncer, alteration of Old French enhaucier, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin inaltiare, from Latin in + altus high —more at OLD Date: 13th century 1 : obsolete : RAISE 2 : HEIGHTEN, INCREASE; especially : to increase or improve in value, quality, desirability, or attractiveness - en·hance·ment /-'han(t)-sm&nt/ noun © 2001 by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated Merriam-Webster Privacy Policy ....As I said above other than (i.e. not including) enlargement and cropping, I consider all other techniques, especially colorizing an original black and white photo, to be enhancing. This is the very reason that when an enhanced version of a photo or frame is presented, imho, it should always be accompanied by an un-enhanced companion so the viewer can view both, compare them side-by-side, think about the considerations, and, ultimately --as it should be-- decide for him/herself. ....Are there ANY archived threads on "JFK Research" that have ever discussed shooter's glasses being "seen" on "badgeman"? JW: "I DO NOT RECALL YOU EVER ASKING ME ANYTHING ABOUT BADGEMAN." ....Correct. I never directly asked you my questions about the enhancement processes performed on the MOORMAN #5 cropped enlargement of the retaining wall seen in "TMWKK" (though I should have just emailed you). I posted my enhancement specific processes questions to the public "JFK Research" forum, that you were an active posting member of at the time, in the simple hopes of learning/stimulating/advancing the knowledge --via any/all post responses-- especially for helping those just learning the case, about how the MOORMAN #5 photo was enhanced. ....Do you know what the ASA rating was of the original polaroid film composition that MOORMAN used for capturing her #5? I seem to recall that in those days the Polaroid ASA rating was very high. Don Roberdeau CV-67, "Big John," USS John F.

Good Day Jack.... Your "beef," then, needs to be taken up and resolved with GARY MACK. Several years ago, I casually inquiried of several persons and forums (which I believe also included the old, free "JFK Research Forum" which you were a member of at the time) and I simply asked about the enhancement processes utilized that resulted in the colorized, cropped, enhanced version of MOORMAN #5 seen in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy." (one of my considerations at the time was how much taller the straightline apparent upper edges and southeast corner of the retaining wall do look higher in enhancements, versus the fact that the upper edges and southeast corner of the retaining wall is seen to be comparatively and distinctly-noticeably lower in un-enhanced MOORMAN #5 copies) I received no definative answers (including none from yourself) until GARY MACK emailed me and specifically told me that the colorized, cropped, enhanced version of MOORMAN #5 seen in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" had been, in his words, "water-colorized" by you. Not caring a wit about the non-JFK-politico-machinations that goes on too much between the overall people of "TEAM JFK" (that's ALL of US, folks :{)-] ), and, therefore, my not knowing that at that time that you and GARY MACK had some sort of previous (hopefully temporary?) parting-of-the-ways (a real shame for ALL of us, I might add), but in knowing that the two of you had worked very closely together in the early 80's and "TMWKK" on the, supposed, "badgeman" image, it was logical for me to accept his word, who, as far as I knew, was still your compadre'. Of course, Jack, compared to you, I (who still prefers using my olde' Rollei, Nikon, and a Pentax single reflex, etc., 35mm camera's to using my new digital camera) are the person with the photographic printing expertise.... but.... ....No matter how you attempt to "spin" it, when a photo or its photo scan is studied and worked upon, and anything except enlarging or cropping is done to that photo or scan.... in my "book," that IS called "enhancing". What very mildly bothers me (besides not providing the photographers name and/or exact photo or frame number, and, only because when I save a scan I like to archive it with a precise title) about when some persons present enhanced photos or and/or a film frame(s) accompanied by their interpretation(s), is that, usually, all that is presented is the enhanced version.... I am a firm believer that people are basically smart, and, therefore, in being smart he/she can be responsible for engaging his/her brain, making up his/her own mind about something, so, the original photo/frame, imho, should be presented right along with the enhanced version so that the viewing person --any persons-- can compare the two side-by-side and decide for him/herself what is/is not revealed in the photographic evidence. Jack, do you recall the name of the NRA expert who said he saw shooter's glasses on BM? Are there ANY archived threads on "JFK Research" that have ever discussed shooter's glasses? (none that I can find are "googled" in any newsgroup thread or any other forum) Anyway, I have no hard feelings, at all, towards you on a personal, non-JFK level, and have known and followed your work for the majority of my 29+ years researching the case (since your contributions for and to us all via the HSCA's partial investigation) An aside.... I have been trying through the Dallas F.B.I. to obtain a print of the first "U.P.I." negative/MOORMAN photo that I have heard they have (or had, at one point) in the Dallas files. Their "help" and "responses" have been worth precisely "squat".... Any helpful suggestions, Jack? Don Roberdeau CV-67, "Big John," USS John F.

BREHM, a gunfire-battle experienced, WWII D-day, United States Army Ranger veteran, quoted just minutes after the attack while still standing within Dealey Plaza, "Dallas Times Herald," 11-22-63, final edition

.... N E W .... GORDON ARNOLD - Additional Claims about the Knoll-Wall Good Day.... The following are just a portion of the 16-page transcript quotes of a forty-five minute interview of self-claimed Dealey Plaza witness, Gordon Leslie Arnold, that was administered June 6, 1989 by interviewer Conover Hunt for the "Oral History Collection" done at "The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza." Isn't it amazing how, no matter which side of the "picket fence" you are on with respect to what you think about Arnold's claims, that the mere mention of his name sometimes --much more often with a few persons, than others-- can be enough to get one's self feeling (hopefully temporarily) just -- a --- bit ---- anxious. The transcript is annotated that it was originally transcribed by Stephen Fagin, November 2003, then, the transcript was revised by Stephen Fagin and Gary Mack in "January/February 2004". What follows are just some of the 6-6-89 additional claims and/or additional details that Arnold made to Hunt in 1989 (after Arnold's "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" 1988 shown interview had already been filmed and aired) that have not been previously publicized in any other newspaper article, documentary, or book. (in transcript-quoted, transcript-chronological order) Arnold claims, "And on that particular morning, I was going to be going to Fort Wainwright, Alaska, the following week, and my parents had bought me a brand new, modern camera to make movies with" Please recall that in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" documentary that Arnold stated, matter-of-factly (a couple times), that the movie camera belonged to his Mother, and, he claimed, because it was sentimentally his Mother's that was the reason he initially did not want to give up the entire camera to the, supposed, "badgeman" that he claimed kicked him a couple times. In this 1989 "SFM" interview Arnold claims he parked, "on the other side of the tower," "before noon time." Arnold claims he went to Dealey Plaza because while driving he noticed the people lined-up and he wanted to test the new movie camera. He claims he did not know anything about the presidential motorcade, "because in the military training that we had, we weren't allowed to read newspapers, listen to radios, nothing like that." (which, in my military experience, was true only for recruit training "boot camp," but was not true for any advanced special training after boot camp) Arnold claimed on 11-22-63 he had been in the United States Army, "approximately nine months," and that during his three years of service he, "was in a special unit." (but he never details which "special unit") Arnold claimed the first encounter with the, supposed, "agent" occurred "down to the very corner where there's a… a drainage ditch" ....probably meaning the vertical sewer at the junction point where the west end of the north stockade picket fence adjoins the north end of the triple overpass bridge. Please recall how in 1988's "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" where he was first filmed stradling, was filmed noticeably far away from the picket fence, and, the vertical sewer does not even appear in the background. (in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" he does mention that the agent first approached him from around up off the north side of the triple overpass bridge) Arnold claimed he, "weighed 175 pounds," and, "I was nothing but muscle." Does the, supposed, "Arnold" image "seen" in MOORMAN #5 polaroid photo enhancements appear to to you to be "nothing but muscle", or, does the, supposed, 5.8' tall "Arnold" image appear to you to have a somewhat noticeable "gutt"?; a gutt "seen" from a lower MOORMAN position, rising above above a 3.3' tall wall. Arnold claimed the, "agent" told Arnold that the agent, "was with either the CIA or Secret Service." When the "agent," supposedly, encountered Arnold again and told Arnold, again, to leave the area, Arnold claimed he thought or said aloud, "Well, horse rots" and then (probably thought to himself) "I'll just go around it and get on the other side of the fence. You know, I'm away from his territory. I'm in mine now. I get on the other side, and man, everybody's in good positions to take pictures but ole' Gordon here, so… (chuckling) So, the big problem was… is that there use to be a directional identification billboard out here. And it was just past the lampost." Arnold claimed, "at that point in time they were putting dirt on the knoll. There was a mound of dirt. And I said, 'Well, I'll stand on the mound of dirt.' And I was doing some practice pan shots" The ground between the retaining wall and the picket fence line may, or may not, have then had a thinnish layer of dirt on its top in that area, possibly even a grass-people-traffic-worn-showing dirt top, but, there are no photos, no film evidence, nor a single witness(es) statement(s) that there was ever an obvious, distinct, raised, rounded, "mound of dirt" --anywhere-- in that knoll/wall area. Professional surveys from the trapezoid points between the "badgeman" tree, picket fence corner, retaining wall southeast inside corner, and the northernmost wall corner (along with my several personal extended trip/vacations I have made to the plaza in the 80's and 90's) all reveal that trapezoid that ARNOLD claimed he was within to be relatively level. Conover then asks Arnold where he was standing in relation to the north pergola steps, to which Arnold claims, "OK. OK. The steps would be almost----I would say in front of me, but it's not in front of me because I'm standing askew to the steps----more towards the street than I am the steps." "And I'm up as… I'm about three feet from the fence." Please recall that the 1978 "Dallas Morning News" photo that shows Arnold standing noticeably much closer to the picket fence than the retaining wall that he stood closer to by 1988's "The Men Who Killed Kennedy." Conover then asks, "Between the steps and the fence?," to which Arnold replies, "Yes." *NOTE* that Arnold claims he was BETWEEN the steps and fence --in other words, he is specifically claiming he was specifically in the grass between the fence and the steps-- but he was not on the grass between the east edge of the sidewalk and the west edge of the retaining wall, he was not on the sitting bench, he was not on the west edge of the steps, he was not on the east edge of the steps, he was not on the steps or the top step, he was not on the pergola sidewalk, he was not on the west edge of the sidewalk, and, he was not on the east edge of the sidewalk. Based on the physical layout of the steps/retaining wall/picket fence corner I cannot visualize his above strange, imho, concurrent added claim that he was also "more towards the street than I am the steps." (perhaps he was trying to vocalize that his claim was that his facing direction --not his standing location-- was facing turned "more towards the street"?) Conover then asks, "So, the steps were east of you?" to which Arnold replies, "Right." (So, he has already said he was 3' from the picket fence, and the pergola steps, not the pergola sidewalk, are east of his standing location point) Arnold then claims he, "still didn't know what was happening until, well, the motorcade came around the corner…" (yet, he also claimed he had been there since just before noon. He claims he has been there 30+ minutes before the attack, so, is it logical to you that in that 30+ minutes before the attack that he, never once, reasoned just why so many people were pouring out of the buildings and gathering together, and/or, he never once even took just a few short seconds to casually ask someone --anyone-- just what was going on? Exactly WHAT did Arnold imagine/think the C.I.A. "agent" --or was it a secret service "agent"-- was doing there, anyway?) Arnold goes on, "And I said, 'Well, that looks like the presidential flag.' And I still really wasn't convinced, but I put the camera up, had it all wound up, and just as the nose of the car started to come into the… into my viewfinder, I pulled the little switch on it. And just as I started to pan and I was almost parallel to the street is when the… I want to say noise. It's not a noise. You feel something go past you, and then you… it's almost instantaneous. You'll hear a noise following behind it, and to me, I knew I was dead because that was a bullet that just went over me. And it's not a span of time that this occurred in. This happened, what I'm telling you, is all in one sequence because when the shot went past my ear, I was automatically falling. And when I was falling, I was still taking... The camera was still rolling. And I could see the president's head go back. Now that's the last that I remember being on the camera, but when I went down, I literally went down and when you're… you're taught to roll…" "…to get down as deep as you can and away from the line of fire. And I would say that another shot went over my… the position that I was in, but the… when that occurred, I was down. I had my face… I had rolled over once, and my face was now down. By now, the camera had quit running by this point in time. OK. At that… it seemed like eons, but it's not. A short period of time after that, somebody kicked me in the derrier, and now, I'm not in the mood to be kicked to begin with. And I was upset because I knew the president had been killed, and I turned over and I was ready to hit somebody. And I was facing a large bore weapon, and the man was crying." Conover asks, "What do you mean by a large bore weapon?" to which Arnold claims, "Like a shotgun…" "… but it looked… it was big enough for a truck to drive through." So, Arnold is claiming one shot was fired while Arnold was standing only 3' from the picket fence with the pergola steps in front of him, and Arnold first instinctively reacted to a bullet going over him. He implies that he rolled over one complete revolution, and since we know that no one is seen in photo nor films just west of the retaining wall --near that 3' from the picket fence Arnold claims-- he is clearly implying that he had to have rolled somewhere east or northeastward out of sight of all cameras --and towards the eardrum busting, very close bullet that he claimed in 1978 and 1988 passed very close to his left ear. *NOTE* that here Arnold said a bullet went over him but does not say --as he did in 1978 and 1988-- that a bullet went past his left ear. Also note that in 1978 Arnold claimed he was kicked not by the "badgeman," but rather by a "badgeman accomplice" also dressed in a D.P.D. uniform (in 1978 the *first* D.P.D. uniformed "badgeman accomplice" had the additional Arnold claim that "badgeman accomplice" was also wielding a visible, drawn, held revolver), but by 1989, Arnold has now mutated his claim to the "badgeman" himself was now the only kicker ---while he is holding that waving, large bore, shotgun-like weapon. When asked how far away from him the "badgeman" was, Arnold claims, "He was just out of arm reach, down to the barrel" and, "He was between me and the fence." After Conover asks if Arnold saw from where the "badgeman" came from, Arnold claims, "No, not where he came from, but now, people were moving at that point in time. Some were running away from where I was at. Some were running up the hill. What I couldn't understand is, he took the film out of the camera, pitched the camera back to me, and then he came back towards the… along the fence line towards the parking area," and yet, not one single witness, nor one single photo/film confirms an armed, crying D.P.D.-uniformed assassin kicking anyone and waving a large weapon around for all these persons that Arnold, by his own 1989 claims, said were now "running up the hill" past the, supposed encounter only a few yards away. *NOTE* that Arnold never once mentions a second D.P.D.-uniformed "badgeman accomplice" in his 1989 claims, even though he detailed a second D.P.D.-uniformed "badgeman accomplice" carrying a revolver --and who did the kicking-- in his 1978 claims. And here's one of the 1989 Arnold claims that REALLY caught my attention. A claim that I have never in 29+ years ever heard a single researcher ----including the "badgeman" founders---- ever mention, much less, provide the details of for us, nor has it ever appeared in ANY photo enhancement: "He had a… it looked like a Dallas Police officer's uniform, and he was a white male. He had… oh, back in those days, it's what they use to call shooter's glasses. Oh remember the… it was like a yellow tint to the glasses. It kept the glare off your eyes." I can just visualize the MOORMAN photo enhancer-artists that also think that "Arnold" is "seen" in MOORMAN now scrambling and having to alter their black and white and water-colorized enhancements to match this additional, "important" claim by Arnold to now "show" the, supposed, "badgeman" glasses with yellow-tinted lenses, and don't forget to add-in the glasses frame of these, "shooters glasses," and remember to trim "Arnold's" gutt to appear as, "nothing but muscle." During the experiences of war, in hunting, for target-practice, and when trap and skeet shooting, most persons still do call them "shooter's glasses," Gord-ee-oh. Arnold claims the "badgeman" was in his, "late-twenties, early thirties," had dark hair, "was not fat," "was stocky," "had a ruddy complexion," and was, "a little bit taller than I was" (Arnold states he was 5' 10.5" tall, = 5.87') The, supposed, badgeman, Arnold goes on to claim, "had dirty fingernails" that Arnold claimed he noticed while he was watching the "badgeman" trigger finger during the, supposed, encounter. Of the encounter, and "badgeman" during the encounter, Arnold claimed, "And with him shaking like that, it was going back and forth, and it just shook me up." "He had tears coming down his eyes, but he… when I left here, I got to my car as fast as I could." Arnold goes on to claim that he told his girlfriend-later-his-wife, "Now, I explained to her what had occurred, and I had explained to my parents what had occurred" and after he left Dallas to travel to Alaska, he stopped-over in Seattle and "explained to the officer-of-the-day where we were being billeted what I had seen." Arnold further claims, "The… my son and daughter now know about it." Then this strange exchange: Arnold: Well, I went into the service… Conover: What year? Arnold: …in '66. I say "strange" because earlier in his claims in this same 1989 interview Arnold stated that he started serving in the U.S. Army in 1963 (possibly, that is a transcription error?) Arnold then claims that while serving on a court trial jury he told a fellow University of Texas at Arlington student who was researching the assassination the "true" story of what happened --according to Arnold. Arnold claims he took this UTA student to the "grassy knoll" and that the student took a photo of Arnold standing on the "grassy knoll" Arnold goes on to describe how Nigel Turner found Arnold, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" filming, etc. Of the "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" segment where Arnold, supposedly for the first time, views the enhanced "badgeman" image after flipping up the piece of cardboard, Arnold claims that "badgeman" was Lucien Sarti when Arnold elaborates to Conover after Conover asked what the assassin looked like, "And… well, if you have the tape, he's in the tape." (unless Arnold is saying the assassin was someone else who appeared in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy") I guess the Frenchman, Sarti, did not speak with a, noticeably, French accent when he spoke to Arnold, aye? If I recall correctly, Gary Mack once emailed me and said that "The Men Who Killed Kennedy"/Steve Revile French-Corsican-mafia-were-the-assassins-theory was "nonsense." Arnold further describes how he was shown several mugshot-type photos by Turner or a Turner assistant, and after about 30 seconds he was "semi-sure" he identified one of them as being the third assassin team member (or second assassin team member, depending on which year version of Arnold's claims he was claiming to Turner) -- the "hard-hat badgeman accomplice" that is, supposedly, "seen" in the MOORMAN polaroid enhancements. (I wonder why this important identification of the "hard-hat badgeman accomplice" was not filmed, or, if filmed, why it was also not shown in "The Men Who Killed Kennedy"?) About how long the encounter with the, supposed, "badgeman" lasted, Arnold further claims, "That lapse of time that you're talking about, and I… I… It would be no more than thirty seconds because, in all honesty at that point in time, there was a lot of police officers up or coming up the hill or were on the knoll." Please read my study, "The WILMA BOND Photos Do Not Timestamp ARNOLD's Presence Anywhere on the Grassy Knoll" linked to below. Incredibly, Arnold goes on to mutate his story, temporarily, within this very same 1989 interview when he goes on to claim to Conover Hunt, "And believe it or not, I say there was four or five shots fired. I know there was two fired over me, but now the… the problem with this particular area is that you've got reports going off between buildings." Conover asks, "So, you were aware of shots being fired before the ones came over your head?" to which Arnold claims, "To be honest with you, no." Arnold claims he never heard anyone talking from behind his, supposed, filming/standing location. Arnold again claims how the highway sign blocked his camera filming view just before the attack started, and how Arnold had his body parallel to the street direction when "his" first shot went over him (or, was it to the left of him?). But, in utilizing and calculating on a professional surveyed map from the area where "Arnold", supposedly, stood during the attack --from the intersection point of the Z-202 "black dog man" mandatory line-of-sight with the Z-315.6 MOORMAN mandatory line-of-sight for the "Arnold" image, or, from that BDM Z-202 line-of-sight 3' from the picket fence, or, from the Z-315.6 MOORMAN mandatory line-of-sight for the "Arnold" image at 3' from the picket fence-- the highway sign (presumably, the "Stemmons" sign) would horizontally block President Kennedy from Arnold's view from before Z-133 (on the left north edge of the sign), through only about Z-160 to 175 (when the president would have emerged from the right south edge of the sign) Also, please recall that Gary Mack has stated that Arnold claimed to Gary in 1982 that Arnold starting walking forward towards the retaining wall (southeastward), from a grass point nearer to the "badgeman" tree, just as the limousine entered Elm Street, and while Arnold --as Arnold claims-- was panning his camera around in practice. Arnold claimed he was walking southeastward, with his (or did it belong to his Mother?) new-to-the-touch/unfamiliar-with-all-mechanisms-feeling movie camera, raised up to his eye, panning the camera around in arcs, walking towards an imminent crest/drop-off of a "grassy knoll" hill that surrounds the steps top, and/or, bumping into the retaining wall, and/or, tripping on the straight-edge of the pergola sidewalk, and/or, and/or bumping into whomever spilled the red drink onto the east sidewalk edge, and/or tripping-down-into-MOORMAN's-view because he did not see the top pergola step, and/or, all the while, walking up onto then standing upon a raised mound of dirt that no other witness that went up there has ever spoken of, that no one captured in any photos/films, nor is documented by a single professional surveyor on any of the professional land survey maps and professional plats performed in 1963/1964. Arnold further claims the movie camera film was color, 8mm, brand "Kodak" (but he gives no "Kodak" specific film type), and admits he, "was concentrating more on the… on the camera and the---what I keep saying---stupid people in front of me because I couldn't get up to where I could see what was going on." "And I rolled, and when I rolled, the camera was still running. So, it would have taken a picture of the fence…" "…and anything behind it." Ahhhh-hah !!.... Now we know why the, supposed, "badgeman" wanted to get "Arnold's" film.... .... "badgeman" saw the camera, and/or saw the camera laying on the ground facing him and the "badgeman" thought he may have been exposed on film.... .... But wait.... .... Why did the "badgeman," completely illogically, give the movie camera BACK to Arnold?!!? ----you know, so Arnold could keep safe the same movie camera that, most likely, now also had "badgeman's" fresh fingerprints well preserved for the authorities to find on the movie camera's outside AND on the inside the movie camera???? Maybe it was just that the "badgeman" already knew beforehand that he, or any of the other conspirators, did not need to ever worry about any serious investigation by the "authorities." With some of these additional claims that Arnold "illuminated" and ruminated about during his 1989 "SFM" interview, you can count on that I will be updating my research study, "The WILMA BOND Photos Do Not Timestamp ARNOLD's Presence Anywhere on the Grassy Knoll," currently available for all, here .... http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=14115&st=0#entry163847 Best Regards in Research, Don Donald Roberdeau U.S.S.

Good Day.... The following is a transcript of the handwritten, portable, personal diary journal segment by Dealey Plaza very close assassination witness, MRS. JUNE DISHONG that contains her 11-22-63 assassination observations. The observations were discovered by her daughter shortly after MRS. DISHONG passed-on in 1998. Because it made MRS. DISHONG sad to the day she passed-on, her daughter has described to me that her mother hardly ever mentioned the assassination nor that she was a very close witness. DISHONG never initiated conversations about the attack, and it was hard to get her to discuss the details, which surprised her family because, other than her reluctance to discuss the assassination, DISHONG was a gregarious and very talkative person. In reading DISHONG's observations it appears to me that DISHONG wrote them throughout the day of 11-22-63. It appears to me that her assassination related comments end early in the afternoon because her last portable diary journal entry lines talk about TV scenes at Parkland Hospital of persons reacting to the announcement of President KENNEDY’s death. DISHONG is seen in the ZAPRUDER film standing along the Elm Street north curbline, just east (Z-frame leftward) of the "Stemmons" freeway sign. She is the fourth person to the frame-apparent left of the sign, with darker, somewhat short hair, wearing a blouse with red and blue plaid stripes, and a dark colored skirt. (in her diary she estimated that she was 30’ from the corner, which I took to be the Elm Street curving abutment corner between Elm Street and the Elm Street Extension road. MRS. DISHONG’s family has confirmed to me that she pointed herself out to the family in a "Life" magazine that they still have, and that she said she was the 4th person seen to the left of the SFS in the Z-film) Her position has also been precisely determined within my Dealey Plaza detailed map, available for you, here.... https://i.imgur.com/8vSS1dp.gif She can also be seen in the BETZNER photo (simultaneous with Z-186), and the BRONSON photo (simultaneous with Z-227). Importantly, and very important to her attack observations of DISHONG remembering hearing 3 audible muzzle blasts and/or mechanically suppress-fired bullet bow shock N-waves, President KENNEDY was exactly even with her at Z-222-223, when just as he passed DISHONG the president's waving arm dropped down and then slipped off the side of the car, when the first blast or shockwave (or the first closely spaced volley of shots, I would add) of the 3 that DISHONG remembered hearing (or *could* hear) was fired. Along with her closely detailed, shots-to-JFK-reactions timestamped attack observations, I also found very interesting her watching a gathering of persons on top of the roof of the County Courts Building before the attack. DISHONG’s living daughter has told me.... "She said that the shots came from behind her, on the knoll." MRS. DISHONG's daughter does not recall her ever giving an estimate of the total seconds from 1st blast to the last, nor if the blasts sounded the same (or not), nor how many seconds were in between each blast. Her daughter also later wrote me that her mother, "worked for 'Higginbottom and Baily’, on the corner." (IIRC, "Baily" was correctly spelled "Bailey") Here are MRS. DISHONG's handwritten notes.... <QUOTE> (page 1) Fri 11-22-63- This morning started as usual with the alarm radio rousing us at 5:45 AM. As we go through the hectic hour of dressing, breakfast and readying(sp) our self for a days work my thoughts are on a trip to K.C. It is misting rain this morning and I had better wear a raincoat and take my umbrella as I have 6 blocks to walk from where I park to where I work at the corner of Elm + Houston. I had read an item or two of President Kennedy’s tour and this was the day he would drive though Dallas, but I was absorbed in the starting of my day and my work (page 2) Better hurry its 10 to 7 and I must be at work by 7:45. The morning is long - its only 9 AM. I look out the front window of the building I work in and think - there’s not many people on the street but its early for them to start gathering - looks like it will clear off. hope the sun comes out for the motorcade. I wonder what time they will be by here. At 10 AM - coffee break. I learned that the Presidents party was due at this end of town around noon. Although I hadn’t considered going down stairs to watch for them I began to get excited about the thought of seeing the (page 3) President and his wife and mulled over the thought of going down stairs. Another trip to the front window. The sun is out and it’s a beautiful day - how nice. 11:45 the excitement is building. Word came from the front office the(that) the Kennedy plane has landed but he is delayed shaking hands with people. 12:00 He is late getting downtown. We have time to eat lunch and get out in front. 12:15 Better put on my jacket it might be chilly although the sun is shining bright. We go down the elevator at the back of the building and across the corner (page 4) down the side walk in front of the Texas book depository and about 30 feet beyond the corner. The sun is warm. I’ll take off my jacket we might have quite a wait for the president’s car. I look back up the mall. The grass is green and the shrubbery is orange and brown foliage and is beautiful in the bright sun- shine. I hear the sounds up around the corner. The people are leaning out the windows and I can see a large group on the roof that hang out from (page 5) the Court house. Around the corner come 4 motor cycle police men with their white helmets and gunning their motors as they move along slowly. A car full of men a short distance behind them. Still no car with Jack + Jackey. Suddenly the crowd begins to respond and we can see people in the windows at the court house waving and shouting. 4 more motor cycle policemen and here come the president and his wife - No hat on his head. His arm in the air waving and that great big smile of his. Jackie beside him her arm raised in greeting to all of us (page 6) A pink suit. Pill box hat to match. Black hair just as we had seen them so many times on T.V. - it was beautiful. He drops his arm as they go by - possibly 20 feet. Suddenly - a sound. Gun shots? So hard to tell above the clamor of the crowd. The President bent forward into his wife’s lap as his arm slipped off the side of the car. Jackey circled him with her arm. Another shot. Panic among the people. Woman with children. Parents pushing them to the ground. No one knows where the shots are coming from. (page 7) A cry. The President has been shot. A third shot. People scatter. I can’t believe what I have seen. The picture of the man falling forward. I cover my face to blot out the picture, but that I can’t do. I must get away from that horrible picture. I turn and run back to our building up 3 flights of stairs. Already the word has proceeded us. What has happened. Someone says someone has been shot. The President --no no. Dear God no. Where is he How bad. Who did it. I think I’m going to be sick. (page 😎 All I can see is that form crumbling forward. I can’t shut out the picture. I can’t think. Only a cry inside myself. It can’t be so. May be he was just getting out of the way. We turned on radios. It was true. He had been shot once or twice. No one knows. We know we heard 3 shots. Police cars. FBI men. The street seething with them. Riot guns. The building across the street. They’ve found the gun. Shells. 6 floor front window If any one of us had looked up when we were looking out possibly we would have seen this man. No one even thinks of working. Just milling around. (page 9) People crying. Praying Hoping. At last, word he is dead. I must go home where I can shut my doors and draw the blinds. This horrible thing has happened to this man. The symbol of our country and all we believe in, in this city that I am a part of. Among people that are gentle and kind and deeply aware of God and the bible. I fight this feeling. I must get as far away as possible because miles won’t take away the tragedy of this day and no matter how bright the sun is it will be forever a dark day (page 10) At home. Trying to think. Turn on T.V. Everyone in a turmoil. Word from the hospital of his last moments and Jackie. People gathered around the building crying. Dazed.

Good Day.... http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/e...outlook/2623021 <QUOTE> Wildcatters like Wyatt won't let go By JAN JARBOE RUSSELL Those unfamiliar with the peculiarities of a legendary wildcatter's genetic makeup may not understand why Oscar Wyatt, one month shy of 80, wants to be back in the game. A veteran of the oil and gas business for 50 years, Wyatt and a group of investors are trying to acquire "Enron's" crown jewel — the nation's largest natural gas pipeline — for $2.2 billion. I called Wyatt at his Houston office last week to ask if retirement was against his religion. "Not particularly," said Wyatt, who in the 1950s started "Coastal," the nation's first independent natural gas gathering and marketing company. "It's just that I've noticed that when people like me retire, they usually die. I'd rather work than die." There's more to it than that. When Wyatt's predecessors — old Texas wildcatters such as Sid Richardson, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison and Roy Cullen — are considered, certain common traits stand out. They were impulsive, blunt and hungry for both money and power. Why, then, at this stage of his life, has Wyatt decided to rebuild the company that made him a player, "Coastal Corporation," into "NuCoastal"? The answer is he suffers from every tycoon's malady — a primal fear of not being able to guide the events of his time. Wyatt grew up with not much more than his own shirttail in South Texas. He learned to fly a crop-duster as a young man, became a pilot during World War II and earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M. Then, with an initial investment of $800, he built "Coastal" into a natural gas empire. Younger players in the energy business simply do not understand his combative disposition or his compulsion to leave his brand on all of Texas, most of the United States and the Middle East. "The players have all changed," reflected Wyatt. "We've got all these classy MBAs from Harvard and Yale running our energy companies. These guys have been taught that stockholders aren't entitled to profits, only management is entitled to profits. They learned the wrong lessons." That answer reveals Wyatt's other motivation — anger. Four years ago, Wyatt sold "Coastal" to "El Paso Natural Gas" for $24 billion. He soon regretted the sale as he watched the value of his "El Paso" stock sink like a rock. Like "Enron," "Reliant Resources," "Williams Energy" and other energy companies, "El Paso" created off-the-balance-sheet deals to borrow vast amounts of money. Two years ago, Wyatt and another large shareholder went to "El Paso's" annual board meeting in Houston, screamed about the decreased value of the stock and tried to throw out the company's board of directors. "All of these companies tried to reap big rewards off completely imagined schemes," Wyatt said. "If they had taken genuine risks, I'd have admired them. That's not what they did. It was hocus-pocus." The young players bristle at taking lessons from Wyatt, whose own career is riddled with controversy. In the 1970s, when Texans lost control of the price of oil to the Middle East and the energy crisis sent the price of gas soaring, Wyatt cut back on deliveries to many Texas cities, including San Antonio. Consumers were forced to pay higher rates, and Wyatt was accused of hocus-pocus himself. "I couldn't sell gas that I didn't have," Wyatt said. Now he's back where he started in the 1950s — building a company he calls "NuCoastal." Each morning, Wyatt goes into his office and meets with a core group of old "Coastal managers." He's at work on a five-year, 10-year and 20-year plan for NuCoastal. He has no doubt that he will live long enough to see how the "NuCoastal" influences the world. "My mother is 102," Wyatt said. "I plan to live at least that long." Russell is a columnist for the San Antonio Express-News.(jarboe@express-news.net). <END QUOTE> Don CV-67, "Big John," USS John F.

"Larry Peters": "With Mrs. Hartman seeing a furrow leading back to the large tree above the knoll and it being logical that Badge Man's shot missed the President..." Good Day.... The above quote by "Larry Peters" has been shown to be incorrect if Mrs. Hartman's demonstrated location of where her and her husband saw/touched the furrows is correct. In 1992 EDNA HARTMAN, on film, indicated to researcher MARK OAKES the exact location where she recalled the 2 bullet furrows (not 1 bullet furrow) location that her and her husband observed. (in OAKES' video she bends over some, and points at the ground location of "her" furrows) Lines-of sight extended from the steps stones at the base of the west steps of the north pergola intersect the Elm Street white lane stripe closest to the base of the west steps and easily provide the boundary lines-of-site in the grass just south of the Elm Street south curb where HARTMAN showed OAKES the 2 furrows were within. This is easily calculated and readily seen in the following diagram: http://members.aol.com/DRoberdeau/JFK/HART...toOAKES1992.gif Please note that when calculating a bullet trajectory from the, supposed, "badge man" shooter (BMS) position that it indicates a furrow caused miss circa Zf-355, not Zf-313. When calculating the trajectory from the "grassy knoll" shooter (GKS) position that it indicates a furrow caused miss circa Zf-358, not Zf-313. I am not saying that a BMS shot at Zf-355 shot, or, a GKS Zf-358 shot did not occur.... I am just saying that IF Mrs. HARTMAN's furrows location is correct, that those shots that caused the furrows, if fired by either the BMS or GKS, occurred AFTER Zf-313. Please note that there WERE several witnesses --including several CLOSE witnesses-- who DID say they heard a distinctly seperate audible muzzle blast or mechanically-suppress-fired bullet bow shockwave AFTER President KENNEDY's head had already exploded. One interesting consideration is that by Zf-349, when president KENNEDY is aligned exactly between ZAPRUDER and attack witness MALCOLM SUMMERS, we can see that SUMMERS is already reacting agressively to some stimulus by jumping to his side and rear, landing backwards. Note that the location of the HARTMAN's furrows is VERY close to where SUMMERS was standing during the attack. HARTMAN's furrows location and SUMMERS postion are also diagramed on my DP-only professioanlly scaled map available for free to all here: http://members.aol.com/DRoberdeau/JFK/DPonly.gif Considering the furrows another way.... IF Mrs. HARTMAN's location is correct, and IF the furrows were caused by a shot(s) at the president at circa Zf-313, then calculating backwards from the furrows, through the president's Zf-313 point would intersect the bushes just east of the north pergola (the same bushes that a woman screamed to D.P.D. JOE SMITH that someone was shooting from), or, the northwest to southwest corner of the TSBD rooftop (ROWLAND observed a second armed assassin in a TSBD 6th floor southwest corner open window circa 12:16 & a man was photographed looking out of one of those TSBD 6th floor southwest corner open windows in a DILLARD photo captured about 30 seconds after the attack ended). Please see: http://members.aol.com/DRoberdeau/JFK/DPharperONLY.gif The HARTMAN's 1982 statements to EARL GOLZ regarding the 2 bullet furrows that they each were directed to by a D.P.D., and each saw, and each touched, and the GK direction they each said the furrows aligned with are available here: http://members.aol.com/DRoberdeau/JFK/HART...StoGOLZ1982.gif Don CV-67, "Big John," USS John F.

According to BREHM, the President seemed to stiffen and come to a pause when another shot sounded and the President appeared to be badly hit in the head. Brehm said when the President was hit by the second shot, he could notice the President's hair fly up, and then roll over to his side, as Mrs. KENNEDY was apparently pulling him in that direction. BREHM said that a third shot followed and that all three shots were relatively close together." ----CHARLES F. BREHM, a gunfire-battle experienced, WWII D-day, United States Army Ranger veteran, statement to the FBI, 24NOV63 "I saw a piece fly over in the area of the curb where I was standing. .... It seemed to have come left, and back. .... Sir, whatever it was that I saw did fall, both, in that direction, and, over into the curb there." ----CHARLES F. BREHM, a gunfire-battle experienced, WWII D-day, United States Army Ranger veteran, statements during the 1966 assassination documentary film, "Rush to Judgment" "After the car passed the building coming toward us, I heard a . . . surprising noise, and [the President] reached with both hands up to the side of his throat and kind of stiffened out . . . And when he got down in the area just past me, the second shot hit which damaged, considerably damaged, the top of his head. . . . That car took off in an evasive motion . . . and was just beyond me when a third shot went off. The third shot really frightened me! It had a completely different sound to it because it had really passed me as anybody knows who has been in down under targets in the Army or been shot at like I had been many times. You know when a bullet passes over you, the cracking sound it makes, and that bullet had an absolute crack to it. I do believe that that shot was wild. It didn't hit anybody. I don't think it could have hit anybody. But it was a frightening thing to me because here was one shot that hit him, obviously; here was another shot that destroyed his head, and what was the reason for that third shot? That third shot frightened me more than the other two, and I grabbed the boy and threw him on the ground because I didn't know if we were going to have a 'shoot-'em-up' in this area." ----CHARLES F. BREHM, a gunfire-battle experienced, WWII D-day, United States Army Ranger veteran, to Larry Sneed, "No More Silence" (1988)

Good Day.... Those of you who have been aboard the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy aircraft-carrier (a.k.a. "Big John") have seen that just about everywhere you walk there are pictures, plaques, and words honoring, and celebrating, the life of our 35th President, JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY. There is a large concentration of such memorabilia located among the two main galley areas for the enlisted men. They have been hung on dozens of free-standing, 6' high, mobile, wall-partitions (the color of "Air Force One" blue) within the galleys' perimeters. With my job responsibilities and duties, I daily interacted with the Commanding Officer of "Big John." The Captain's "in-port cabin" is something that everyone who has a chance to see, should see, now that the ship is homeported in Mayport, FL. Used primarily for meetings/meals with the Captain's chain-of-command, and domestic and foreign dignitaries and honored guests, his in-port cabin contains four areas, one of which is a main livingroom area. There were four items in the C.O.'s cabin that have always, vividly, stood out in my memory.... Hanging on each of three adjoining livingroom walls was a very large (about 10' by 5') painting. Each of these colorful, realistic paintings showed the daylight shoreline, buildings skyline, and shipping docks of a coastal city (Boston?) circa 1700's, complete with harbor anchored and embarking sailing ships. The paintings gave the magnificent effect of your being on a similar ship, in that ocean harbor, and you are looking out the back windows from the Captain's cabin of such an American Revolutionary-era sailing ship. The fourth item, the one that had a huge effect on me, and, I am sure, many others through the decades, is an exact replica of President KENNEDY's, White House oval-office, padded rocking chair that was given by the KENNEDY family in 1967 when the ship was first commissioned by CAROLINE. I cannot even begin to describe the thoughts and feelings of sitting in that rocker. Nestled among the many pictures, plaques, etc., for the men of the U.S.S. Kennedy is a plaque of one of the President's speeches.... we all call it the "Men of Courage" speech ....it simply reads: "Of those whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgment on each of us, recording whether in our brief span of service, we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state, our success or failure, in whatever office we hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions: First, were we truly men of courage, with the courage to stand up to one's enemies, and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates, the courage to resist public pressure as well as private greed? Second, were we truly men of judgment, with perceptive judgment of the future as well as the past, of our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others, with enough wisdom to know what we did not know, and enough candor to admit it? Third, were we truly men of integrity, men who never ran out on either the principles in which we believed or the people who believed in us, men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust? Finally, were we truly men of dedication, with an honor mortgaged not to a single individual or group, and compromised by no private obligation or aim, but devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest? Courage, judgment, integrity, dedication . . . these are the qualities which, with God's help, this son of Massachusetts hopes will characterize our government's conduct in the four stormy years that lie ahead. Humbly I ask His help in this undertaking; but aware that on earth His will is worked by men, I ask for your help and your prayers as I embark on this new and solemn journey." -President-elect JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, 09JAN61, Massachusetts I swear, there are ultra-busy days on the ship where you will be completely-motivated, and dashing somewhere to accomplish an important job, and out of the corner of your eye, for a fleeting moment, you swear you saw a young Lt., KENNEDY-esque thin in silhouette, confidently climbing into a jet-fighter, submarine-hunter "Viking," light-bomber jet, or electronics-warefare jet.... or....sometimes, half way through a slow, quiet, midnight-to-4 watch-duty, as you walk down a straight corridor containing a "mirror" of a hundred-plus, lined-up, open bulkheads hatches, you gaze well ahead, and can see, for a not-long-enough, deja-vu instant, a suit-coated man, slightly hunched over, making his way towards the same coffee machine as yourself. It is a remarkable ship, that everyone should, and can, be proud of. Here is a scan of the U.S.S. John F.
