  1. I made his findagrave memorial and put his photo on it. Here you go.:
  2. Michael, I was just reading over Dinkin's file again and wondered who INTARZAN 1 and ARMATT were. Searched MF and found nothing, then googled and found your post here. I did a basic google search for both and found that ArmAtt = Army Attaché, (and NavAtt = Navy Attaché). These were on the "Office of the Historian" page for the US State Dept. "List of Abbreviations and Symbols. I still have not found anything for INTARZAN 1, via MF or Google. In fact, MF has no cryptonyms beginning with "I". It's interesting that the Dinkin docs prior to Jul 24, 2017 had redacted the "IN" and it was recorded as [ ]TARZAN 1. Weird. So he/she must still be alive, or know something they don't want to come out. Wonder if John Newman has looked into this?
  3. It was SA David Grant. He did advance work in Dallas - is the oft forgotten partner of Lawson - and some reports say he was in on one of the Oswald interrogations, though i don't think he ever wrote a report about it. I think Vince said he was Clint Hill's brother-in-law. He died a few years ago. Here are some links to photos of him, an obit and a video. I queued up the video to begin at the point where he's helping load the casket onto AF-1. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?fhid=4443&n=david-b-grant&pid=168833469 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1nIqthuIUY&feature=youtu.be&t=32
  4. Hello, Andrej - FYI, i removed those 2 photos of Sarah Stanton you have posted above (with the glasses) a couple of days ago. When i posted them i was not 100% certain it was her and i only left them up for a day before removing them. My idea was that a family member or friend of the family might contact me and say they were not her, if indeed they were not her. I am confident of the child photo of Stanton and her brothers and sister, that i posted on her memorial, however. I had been researching Stanton for 2 years off and an and had gotten nowhere until i redoubled my efforts in the last couple of weeks. In frustration, I finally shelled out big bucks for subscriptions to Ancestry.com, Archive.com, Newspapers.com NewspaperArchive.com, GenealogyBank.com etc...I connected up all her close family's findagrave memorials and created several of their memorials myself, loading them all up with photos, obits and census data etc...that i had found. After days of virtually sleepless, nonstop genealogical research, i tracked down Mrs. Stanton's mother-in-law and granddaughter, via her 1st son from her first marriage, Jack "Jackie" Lionel Daniel! My plan was to contact them via FB, which they were both on, once i got some sleep. I was so psyched! However, I awoke to the news a couple of days ago that Brian Doyle had posted an alleged photo of Stanton and her son, Larry after contacting her granddaughter. Turns out he had used my genealogical research (i had so helpfully posted on the Stanton family findagrave memorials). He did not contact me to see if i had planned on doing so. I was suspicious that this was what had happened because...what are the chances he would track her down at the same moment i had?! He, in fact, admitted to this is what he had done in a FB forum. I was beyond exhausted and incensed. So, when you see that photo, if it is her, be aware of who did the actual legwork. The people in the photo do look like Sarah Stanton and her son Larry, IMO. However, I have not contacted the daughter-in-law and granddaughter yet to confirm that it is, indeed, them.
  5. Thank you, Greg! Yes, it was a over 2 years ago and i don't think a lot of people saw the thread because it didn't get that many likes...which sort of dumbfounded me. I thought it was a great thread.
  6. Hi Jim! I'm sure you just misspoke about Powell, he was stuck inside the TSBD, not the Daltex.... I did genealogical research on Powell and tracked him and his yearbook photos down in Feb. 2016 in this thread begun by Wesley Riddle on Dennis Morissette's FB group, "Photo and Film Analysis in the JFK Assassination". I used Powell's HSCA identification/bio card which Wesley dug up and posted, to research him. Read through this thread - i've posted many photos of Powell. Wesley Riddle may have brilliantly found Powell in an Allen Photo (posted in the thread), in which there is an unknown man in a white dress shirt standing rt behind the west TSBD glass door. I agree, he looks like he might be Powell - correct age, hair color etc... Btw...this is a great JFK FB group to follow! Here's the link to the Powell thread: https://www.facebook.com/groups/780923448613656/permalink/995944797111519/
  7. Q: Cheeks Sagging at 34? There are some folks who usually for genetic reasons or maybe from weight issues, will show early signs of facial aging like gravitational descent of the cheeks. While the photo is a very limited view and an in person exam is needed, you do look like you have some sagging going on. Perhaps a cheek lift would help. Sometimes fillers in the cheek bone region can also pull up and redrape sagging tissues a little without surgery. SHOW LESS Richard P. Rand, MD, FACS Snipped from https://www.realself.com/question/cheeks-sagging-34-help
  8. Genetics A significant percentage of the population has a genetic predisposition to the jowls. These are people who tend to develop visible jowls at an early age, and whose face otherwise doesn’t have any significant signs of ageing or other damage. If your parents or close family members have or have had jowls, you are more likely to develop them yourself. https://rutlandaesthetics.com/condition/what-are-jowls/
  9. I was correct above in stating that jowls can be multifactorial. Genetics, smoking, aging, wt gain/loss etc... So, aging is not the only factor and her age does not rule out this lady being Pauline Sanders. : https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/jowls
  10. She's the same lady as in the '46 photo. She has the same dark coloring around her eyes/upper cheeks (rosacea?) Just seen from a different angle. While age may be one factor in causing jowls, i'm sure genetics and obesity can be other factors. She's obviously seriously overweight - best seen from the side view in the '46 photo. The '46 other photo is labeled and she's Mrs. R.E. Sanders. Her husband , Robert E. "Bob" Sanders was a longtime teacher at Crozier and her son Robert E. Sanders Jr. graduated from there in '47. Her son and daughter, Susan Jane Sanders, (who attended Woodrow Wilson HS) look like her. Sorry, Chris, I still believe it's her. If you're convinced it's not her then do some digging on Ancestry.com etc... and find a older "Mrs. R.E. Sanders" who lives in the vicinity of Crozier. Tried to upload a photo of the daughter but it says i can't upload any more than 51.2kb...Crazy limits! How can you post anything on here?!
  11. Thanks for the correction and your height analysis, Andrej! I've been lurking when i'm not posting and I've noticed you do great work. I really appreciate all your hard work and graphics! 😊
  12. Thank you, Bart for posting! And thank you, Andrej for the compliment! ❤️ Btw...as i recall, one of her colleagues on the steps (Frazier?) described Sanders as tall and thin. Obviously she was NEITHER. 😜 If she was standing on the first step down you can see she was shorter than Prayer Man/LHO, who was also standing on the first step down from the landing.
  13. Grrrr...these size limits! Says i can only upload 122Kb because i've reached my limit. (Hope this is a daily limit and not a "forever" limit!) To see the other b&w photo go to his findagrave page: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/60685548/william-george-gaudet
  14. Just found a good color photo of William George "Bill" Gaudet which is probably ca '63. I went thru the voluminous photos posted on his son's obit page and there was a group photo with him, his son (William Gerald Gaudet, Jr), his daughter-in-law and grandkids when they were young. From their ages i'm guessing it is probably around '63. Here's the group photo and a closeup of the elder Gaudet i cropped from it . Also including the two i uploaded on his findagrave (from Linda Minor's site) so you can look at all of them w/o having to go to findagrave. NB: Bill Gaudet has an odd little "fork" in his receding hairline bangs which can be seen in the color photo and the B&W photos, so that confirms it is him.: Well, turns out i can only upload 3 of them before the limits kick in so will post the 3 of them here and the final one in the following post.
  15. Hi Greg! Been working on Gaudet's findagrave and the William Gerald Gaudet, Jr. you posted is not the Gaudet but his son (N.B. he has a different middle name - but nonetheless, it is Gaudet's son). Here is William George "Bill" Gaudet's findagrave memorial on which i uploaded 2 photos of Gaudet, which i found on Linda Minor's site. I looked in the Tulane yearbooks for Gaudet's college photos but could only find his name listed ("William George Gaudet") but no photos. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/60685548?memorialUpdated=Yes
  16. Hi, Jim, You're welcome! I'm glad you asked me about his HSCA polygraph results because looking back through my bookmarks for his HSCA testimony and his other Mary Ferrell records, it appears i was incorrect about that. I swore i had read somewhere that he took a polygraph confirming the veracity of his Oswald claims, but i must've been remembering the document you posted along with the mentions of 4 other polygraphs he had while working for the CIA: 2 in the late '50s when he joined, and 2 in the mid '60s when he was associating with some antiwar and (horrors!) civil rights activists. It looks like he passed all of those, but i can't find any proof he actually took one in the '70s for the HSCA. (Although his willingness to take one at that time bodes well for his veracity in my opinion.) I'll revise my findagrave post in that regard. Thanks for the heads up and for all the great research you post on here! PS Btw...in his Mary Ferrell records i found an interesting document that on 11/22/64 Wilcott was arrested for drunkenness. It was documented that he was not a drinker and this was an isolated incident of which he was very embarrassed. Also was surprised to see that in the early '60s before he retired from the CIA he was posted at JMWAVE, of all places. So many coincidental JFK connections for this man!
  17. Here is Wilcott's findagrave memorial. I uploaded a couple of photos of him there, one from his CIA file and one snipped from the 1980 documentary "On Company Business". Both he and his wife, Elsie, are seen in the opening minute or two of the video available on youtube. Uploading them below too in case findagrave removes them for some reason. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/1321428/james-wilcott
  18. Hello Tommy, Well that's your opinion; I have mine. Meanwhile, back to the facts at hand with the Crying Trio. Tommy, how do you square Holt's very short hair in her '63 yrbk photo with the crying woman in the trio who has beaucoup hair?
  19. Hi Bart et al, Just a minor correction to your posting of the Holt yearbook photo. The '63 photo of Holt that you posted is actually her '62 photo. She has much shorter hair in her '62 photo meaning she can't possibly be the middle woman in the "Crying Trio". Below are my yearbook photos of Gloria Jean Holt and Sharon Simmons Nelson along with an Allen photo in which i believe all 3 may be captured in the aftermath. (Not sure about my possible Stella Jacob ID in the Allen photo - but she is in proximity.) As you know, I agree with you that the middle woman is Gloria Jean Calvery - sans glasses - and it was brilliant of you to catch that! Seeing that Crying Trio over the years it never once dawned on me that she could be Calvery, even though i am well acquainted with Gloria Jean Little's yearbook photos. Westbrook said in her 6FM interview that Calvery had red hair and sure enough Calvery did have red hair. Holt and Calvery do look very similar, however, but the hair length clinches it for me. Also below are '58 and '60 yearbook photos of Gloria Jean Little (Calvery) which i colorized using a new app called Algorithmia after neutralizing their green tint with Adobe Photoshop Express (If I uploaded the original greenish tinted photos they colorized really weirdly). They're not perfect but they're the best i could do. Calvery does have red hair as Westbrook described in her 6FM interview. Hope this helps! 1958 1960
  20. I'm with you Larry. Is she still alive? Did she do a Sixth Floor Oral History? So many questions, so little time, BK William and Larry - Dorothy Ann "Dot" Garner (nee Davis) - died the very end of 2012 (b. 8/30/28, Grandview, OK; d. 12/29/12, Rockwall, Tx).: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKW9-LL12 Here's her obit: http://www.dentonrc.com/obituaries-headlines/20130110-dorothy-ann-garner.ece And here's her obit on Tributes.com with a nice photo of her take more recently. She was only 35 in 1963. (I looked for a more contemporaneous photo of her but unfortunately e-yearbooks.com does not have her college yearbooks.): http://www.tributes.com/show/Dorothy-Davis-Garner-94984188 Here's her findagrave memorial. I added her photo and a lengthy caption/bio under it about her significance & the "Stroud Document": http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=119126510 And Larry et al... Vickie and Sandra both DENIED to Barry Ernest that they saw or encountered Shelley & Lovelady by the back door! It was totally fabricated and inserted into Vickie's WC testimony by Belin (the slimebag) or one of his staff in order to make Oswald the 6th flr assassin. As for Garner - she WAS deposed by Belin in Dallas but her deposition completely vanished or was never typed up at all. It has never been found. But Garner told Ernest that she WAS deposed by someone (she couldn't remember his name) from the W.C. at which time she corroborated Vickie & Sandra's accounts stating no one came up the stairs after Vickie & Sandra went down until she saw Truly & Baker come up. The the only remaining proof of this - The Stroud Document - was unearthed by Ernest by accident decades later at the National Archives. It's the smoking gun proving Belin's devious coverup which would have exonerated Oswald from being the alleged assassin. Today, once i found her obit photo, I was looking through the TSBD photos to try to find her. I wonder if this could be Garner standing in the background of this photo with Sandra Styles? Does anyone know when this photo was taken or what the occassion was? Was it when Sandra left employment there, or put in certain number of years? I'm guessing its post-'63: Also....I found this lady crossing Elm who looks remarkably like her. She said she stayed on the 4th flr after the assassination until released to go home at around 2:30pm. Could this be her leaving? The shadows look like it is later in the afternoon. As Scott-Foresman Office Supervisor she would have been nicely dressed like this. This is cropped and enlarged from Murray 16 (on Unger's Murray gallery). I've always found this image moving since she has a handkerchief in her hand and seems so distressed:
  21. Hello everyone... please see my much belated edit to my post #150 at the bottom of pg 10 about O.V. Campbell! I totally screwed up a graphic - not sure where my head was at that moment but I can only chalk it up to lack of sleep and too much research going on at the time! My bad! I mixed up Campbell with an "alternate" Campbell which Tommy put forward briefly and which we briefly considered and quickly dismissed. My bad! Sorry if i had you all scratching your heads! (I'm really surprised no one caught it and corrected me!)
  22. Thank you so much, Tommy! He's totally different than i've always imagined him! I always thought he was young and thin for some reason ...and in a uniform! I'm too exhausted to start a threat tonight... been working hard all day and just posted a major thread at ROKC - tried to PM you about it but it says you are not receiving PM's. I'll try to post it tomorrow. Later!
  23. Really? If it's the guy i see to the left of the "Khaki Guys" - he is short and fat. "Lumbering man" is very tall and big (like the guy I think is OV Campbell) - - a little husky but not rotund like the guy to the left of the Khaki Guys. There is another big tall guy farther to the rt (east) of Truly in this photo Bell photo - what do you think about him? As for the "sliver" of suit on Campbell - I guess i imagined that to be his dark tie or a scarf hanging down the middle. If that's a sliver of his suit .... what is all that white stuff? Is there someone standing there in white that makes it look like he has a white or lt. shirt or jacket on? . I'm lost on the sliver part.... Linda, I'm not talking about where his tie might be. In the Wiegman frame you posted, "Campbell?" is wearing a dress-up coat or jacket, only a small portion of which is visible covering his left shoulder and side because the frame's edge prevents us from seeing more of said coat or jacket. I think your "Campbell?" in that Wiegman frame is the same guy that's in the small yellow rectangle, above, (look at how much of his shirt is showing in both frames) and that he's also possibly the guy who waved Baker up the steps in Couch Darnell. I'm going back to the idea that "Big Lumbering Guy" might have been big Jack Dougherty, in spite of the fact that he testified that he was inside the TSBD at the time. Or who knows? Maybe Jack was up on the sixth floor, planting evidence. --Tommy Tommy...OK!!!! Now I think i finally "see" what you mean about all that white stuff in our original Campbell in Wiegman - when you showed how he is the SAME BIG GUY in the Bell photo (the guy i have the yellow rectangle around him) with his suit jacket unbuttoned and open, and a large area of his torso/white shirt/dark tie exposed. So that is what i'm seeing in our Wiegman "Campbell" (and so the dark area down his middle must be the dark tie as i thought). So we agree - the same big tall guy next to Truly in the Truly Group in WIEGMAN, that I picked out as Campbell being the "Big Lumbering Guy" and whom we have agreed for some time now was Campbell - IS indeed, (still) Campbell! Right? BUT at this point you think, IN DARNELL that same big guy is NOT the "Big Lumbering Guy" I had posited a few wks ago was Campbell wandering bk to the Depository after the shots.......but rather, Campbell has moved up to the steps and is instead the "Waving Man" waving Baker up the steps. Right? Just want to make sure we are on the same page.... So, I take it we still agree, on the identification of Campbell - he's the big, tall guy w/o glasses wearing a dark (might be brown) suit, standing next to Truly in Wiegman (and Bell). Correct? Gotchya! [...] Linda, Yes. Yes. Yes. And keep up the good work! --Tommy PS Sheriff's Detective Roger Craig can be seen in Skaggs 16, talking to Sheriff's Investigator Lummie Lewis (I believe). Behind the red light on the car's roof. Could that be big O.V. Campbell kinda leaning against the car? Thank you, Tommy! Yes, i wondered if that was Craig! Looked like him! So, he saw Dougherty as he was being taken to DPD for questioning! As for Lummie Lewis, I know who you mean but i don't think i've ever seen a photo of him. Do you mean they guy in the blk cowboy hat? (It looks like a blk cowboy hat - it's tiny, at least it's a blk hat). Btw...do you hv a photo of Lummie Lewis? If so, could you please post it or send it to me via Pvt Msg? Thanks! Hmmm....I didn't even pay attention to that big guy! You're right...that's a thought about him maybe being Campbell! My only reservation has to do with the color of his suit (blue) and hair (dk brn or black). In Bell, its obviously a brn suit and his hair is more gingery. Of course, this photo is not true to color and does seem to have a blue hue - note the blocks on the TSBD have a blue tinge and the sky is unnaturally blue. But...i'm not sure adding a ton of blue to a brown suit would make it look blue?...... Well, i took a long time out in the middle of this reply and got MAJORLY sidetracked replying to you! I ended up adjusting Skaggs 16's colors in my photo editor to a more natural hue - got the "blue" out. His suit is still blue and his hair is still dark - not blondish or ginger. So it doesn't appear that particular big guy can be O.V. Campbell. I'll post it here for you. I got majorly sidetracked for hours working on Skaggs and then Dougherty....I have a major post coming about the elusive (no more!) Jack Dougherty, which i'll also be posting at ROKC!!!!!! GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!! Do you want me to post it here? Or is there a Dougherty thread i should post it on here at EF? I've never been on any Dougherty threads here that i can recall. I might have been but don't remember posting on any. Only PM, Truly and Gloria Calvery threads.
  24. Pat, another possibility occurs to me. The initial confusion as to the make of the rifle could have been a ruse intended to make it possible for the conspiracy to swing either way with regards to the patsy. The mauser or the MC, Oswald or Caster. This way both could be innocent, but until the bullet, weapon, patsy was 'concretized' it could have gone either way? I don't know anything about Castor, in fact until you pointed it out I thought the person with the other rifle was a Negro and I didn't know the name. It'll be interesting to see what he had to say himself. Presumably Caster was white? JohnD That's an interesting thought that that had never occurred to me, John! Caster was white, I just did some research on him and found his photo when he was teaching at a NM high school - where he worked till '52 when told the WC he began working at the TSBD for SW Publishing. Here's a photo of him. If you or someone else is a paid member of e-yearbooks.com you could get a clearer photo (i'm not a member) but at least one can get a good idea of what he looks like:
