    Rich wasn't the only one in the US who claimed to have seen it. I'm certain Greg Burnham did and 2-3 others whose names I just can't recall anymore. I'm open to the idea of a second film, but where could such a good film  have been taken from the area in which Zapruder was also filming? There is no photographic evidence that I'm aware of that shows another individual filming. As to that French source, it's not believable imo. 

    The 'other film' refers to the original un-altered Zapruder film, not a film shot by a second photographer.

    Personally, I'm undecided as to whether the Zapruder film was altered.

    No mention of the film depicting the turn onto Elm from Houston. The Feds claimed Zapruder started, then stopped his film, only restarting his film after the limo was pointed down Elm. Zapruder was certain he had kept filming continuously.

    I have heard this before but I can't seem to find a verification source. I thought it might be in the Shaw trial transcripts, which I have, but I now can't find where Zapruder said he never stopped filming.

  3. Ten year old me was in the fifth grade.  At about 2 o'clock EST the intercom started playing the radio news that the president had been shot.  At about 2:30, the announcement was made that the president was dead.  The principal came on the intercom and dismissed the students for the day.  When I got home, the tv was already on with the assassination coverage.  It was quite monumental for this 10 year old.

    I'm told that the white Ford Galaxy on the right facing is 1966 model. Arizona plates.



     

    Not to nit pick but the car of the right is a 1960 Ford determined by the taillights.  I'm pretty sure the car on the left is a 1967 Ford Fairlane.

    Looking for more info on the Lansky - Ruby connection online I came up with tidbits about what I'd mentioned above.  I did stumble across this old post on Lansky by author Carl Oglesby.  The Yankee and Cowboy War: Oglesby, Carl: 9780425034934: Amazon.com: Books  I found it fascinating and couldn't resist linking it.

    I'd really like to read that book but it's way out of my price range.

    Your highest priority should be the view from behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll.  At the x's, if there still there.  

    Note the Bronze the plaque on the East side of the TSBD stating "Alleged Assassin", underscored by others. If it's still there

     

    As of last year, both of the above are still there.

  7. Congrats on your impending visit.  I was 10 years old when the assassination happened.  I have been fascinated about it ever since.  Last year, at the age of 67, I made the trip to Dallas which was a bucket list thing for me.  Just being in the plaza was awesome.  All things Oak Cliff (Oswald rooming house, Tippit shooting site and the Texas Theater) are very close by Dealey Plaza.

    Enjoy your visit!

    True or not...the Chad Mills story above is a compelling read.

    One time years ago, one of our members posted a suggestion that others join him in helping me financially, especially to fund a trip to Dealey Plaza.

    For some reason he was inspired to do this touching magnanimous act for me.

    This member was retired from some type of theatrical career. In New York City I think.

    He was not in good health himself at the time of his posted project of helping me and getting me to Dallas.

    This wonderfully well meaning fellow sadly passed away maybe 6 months to a year later?

    His "Lets Help Joe" posting was met with some derision by a few other members.

    Surprisingly only two or three however. And nothing came of it regards any funds collected and sent.

    Of course, as soon as my friend first posted his "Go Fund Joe" message I immediately personally e-mailed him and after offering him the most sincere thank yous, told him that I was okay. I could very easily live without going to that sacred JFK place, Dealey Plaza.

    I think I even posted this message on our forum pages. I was a little embarrassed even regards the original post.

    But, to this day I have never forgotten this incredibly thoughtful and generous member and his kind wishes for me.

    And I do not think anything like what happened to me regarding one member seeking some well meaning shared assistance for another, or even someone else in the JFK truth seeking community is anything but moral and good.

    I think the forum can withstand such an act of kindness ( rarely posted-maybe once every few years?) without worrying whether this is a flagrant violation of Forum rules that threatens the integrity and main focus of it's purpose and goal.

    Just my 2 cents.

    That was definitely a nice gesture to you.  I do hope that someday circumstances will allow you to visit Dealey Plaza.  That was always a bucket list thing for me and finally, last year, I made the trip at age 67.  It was quite the awe inspiring experience.
