Shanet Clark Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 There was a small shed behind these horizontal slats in 11/63 but the re-enactment captured the light streaming through this structure in the ambush zone..........sniper? radio? observer? film?

Hey Shanet! I think you mean the opposite side. The shed is still there today. http://us.share.geocities.com/quaneeri4/Dealey_Plaza2.jpg Robin's site... - lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think he was in the pergola? Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think he was in the pergola? Kathy I don't believe that anyone was in the pergola - but that is only my opinion. This is a Willis5 which a researcher let me have - he got it from the packet of postcards that Phil used to sell - from Mrs. Willis. I believe there is a set for sale at present on eBay. I interpolated the entire photo to a 65mb bitmap - here is a crop of the area in question. It does appear that someone is standing on something behind the pergola - that's my impression. Also, it would have been possible to squeeze between the toolsheds on the opposite side of the structure and have a minimum view out through the openings, which remaining unseen on almost all sides. I have some photos I took of and from this location, but I'll be dammed if I know where I put them. - lee Edited June 28, 2007 by Lee Forman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Forman Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Used Roberdeau's plat to try to get an estimate on the perspective of Willis at the time he took photo 5 and the 'window' available to an individual in that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanet Clark Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Thanks Lee. That re-enactment photo is pretty significant, I think.... <the late John Roselli> Edited February 8, 2008 by Shanet Clark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should also be noted that the side street in front of the TSBD was full of spectators that would have made cover slim to none. The Willis photo shows both shelter openings at the time of the first shot and not only was no seen in the openings with a gun, no shot heard from the shelters, the field of view would be very constricted. One more thing worth considering is whether or not anyone looking through the shelter opening could even see the President 4' up from the center lane with a line of people standing along the curb. Someone would need to be elevated as high as Zapruder was so to be able to see JFK over the top of the crowd.
