The resolution is excellent. If they were made from the original negatives they are valuable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Doudna Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The second photo in Cory's linked article of JFK, Jackie, and Connally on a parade route cannot be from Dallas Nov 22 because it looks like a different limousine, Connally is in a different position and Nellie Connally seems missing. Can anyone identify the location and date of that photograph of JFK, Jackie, and Connally? On the sidewalk of the spectators of that photograph, third figure from the top right of the photo, top row, there is a woman talking on a corded telephone, while standing on the sidewalk. Can anyone explain what that is about--someone holding a telephone receiver with a cord to her face, talking on a telephone while standing on the sidewalk watching the JFK parade go by? I assume it is a woman from the hair, possibly it could be a man. How many people in 1963 talked on corded landline phones while standing on sidewalks?

That's not a woman, that's David Ferrie in his wig! Corded mobile phones seem more military, i wonder if Ferrie brought it from the lake Pontchartrain camp.

Mark Ulrik Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Greg, it's from Fort Worth. There's a very similar photo in this article: PHOTOS: President John F. Kennedy’s visit to Fort Worth on day of assassination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo a radio reporter using a prc25 (or a set like it) live radio transmission set, the man next to her/him is carrying the battery and antenna. Prc25 had a civilian version if i am not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: your first para, This is JFK and Jackie and Connally leaving the Chamber of Commerce breakfast. They went by car to Carlisle Air Force Base and flew to Love Field airport and then they got into the Kennedy limousine, the one he was killed in. Nellie Connally did not sit with her husband on the drive from the Hotel Texas to Carlisle Air Force Base. Jeb Byrne, an advance man brought in late to Texas trip planning explains: ( see https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2000/summer/jfk-last-day-1 ) "A Secret Service agent from the Washington detail came back from the President's car escorting Nellie Connally, the governor's wife. There was no room for her in the President's car, which was a five-passenger model, the same as the Vice President's car. The President and Mrs. Kennedy and Governor Connally would ride in the rear seat of the President's car. The driver and agent Roy Kellerman would be up front. So there was no place for Mrs. Connally. But the Vice President's car was now reserved for the Johnsons, Yarborough, and, of course, Johnson's Secret Service agent and driver. The senator showed signs of relinquishing his seat to the lady. O'Brien, his face working, quickly moved in. To accommodate larger occupancy of the car, he ushered Mrs. Connally into the middle of the front seat. The Vice President and Mrs. Johnson came out of the hotel and approached the motorcade. O'Brien stepped back as Mrs. Johnson entered the car, and I stepped forward." Your 2nd para, I don't think that's a woman. Yes, there is a curled corded telephone line. It could be either someone with the media or part of JFK's security, possibly with the White House Communication Agency. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Backes Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 People, try and save copies of these images. The Altgens 6 one is great, especially if you can save the ability to enlarge the heck out of it. It's one of the best I've seen. Save 'em all. Auction has ended I believe.
