Credit to Robin Unger for use of his McIntire photograph in the gallery. This was used for the cropped & enlarged frames in my animation below, and also the full sized photograph. These crops were only slightly adjusted in contrast before the highlight circle was added. The highlight circle adds 69% in brightness within itself. Focus is on the Texas School Book Depository....S-SW corner. There looks to be small "bites" in both the letters "O" and "L" in the CHEVROLETS portion of the sign on top of the roof. Closer examination shows what may be two figures on the S-SW corner of the roof. So just who was on top of the roof at this time?? walkietalkie2 Comments welcomed.

Bill, I'm still stuck here at work, so I have no access to any of my photographic software programs. Just looking at the image I provided the link to in Robin's gallery, right now I think I could safely say that the height of those two ventilation stacks (?) seem the approx. equivilant to the "raised walls" around the roof's outside parameter. Maybe Gary Mack could venture up there with a tape measure in hand...measure their height and then measure the raised parameter wall heights for us?? Also, I feel the alignment of these two stacks are located too far in the northerly direction....and are also set back too far away from the roof's parameter raised walls to have ever been seen from McIntire's location. This fact along with their height pretty much kills the chance they could be seen in the McIntire photograph. Which still leaves the question....who was this one (& possibly a second) individual(s) atop the TSBD roof seen in McIntire while still less than a minute after the shooting had ceased and the limo sped off in route to Parkland Hospital??? walkietalkie2 copxx  Rick

There are similar anomalous dark spots above the R and O in CHEVROLETS.
Mark, Is there any way you could "circle" or "arrow" what you're seeing and post that here? Thanks, Rick

Rick, Gary Mack will see this on the roof:  Oops sheeshxx Ok. Thank you Miles. I guess that idea goes down the tubes. I was not aware of the drastic changes to the rooftop. I suppose a "re-enactment" of sorts could be done. Someone would have
to be located at the approx. McIntire position. And prior to that, something
similar in both shape and height could be set on the approx. position where
we see these two ventilation stacks on the rooftop. And if the parameter
"raised wall" height has changed, propped temporary boarding could be
placed to simulate the actual height it was back then....and see what a
photo would produce. A lot of work, but maybe well worth the efforts walkietalkie2 Rick

Rick, I can later but for now just look to the top right of the R and dead center, just over the O. Darker areas than the surrounding grey, like those you pointed out below.

Mark, I can see the two dark spots you refer to. But I don't think they look anything like what I'm seeing. I have enlarged the image below, and have added outlines. You'll note that further to the left....from the corner of the roof, I have added in what may be a third individual. But of the three outlined areas, I feel confident the one furthest to the right....at the corner roof area....to be an individual in that location. Again, nothing fancy at all about these images, other than being enlarged and a slight contrast enhancement. You'll have to excuse my outlined areas. I'm not the greatest at doing these things yet.

These "structures"/ventilation stacks could very well be tall enough to show up in the McIntire photo. Also, a structure located on the roof some feet back from the wall, if it were tall enough, would give the illusion of being right at the wall.

I highly doubt it Bill. Besides, you are correct on one point. IF they were tall enough, they would give the illusion of being right at the wall. IF.....

You should be trying to find out how tall off the flat roof surface the wall was. I bet it is a lot less high than you think.

You should be trying to find out how tall off the flat roof surface the wall was. And how Geoff do you propose I do that since the roof parameter wall is no longer this way today? Here is a crop and enlargement from the 1968 photo in Robin Unger's photo gallery. I have circled in yellow and added arrows to the only section visible in the photograph which shows the wall height... from the rooftop upwards. This distance looks to be fairly close to half the height of the buildings windows. I'm guessing those windows are at least 6 feet in height. So, I would approximate the roof parameter walls back then somewhere around 3 feet in height. Does this sound reasonable to you?  By As a guest, you are not allowed to view links.
