There are two different names for this woman. In the 70's, J. Gary Shaw and Larry Ray Harris interviewed a woman who claimed to be her, and she worked at the Terminal Annex building.  LArry Harris worked there himself in the 70's, and that was how he located here.  Her name was Francine Burrows. 

 Another woman, Toni Foster came forward and she is the person hose name you are seeking.
Thank you Steve.
I think the person referred here as "stick-man" was Toni Foster husband.
In her year 2000 interview she is stating:
"Just like everyone else, we knew President Kennedy was
coming so we were trying to hurry and get downtown to see him.
We were listening to the radio to follow what areas he was in; so
we were hurrying... Then he (her husband) wanted to go down near the underpass."
" I remember, for myself, I was looking for my husband. I
knew he was in the line of fire from where he was and I was trying
to find him."
Here are Toni and her husband in Bronson film:

Here are they in Hughes:

And Hughes again:


So what is referred here as walkie-talkie most probably was a radio.

Another thing that caught my attention in Toni Foster interview is the following:
"And I remember everything stopped for me. I remember
[his head] looked like confetti, it was just blown off. It hit him
back here [puts her hand on the right rear of her head] and it was
just like confetti. The spray went behind him."
Will have to consider posting my confetti cannon theory again. Or maybe not?

I've read Toni's full testimony and there is no mention of having a portable radio at all (she says they arrived and parked - they were listening to the car radio)... So, her husband remains a person of suspect in my opinion.
Is Toni's testimony credible and believable?
If so, consider this very interesting part of her testimony from the same interview:


I know the Governor and Mrs. Connally were there but I wasn?t even thinking of them. I don?t mean that in an inconsiderate way but it?s just what I saw. They were protecting themselves too. For some reason the car stopped. It did stop for seconds. I don?t ever know why it stopped and all of a sudden it sped up and they went under the underpass.
I could never figure out why the car stopped. [Mrs. Kennedy] started crawling out the back of the car crying and screaming (whatever it was she was screaming, I can?t remember).

Testimony?  From where?  And why do you suspect Toni Fisher's husband?  Where is your proof that the man in the Bell film has anything in his hand? The film is too blurry to draw any type of conclusions.  All I see is a hand against the dark shirt or jacket he has on.  I know you are a master at relying on terribly blurred, terrible quality images, but this is totally ridiculous.  How do you know that isn't a transistor radio in his right hand?  He definitely has a squarish object  in his right hand, in plain sight, and yet you claim he has a walkie talkie in his left hand which cannot be seen.  all I see is his hand cupped, and Toni could be shouting something to him and he is trying to hear her, and my offering that as an explanation isn't any more ridiculous than your claiming he is holding a walkie talkie(which cannot be seen except in your imagination)only because his hand appears to be close to his ear.

We'll let the pictures from the Bell film speak for themselves... It appears the man has walkie talkie in his left hand while he is running.... He would be a person of suspect in my opinion... Here's the full scene:

I am letting the frames from the Bell film speak for themselves.  I see absolutely no indication that guy has anything resembling a walkie talkie--or anything else for that matter--in his hand. You are seeing things if you think that you can define any detail in this grainy, blurry, film clip.  How do you expect people to take what you say you see seriously when there is no way on this earth you can define an object--let alone a walkie-talkie--in this?  You are the same guy who posts blown up blobs from video images and say that you see a person, or a gun, or this or that, so I have to take this into consideration.

Thank you Steve. I am sure we can find them in other films and photos.
