Zapruder's "stick-man" was using a walkie-talkie!

[Patrick Jackson]

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:

No doubt his left hand is up to his ear but absolutely no chance to say it is walkie-talkie for sure. Toni Foster said they were listening the radio but does not specify car built-in radio or hand portable one. I have no doubt this is her husband.
This threatens to become new time traveler same as Charlie Chaplin lady with cell phone.

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?

     In the background of the still frame that shows Foster having moved across the south grass to a Standing position close to the Main St curb, we also see Mr & Mrs Chism running on the sidewalk and the Camera Cars moving by them on Elm St. These same Chisms and their very young child were filmed by Wiegman walking East on Elm St at the Beginning of his film. The Chism's are again filmed by Wiegman at the tail End of his film, but by now the Chism's physical position was High on the extreme Eastern portion of the knoll. The time it would have taken the Chism's with their very young child in tow to move from the sidewalk area on Elm to High Up on the knoll shows there is a problem with the accepted time line of the Wiegman Film.  Wiegman either had his camera turned off longer than it took him to sprint down the knoll Immediately after he filmed the Alleged Hesters, or there is missing Wiegman film footage = lost time. Perhaps this missing footage verified Wiegman's account of running into SA Lem Johns UP on the knoll?

      By 1963 a radio in the dashboard of a car was very common. Why would someone listen to a transistor radio and run down the batteries inside it, when they had the option of simply using the car radio?

Well, we do not know what Toni meant. Maybe they had both, in car and transistor one. Common sense says, OK, they were listening the car radio while they were driving and once they parked the car (probably not too close to Dealey plaza) they took transistor and listened the progres of the motorcade. In any case, appart from radio issue not being clear, this person position in Bell film coresponds to Toni statemen about her husband.

Royell, yes, correct. A radio in the car was much more common than a transistor radio in 1963. I would think that most skilled investigators would be correct to assume the reference to radio was a reference to the car radio, and especially after reading her describing the order of events...

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. When we did arrive and parked my husband said, ?Let?s go over to Main Street to get a picture of them as they come around...."[/b]

Of course, looking at these old films, one could hardly even prove JFK was sitting next to Jackie for goodness sakes!... So there is no claim that there is full clarity of exactly what this fellow is holding in his left hand up to his ear, while running... but his motion and behavior appears suspect, and if I were on the scene in '63, I'd call him in and ask a few questions....

    On a Hi Def screen this Bell Film footage via "The Lost Bullet" is clearer. The guy definitely was holding/griping something in his (L) hand as he sprinted across that S. Knoll grass toward Houston St.

The guy isn't on the south knoll; he's on the grass infield located between Main and Elm.

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

 I agree.
