The girl in blue

[Charles Collins]

It appears to me that Toni Glover has not yet published her book. But she did participate in the oral history project at the sixth floor museum. Has anyone here checked her interview out? Please let us know. Thanks

I had an email dialogue with Ms. Glover several years ago and asked her specific questions about that day.  She was very credible.

Yes, I agree. The comments she made here were too. Was all that lost when the forum was reworked and we all had to re-register?

It’s been a long time since I posted on this forum. 1. Book actually finishing up. Look for “Being There: The girl in Blue”. It has as much detail as I could remember. And remember, memory is a bitch.

  Just reading through the Glover article that was done shortly before the 50th Anniversary of the assassination. That article reflects poorly on Sixth Floor Museum "Curator" Gary Mack. Glover goes to Curator Gary Mack "around 1995". 30+ yrs after the assassination, tells him where she was standing, the Blue she was wearing, and Mack and her begin combing through assassination films & photos trying to locate her? The 1st film they viewed together she did Not appear in? Mack should have known right off the top of his head the films/photos that captured the area of that stone pedestal she said she was standing atop. 30+ yrs after the fact is a very long time. How can THE Curator of a JFK Museum not know the visual evidence connected to the assassination like the back of his hand? The "Men Who Killed Kennedy" was shown in 1988, and Oliver Stone's "JFK" came out in late 1991. We all know the immense scrutiny that these presentations drew to the JFK Assassination. Yet, here "around 1995", we have the Curator of the Sixth Floor Museum Not being familiar with the JFK Assassination visual evidence when an assassination eyewitness walks in and presents herself and her position inside Dealey Plaza on 11/22/63? The Curator's lack of knowledge/depth makes the Sixth Floor Museum look like a House Of Mirrors.

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to your book! Please let us know when it becomes available and where to find it!

Don't be too hard on Gary Mack. He only showed one or two videos before getting to the Bell film, and both showed the corner of Elm and Houston. I went to the museum in 1995, chickened out, and left. Came back again in 1999 before I got my PhD and moved to Pennsylvania. That's when I spent time with Gary. Bob ? (I don't know his last name) did the first "oral history."

I found some differences between my first oral history and the latest interview. First oral history "I could only see grey burst from his head. I couldn't see blood, but it sparkled in the sunshine."
Last interview. "I could only see grey blast out of his head. I couldn't see red blood or any sparkles." I'm sure there are many more. To that problem I say, "memory is a bitch." It comes and goes. The human brain just doesn't work like a computer.

My favorite description of memory comes from Mary Carr.
"Memory is a pin ball in a machine.
It ricochets between image, idea,
fragments of scenes, stories you’ve heard.
Then the machine goes tilt
and everything stops."

So forgive witnesses whose 'story' changes from time to time. We do the best we can. It was 62 years ago.
