Mr Billy Lovelady

[Ray Mitcham]

So you're not querying the meticulous sun angle calculations of Mr Stancak or Mr Hackerott and have no counter-analysis of your own to offer. Yet you don't wish to see the obvious implications of the sun's angle for your reality-denying belief that what is causing the darkness down Mr Lovelady's right side is shadow from the west pillar.

Got it! 

No. I am not querying either of those two, but I am suggesting that Lovelady is further to the west of the steps than you believe.

As for reality denying belief, I don't have one, but I can understand what happens in photographs.

As you don't think the black is the shadow, what do you think caused it, Fakery?

So Mr Lovelady is standing directly behind Mr Carl Jones in this frame?

yes but slightly to his left.

Seriously?

You seriously don't think it is the shadow of the left pillar? Sheesh.

The post you are replying to here was my response to Mr Freeman, not to you!

You are engaging seriously in the issue, he is not.

Apologies, Alan.

[Alan Ford]

No. Behind and to Jones's left.

But you said that "Lovelady is standing directly in front of Prayerman". Is that really what you see here?



And here?



It's blindingly obvious that Mr Lovelady is well to the east of Prayer Man, and hence well to the east of the shadowline!

[Alan Ford]

Apologies, Alan.

Not a problem!

But!

Mr Lovelady's arm in the Altgens photo never was Mr Lovelady's arm, and the realization of this led to... complications.

Now!

Allow me, friends, to state once again the most important point:

The man in the doorway in the Altgens photograph is not Mr Lee Harvey Oswald but Mr Billy Nolan Lovelady!

The FBI knows this, but they also know that they have a job of work to do if they are to convince the public of this-----------and thereby close down a major threat to belief in Mr Oswald's guilt.

And so the FBI, in their zeal to make Mr Lovelady's appearance conform as fully as possible to the apparent appearance of the doorway man in Altgens, photograph him on 29 Feb 1964 in a short-sleeved shirt with several buttons open to show a white tee shirt underneath.

However!

In mid-March, the Oswald-Acted-Alone investigation gets wind of a film taken by Mr John Martin, Jr. Upon studying his film, they discover to their horror that Mr Lovelady is shown standing on the steps in a long-sleeved red/black/white plaid shirt---------just after they have gone to the trouble of putting Mr Lovelady on the record about a short-sleeved shirt with vertical red and white stripes, and photographing him in that shirt!

Thus what began as a (semi-)benign fiction will ironically only serve to fuel conspiracy suspicions about the Altgens photograph and about Mr Lovelady himself for years to come...

Back to 1964:

The official script must change:
-------Mr Lovelady must have misunderstood the instructions given to him ahead of the photograph session
-------the FBI must have misunderstood what he said about the shirt he was wearing that day.

From here on in, it's bye bye unclothed lower arm of Mr Lovelady... and hello plaid-covered lower arm of Mr Lovelady!

But it was never Mr Lovelady's arm to begin with
---------------a fact all too unfortunately revealed in another film taken of that entranceway...

The Wiegman film!
