Ruth Paine QA 9/22 at Texas Theatre JFK assassination film premiere

[John Iacoletti]

Ruth’s talk is peppered with “I didn’t know then, but I later learned”.

Right. Learned from people spinning a narrative...

So it wasn’t a lie then. He did receive an honorable discharge.

And the selective service board sent him a draft card in Minsk in Feb 1960 that showed that he was classified as  4 A ..the highest rating for a draft classification.

There are several questions in the city of Irving’s version of Ruth Paine’s talk that aren’t included in the Dave the insurance guy’s video.

Notice at the 19:15 point RP is talking about Buell Frazier and asks if Buell Frazier is in the audience .... The camera focuses on Frazier immediately so apparently RP already knew that Buell was in attendance, but she pretends to be happy that he is there....  It's very obvious that Buell Frazier DOES NOT like RP.   He does not stand up nor does he smile.   

I was there.  Ruth had nothing to do with the camera crew filming on behalf of the Irving Library.  In other words, for those who need me to explain in more detail, just because a member of the camera crew knew Buell was there did not automatically mean that Ruth knew for sure whether or not Buell was going to attend (until she saw him).

Here is a pic I took of Buell posing with Ruth with his arm around her....

What the heck is she chewing?

Her voice started to go out so she sucked on a couple of cough drops.

Hey Bill, where were you sitting?

[Bill Brown]

Hey Bill, where were you sitting?

I was with Dale Myers, 2nd row, on Ruth's right.  In fact, the fellow she talks about who bought her station wagon was part of our group.  She looks to her right at him when she mentions it.  We were all sitting together.
