Who is this?

Yes I'd agree there is no plaid shirt, no collar and even in that lighting you would see the pattern and darker colouration I'm sure.

Might he-------whoever he is--------be wearing a number like this?



If we darken this later FBI photo of Lovelady, does it suggest that he is here wearing just such a two-tone tshirt? (The shirt is of course another matter altogether!)

And yes, we do have to be careful about assuming that absence of evidence of a bald spot is evidence of absence-------------------compare:

Yes, I played about with the levels of the image from the clip in Photoshop and it does really just look as if the neck line is a different colour from the rest of the shirt rather than there being a second shirt on top. The other darkened image you have just posted suggest something similar - but as  have said on other threads you have to be careful of course when 'enhancing' images as things may appear which aren't really there.

Does anyone know when Jack Daugherty died? or if by some small chance he is still alive?

Dougherty was 40 in 1964 which would make him 97 if still alive, that would be younger than Jim Leavelle when he died.

Agreed! 

But if that's Mr Lovelady's 11/22 tshirt we're seeing in the FBI photo, it suggests that he was indeed directed to bring his 11/22 clothes to the photo session. In which case---------what the heck is he doing in that vertically striped short-sleeved shirt?

I read somewhere that he was told to wear that one and told them it wasn't the one he wore that day but they said to wear it anyway. Sounds odd, but will see if I can find where I read that.

From Spartacus-educational website

'Lovelady later explained that when he was interviewed and photographed by the FBI, he had not been told to wear the same shirt he had worn on the day of the assassination and that, in fact, he had been wearing a long-sleeved, plaid shirt when he was standing in the Texas School Book Depository doorway.'

Make of that what you will but that's where I read it.
