Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

There are two important aspects to Karen Westbrook Scranton's revelation concerning Mrs Reid in her "Living History" interview. Firstly, it corroborates Reid's version of meeting Oswald with a coke in his hand in the second floor office.

No, actually it doesn't.  It just corroborates that Reid told the same story.  It's not an independent account.

So it would appear we have a corroborated first-hand eye-witness account of Oswald being on the second floor seconds after the shooting which itself confirms, to a certain extent, the second floor lunchroom encounter with Oswald and Baker.                                                 

No, not even to any extent.  Mrs Reid didn't know first-hand that Oswald came from the lunchroom or that there was an encounter there.  And in Westbrook's account, there is no mention of where Reid was when she saw Oswald or how long after the assassination.

[Dan O'meara]

It's unreasonable to assume that these 4 people all marched (or ran) together in lockstep after the assassination.

Agreed. They were not in lockstep.

And yet somehow you know that they were all back at the building "in less than 30 seconds".

Running back to the TSBD from the site of the assassination would get you there in well under 30 seconds. Probably half that time.

[Dan O'meara]

You finding something "hard to believe" does not constitute "evidence".

Agreed. I didn't suggest it was.

[Dan O'meara]

No, actually it doesn't.  It just corroborates that Reid told the same story.  It's not an independent account.

It was poorly phrased. It does indeed corroborate that Reid told the story of her encounter with Oswald before Oswald was arrested.
I'm obviously not suggesting that it was an independent account. That's a silly thing to say.

No, not even to any extent.  Mrs Reid didn't know first-hand that Oswald came from the lunchroom or that there was an encounter there.  And in Westbrook's account, there is no mention of where Reid was when she saw Oswald or how long after the assassination.

To the extent that Oswald has just come from the lunchroom (full bottle of coke in hand) seconds after the shooting has finished. The Truly/Baker account of the lunchroom encounter marries perfectly with Reid's in terms of timing. The two accounts (Reid's and Truly/Baker's) corroborate each other.

[John Iacoletti]

Agreed. I didn't suggest it was.

More evidence that prayer-blob is not Oswald 

[John Iacoletti]

To the extent that Oswald has just come from the lunchroom (full bottle of coke in hand) seconds after the shooting has finished.

But Reid wouldn't have known that he came from the lunchroom.

[Dan O'meara]

  How very tricky of you.
The 'evidence' I was referring to was Scranton's corroboration of Reid telling the story of her encounter with Oswald  before Oswald was even arrested. We know from Reid this encounter took place seconds after the shooting finished.
I most certainly was not suggesting that what I found unlikely was evidence which is what you were asserting.
Nice try though
