Good evening,
First, before addressing Mr. O'meara's response to me in reply #670, certainly admire & respect the respective contributions of Mr. Clements, Mr. Plant and Mr. Ford within this thread. Well done gentlemen...way to go!
That said, out of respect for Mr. Ford's ongoing concentrated efforts/focus upon the shadow running along Mr. Lovelady's arm and what it may mean, I'll be brief in my response to Mr. O'meara and encourage him--if he agrees--to table his response until the discussion regarding the shadow running alongside Mr. Lovelady's arm is adequately and thoroughly given the attention it deserves.
That said ---->
Good evening Mr. Ford
You must surely be aware of the Stroud Document which contains a reference to Dorothy Garner seeing Truly and a policeman coming up the stairs. As we now have the evidence you seek we can conclude the ascent of Truly and Baker did happen.
Yes, of course, I am aware of the Stroud Document. However, seems you left out a few key details: (A) Mrs. Garner shared that she indeed saw Roy Truly several times that afternoon, but--her words not mine--do not recall precisely when; and, (B) note she said on one of those occasions when she saw Roy Truly she saw him accompanied by a policeman (the problem here is she does Not specifically detail Marrion Baker as that policeman).
Given all we know about this dear lady's attention to time & details (read Victoria Adams' critique of her keen boss), it's safe to come to the conclusion that IF it were Marrion Baker she would have said so. Moreover, IF it that policeman had been Marrion Baker she would have had the full advantage of four decades prior to her interview to have become familiar with him and Roy Truly's fictitious tale about their dash together up those backstairs. Even with that advantage, she did Not specifically name Baker as the policeman at that interval of the few times--her words, not mine--that she saw Roy truly that afternoon post assassination.
Again, Mr. O'meara, I'm willing to defer to the gentleman (Mr. Ford) already on the floor opening the discussion up further on the shadow running alongside Mr. Lovelady's arm: and, ask that you & I table our discussion for a later interval. That said, best wishes to all for a safe, happy & healthy holiday season right into the new year.
