The First Shot

[Tom Graves]

You are imagining head turns that don’t exist in the case of Rosemary Willis, JFK and Nellie.

Rosemary Willis started to look away from the Presidential limo back towards the Texas School Book Depository at Z-140.

JFK began quickly turning his head to his left at Z-143.

Nellie began a quick sweeping head turn to her right at Z-144.

If you can't see this, perhaps you should get a new pair of glasses.

John Chism and Mary Woodward recalled that the last right head turn and wave of JFK was before the first shot.

The operative words are "last" and "recalled."

Regarding the former, JFK's last (as in final) wave began around Z-173, right before he passed behind the Stemmons Freeway sign and was hit in the lower neck/upper back by Oswald's second shot at Z-222.

Regarding the later, Chism and Woodward "recalled" this several hours, days, weeks, months, or years after the startling and traumatic event.

FWIW, in Z-133 we can see that JFK's right hand is near his head because he's just finished waving to someone (Woodward?), which wave he must have begun before Oswald's first, missing-everything shot half-a-second earlier at "Z-124."

Anyone with normal vision (evidently not you) can see that he lowers his hand over the next couple of frames until it's all the way back down at Z-150.

   The Willis Girl is looking to her (R). Stop attaching the TSBD to her.

The Willis girl is looking to her right.

Correct.

She's not looking at JFK and Jackie, she looking in the direction of Clint Hill (behind whom is the TSBD).

Thanks for corroborating that.

  Yes, "to the (R)". You continue attaching the TSBD to this. Stop trying to pass your opinion off as being a fact.

Comrade Storing,

My bad.

Rosemary Willis from about Z-145 on was looking, not at JFK and Jackie, but in the direction of Secret Service Agent Clint Hill, behind whom, of course, was the TSBD.

    How about the Dal-Tex Bld? Was the Willis girl looking at that too?

"The Willis girl"?

You mean Rosemary Willis?

Sure, Rosemary Willis probably looked at the Dal-Tex Building, too.

Why not?

Afterall, she, like many people who heard Oswald's first, missing-everything, somewhat muffled shot at "Z-124," thought it had come from the general TSBD-DalTex direction.

The important thing is that she had stopped looking at JFK and Jackie and started looking in that direction by Z-140, about a second after said missing-everything shot.
