Where is any supporting evidence of Whaley's WWII combat award?
Why did Whaley's birth year, consistent in all records, birth, multiple US census, on his son William's 1931 birth certificate, and on his 1940 draft registration, change from 1908 to 1905 sometime after that?

Why was Whaley's son and namesake raised by his deceased mother's sister and considered her husband to be his father?

The title of the thread describes the stories of the rather leisurely escape transport modes of "the lone assassin with a scrambled egg for a brain," as "innocent Bus and Cab rides".
Can we at least stipulate both "escape ride stories" are only as innocent as the presenters of them? In this thread I have established that Mary Bledsoe was the first cousin of RD Matthew's first cousin, "Jake" Germany, son of Bledsoe's uncle Jewell Rawlston Germany and Matthew's aunt, Adelaide Senter Germany.
In this earler post in this thread,
https://www.jfkassassinationforum.com/index.php/topic,3071.msg115670.html#msg115670..I established that Matthews and Jake Germany were born about a year apart and resided in a household in 1930 that included the two boys, the two Senter sisters (Matthew's mother and her sister Adelaide, Bledsoe's aunt by marriage) and the grandmother of both boys, Ida Senter.
In 1961, the record available @Mary Ferrell archive supports that the ex-wife of RD Matthews and mother of his daughter contacted law enforcement out of concern that her teen aged daughter had gone to visit Matthews and the ex-wife was concerned Matthews would turn their own daughter out as a prostitute.

Considering RD Matthew's associations and reputation as an enforcer of gambling debt collection, IOW, a "bone breaker," is it not conceivable he was "pulling the strings" of the nearly incoherent "witness," Mary Bledsoe?
In the past, WC Report "custodians" posting on this forum
attempted to explain away the evidence-rich observation that, sometime after 1940, taxi driver, WC witness William W. Whaley changed his d.o.b. from June 19, 1908, to June 19, 1905.
If Whaley lied about that, and lied in claiming to Aynesworth that he was awarded the Navy Cross for combat activity "over Iwo Jima" in 1945,
how would he not be relegated to the "circus clown" witness status of Earline Roberts of, "I had to let her go.... she is a teller of tall tales," as described in the WC testimony of Gladys Johnson, owner of the North Beckley rooming house Earline Roberts was employed in on 11/22/63 as the housekeeper?
One WCR "custodian" explained away the fact that Whaley moving his birth year from 1905 resulted in his mother, Lona Haynes Elam, being impregnated at age 15 and marrying in 1907, two years after Whaley's birth, by speculating that Whaley was in fact born in 1905 and the 1908 birth year in all Whaley related records up to and including his 1940 military draft registration record, and in the Whaley family bible and in a genealogy published in 1935 (see image, above)
were to conceal Whaley's mother's shame over giving birth two years before marrying Whaley's father, Oscar?
So... my question is, who was caring for the "baby Whaley" allegedly born on June 19, 1905,
while Whaley's mother was living as a typical teen ager, seven months later, in Fedruary, 1906?

These incidents took place just two weeks before the birth on June 19, 1908, of the William Wayne Whaley of Dallas who registered for the military draft in 1940, providing that d.o.b. to the local draft board. Lona Elam Whaley's mother died in 1903, so was absent when her father and two siblings journeyed from Shelbyville, TN to participate in family activity related to the impending birth (and after) of "the other" William Wayne Whaley!
