Calvery MAY even have met Shelley and/or Lovelady NEAR the island....". I have no idea what this Specifically means. "MAY"? "NEAR"? We are dealing in seconds here. The alleged traveled distance of Calvery in 25 seconds being absolutely critical. Yet, you choose to employ the disclaimers of "May" and "Near"? Not only is this weak choice of wording Not convincing, it also signals that even You have doubt. Thanks again for providing that link to the Ed Forum.
Dear Comrade Storing,
Don't you know what the modal verb "may" means?
It means "might".
Regardless, didn't Shelley testify that he spoke with a crying Calvery on-or-near "the island," and that Calvery told him that JFK had been shot?
Since Calvery and her dressed-in-all-white work colleague (Karan Hicks or Carol Reed) were standing only about
40 yards from 'the island" during the motorcade, don't you think ten seconds (not 25) was enough time for them to reach said "island" and for Calvery to tell Shelley there that JFK had been shot?
Rhetorical question: Do you think Shelley and Lovelady somehow stayed on the steps for "about three minutes" after the final shot but somehow left them and started heading for the railway yard / parking lot as soon as Gloria Calvery told them that JFK had been shot?
Are you still not convinced that that's big/tall, dark-blue-blouse-wearing and dark-blue-head-scarf-wearing Calvery standing on a lower step in Couch-Darnell about 30 seconds after the final shot?
