You're claiming a Lovelady "HSCA INTERVIEW" in which he claims it, "took him about 20-25 minutes to return to the TSBD". I prefer to rely on Sworn Testimony. In his WC Testimony, Lovelady says that he and Shelley walked down to the 1st set of railroad tracks and stayed there for, "just a minute, maybe a minute and a half". They both then immediately entered the dock and then entered the TSBD 1st floor. Lovelady also says that He and Shelley STAYED on the TSBD 1st floor for "30 minutes". So obviously your claim of Lovelady "Waiting" to get inside the TSBD is incorrect. He and Shelley were already inside the TSBD for roughly 30 minutes.
As I said earlier, I have read the Ed Forum Link that was posted.
Dear Comrade Storing,
The following is from Brian Doyle's "Prayer Woman" Facebook page.
It's his rough transcription summary of Billy Lovelady's two-part HSCA interview which he says Richard Gilbride originally posted at a website that evidently is not allowed to be mentioned here.
I've cleaned up the grammar and vocabulary quite a bit, but I didn't fiddle with the meaning of what he wrote.
Google "Billy Lovelady HSCA Interview Part 1" and "Billy Lovelady HSCA Interview Part 2" if you want to listen to the poor-quality recordings.
"Just after the 29:00 mark in Part 1 of his HSCA interview, Lovelady mentions that a woman “ran up” and said that the President had been hit, and he identifies her as Gloria Calvery. He then says that after Calvery said the President had been hit, “we” left for the railroad yard and implies that they soon came back and went into the building through
one of the side entrances the back entrance. Then around the 31:00 mark, he describes the situation inside the building after they got back inside, wondering whether they should go back to work. At the 31:40 mark, the roll call is discussed.
In Part 2, Lovelady says that Truly and “the police officer” (Baker) ran up the steps and he connects this with shots having been fired from the 6th floor and Truly’s and Baker’s investigating it. He says he didn’t know the reason for their ascent at that time, only later. Then Secret Service agents and others came in and wanted to go up to the top floor, so Lovelady took ten to fifteen of them up in one of the freight elevators.
After taking them to the 7th and 5th floors, he takes them to the 6th floor and says that he was standing near the freight elevator when they found the shells. He also states that he witnessed the discovery of rifle from about 50 feet away. He times these finds to 20-25 minutes after his arrival back inside the TSBD.
Around the 08:20 mark he states that the first time he spoke with a law enforcement and had his primary statement taken was at 1:30, one hour after the assassination. The second time was in the evening, and he confirmed that he was in the Altgens-6 photo when some FBI agents showed up at his house at 6 pm.
After that, he is shown a still from the Martin film which shows him on the front steps with his 5 o’clock shadow, and he confirms that it’s him. A voice in the background (Robert Groden) says that this still is from between 8-15 minutes after the assassination. Lovelady is seeing this image for the first time. His wife is present as well and recognizes him in that image. This part is interesting due to the interaction between the interviewer and Lovelady. Sean Murphy posted about Billy Lovelady at the Education Forum in 2013:
'In the first part of his HSCA interview, Billy Lovelady is shown an image he has never seen before: a frame from the John T. Martin, Jr., film showing him (Lovelady) standing over by the east side of the TSBD entrance some 15 minutes post-assassination. Lovelady identifies himself immediately.'

More Doyle (paraphrased):
"The biggest revelation is saved until the very last, at 29:20. When Lovelady was asked by the HSCA lawyer how many minutes after the final shot he reentered the TSBD, he said '20-25 minutes.' So, when he was 'captured' on film standing and smoking on the front steps in the Martin and Hughes clips, he evidently hadn't gotten back into the building, yet, which makes you wonder how he and Shelley had gotten back into the building through a side [sic; should have said back] entrance approximately 15 to 20 minutes earlier?"
