Lovelady in Darnell and it's Ramifications.

[Lance Payette]

   What "photo"? Who took a "photo" of 2 guys moving down the Elm St Ext?  We are talking about a film snippet/still frames from the Couch Film showing 2 guys moving down the Elm St Ext toward the railroad yard.

At least look at the Prayer Man site before you keep blathering. Bart isolated and enhanced frames from the Couch film, and they clearly and unequivocally show Lovelady's distinctive shirt. Prayer Man may be a one-trick pony, but you are beating a dead horse.

None of the above has anything to do with "Prayer Man."

Dear Comrade Storing,

When you say "Prayer Man," do you mean a female employee of the TSBD as she's "holding" the reflection of the shiny door handle?

Who said it did?

As I recall from my research (and this is from memory), there is no doubt Calvery encountered Shelley and Lovelady on or near the TSBD steps. Lovelady made clear he wasn't wearing a watch and guessed her arrival was three minutes after the shots. Shelley guessed three minutes after the shots based solely on his estimate of the time that she must have taken to travel from her location along the motorcade route. The time she actually took is whatever the hell she took, which I assume was less than their estimates - but who cares? Both said they first went to the island. Shelley said he saw Truly and Baker at the TSBD entrance but did not see them enter. Lovelady said he looked back when someone shouted and saw them enter. They then fast-walked or trotted down the dead-end part of Elm to the first set of tracks and stayed a short time. One of them, I believe Shelley, said they watched autos being searched in the parking lot for a brief time. They then entered through the open double wooden doors on the west side at the Houston Street dock. Shelley, as I recall, saw a Black guy (perhaps Piper?). Lovelady said several people had reentered the first floor and he saw Shelley either talking to a woman or a woman standing near him, whom he thought could be Adams but he wasn't sure. This would suggest Shelley and Adams were talking about two slightly different time periods - but who cares? Both said some distinctly "unhelpful" things, including thinking the shots had come from the west (Lovelady actually saying the knoll). Wouldn't their three-minute estimates also be grossly at odds with the official story of the lunchroom encounter? Do you seriously believe the WC lawyers browbeat Shelley and Lovelady into telling absolute whoppers just to discredit Adams - and, if so, how do you explain Styles completely discrediting Adams for no apparent reason (other than the truth) long after the fact? I fail to see how any of this adds up to any big deal.

the Prayer Man site is a goldmine and Bart Kamp has done invaluable work.

I agree. I use that site from time to time.

Several years ago, I joined the Facebook group dedicated to discussing Prayerman. After a couple of days of posting there, Bart Kamp politely asked me to let myself out of the group. I did so. I thought that was nice of him.

 Oh, so you now wanna take back your claim of a "Photo"? I just commented on the Lovelady shirt of that guy going down the Elm Ext being Joan Rivers Fashion Police worthy. You have no idea what has transpired throughout the course of this thread.

What I called "photos" is in fact a series of stills that Bart isolated from the Couch film. Is this an issue, something I need to "take back"? You are quite right that I have no idea what has transpired on this thread or how it has reached 25 pages because it involves what I regard as a non-issue and several participants I regard as some of the biggest loons on this forum. I have no idea what your Joan Rivers reference is supposed to mean. I simply said that if you or anyone else doubts that is Shelley and Lovelady, you (or they, as the case may be) are demonstrably wrong.

Dear Comrade Storing,

You're full of high-fructose beans.

Lance was obviously referring to the frame from Couch-Darnell in which Bart Kamp, by adjusting the contrast, etc., was able to make more distinct the stripes in the "Lovelady" figure's shirt.

You sound desperate.

At considerable risk to my sanity, I skimmed the last 10 pages of this thread. I must now congratulate myself on my wisdom in previously ignoring it. I did note, however, that Tim made pretty much every point that had occurred to me, including (1) not thinking the guy labeled in red as Shelley is Shelley at all, and (2) not quite understanding what the hell this thread is all about. I did see a couple of references to the Huge Gates, and that's always good for a giggle.
