Why did Oswald go to the movies?

[Steve Howsley]

The manager leaves his shop unattended and gets promoted?

He was a good citizen. He probably helped prevent more murders by Oswald's hands. I'd imagine Brewer was a local hero who improved sales in the shoe shop. Of course his employer looked after him. It would have been bad for business to not do so.

He received an award a few years back I believe. Probably an award for saying what the WC wanted him to say though ....

[Steve Howsley]

Was it a reward for saying the correct (in the eyes of the WC) things? I wonder what he was doing that he was expecting to be fired?

So now the owner of the chain of shoe stores is in on the conspiracy?
When the conspirators held their 10th year anniversary get together back in '73 they must have hired a venue like Shea Stadium so everyone in on the plot could attend.

[Nicholas Turner]

If you both think it's a great idea today how do you explain it wasn't done in '64 when everyone was still alive?

No idea.

[Rob Caprio]

He received an award a few years back I believe. Probably an award for saying what the WC wanted him to say though ....

Probably. Just like he received a promotion when he himself thought that he should be fired.

[Steve Howsley]

Why are you deflecting my question?

Not deflecting. Just like you I don't know the answer either. Let us know if you come up with something.

[Steve Howsley]

So why the interest (as opposed to BELIN's lack of interest)?

My interest on a scale of 0 to 10 is hovering around around 0.3
I am curious if there was another employee in the store as his use of "We" is interesting but not in a significant way. I'm guessing we'll never know unless Brewer is still alive and can answer for himself.
