Now!
The above scenario would tally very nicely indeed with the testimony of Mrs Geneva L. Hine:
Mr. BALL. Do you have any definite recollection of Mrs. Reid coming in?
Miss HINE. No, sir; I only saw four or five people that came by and they all came and were all talking about how terrible it was.
Mr. BALL. Do you remember their names?
Miss HINE. Yes, sir.
Mr. BALL. Who were they?
Miss HINE. Mr. Williams, Mr. Molina (spelling), Miss Martha Reid, Mrs. Reid, Mrs. Sarah Stanton, and Mr. Campbell; that's all I recall, sir.
Now!
Here's what Ms Karen Westbrook says Mrs Reid was telling her supervisees up in the office shortly after the assassination:
?Mrs Reid said that she?when everybody was walking and milling and so forth?that Lee came to the door with a coke in his hand and said, ?What?s all the excitement about???When everybody was walking and milling and so forth-----------this does
not describe the empty office 2 minutes after the assassination, does it?
It describes the front lobby (or, if you prefer: the
vestibule)!
Was the door that Mr Oswald came to (in Ms Westbrook's words) the door of the small storage room mayhap? Or even the glass front door to the building?
Certainly the incident as Ms Westbrook remembers Mrs Reid as having told it makes no sense in a space------the second-floor office area------in which there were
no people at all 'walking and milling about'!
I think Mrs Reid blabbed to her co-workers about having seen Mr Oswald in or near the storage room just after the shooting and was unable to walk it back.
After the Baker/Oswald/Truly encounter at the front entrance had been moved up to the 2nd fl lunchroom, poor Mrs Reid had little choice but to move her own Oswald sighting up a story too!
