Title: Was June Dishong "Captured" At The Left Edge Of Full-Frame Altgens-6?
Post by: Thomas Graves on February 20, 2019, 10:24:43 PM
For purposes of cross referencing the people in this photo (Altgens-6) with those in the Zapruder film, let it be noted that we can see hard hat-wearing A. J. Millican in both, and that in the Z-film there seems to be a woman in a blue raincoat between Unger's and Roberdau's "Jane Berry" and "Maggie Brown,"  who can also be (barely) seen wearing a light-colored headscarf in Betzner-3 and/or Willis-5, just like my little "June" Dishong is wearing in full-frame Altgens-6.

Fwiw, "June" seems to have been Dishong's nickname. Her true full name was Mrs. Inez Juanita Hart Dishong (Dishong's an old English surname), and she was born around 1909 in Minnesota. She was apparently married to Ralph E. Dishong and was living in Irving,Texas, at the time of the assassination.

Thomas,
Would you kindly please explain why you replace Dishong.classic for this newer version? For so long she was noted on Roberdeau's map as being next to Karan Westbrook, but we know that is not right. Dishong's same day journal entry indicates she wore a jacket to the parade, and then latter removed it. The Cabluck photo shows that  jacket hanging from her left arm. Your Dishong.new is wearing a long coat. Here is Don's announcement on alt.conspiracy.jfk some 15 years ago.

James,

Thanks for asking.

IIRC, I did some googling about a year ago and found on a genealogy website (or a people-finder website or some-such thing) an "Inez Juanita Hart Dishong, born about 1909" who was living in, or had lived in, Irving, Texas (she died in 1998 and would have been around 53 years old at the time of the assassination). You can probably find a link to that source and/or the info contained therein in a post I made at the time at the EF.

Anyway, I intuited that "Inez" and "Juanita" were probably Hispanic names, and based on that, I intuited that she was probably fairly short in stature, both of which "My Dishong" appears to be in Altgens-6. I also intuited that "June" was her more Anglo-sounding nickname. ("Dishong" itself is an old English name.)

Another thing that "factored in" was that, after I'd convinced myself and a few others at the EF that the traditional (dark-complected) "Gloria Calvary" (sic) in Robin Unger's Z-frame and in Don Roberdeau's map must have been self-described American Indian Stella Mae Jacob, instead, Sandy Larsen and I started wondering where the real Gloria Calvery was in the Z-film, and tentatively concluded that the group of four Southwestern Publishing Company colleagues who claimed in their FBI statements to have watched the motorcade together on Elm Street -- Calvery, Hicks, Reed, and Westbrook -- probably comprised the group of four headscarf-wearing women in Zapruder, and since that seemed to be the case, especially after our spoting in Couch-Darnell a black-blouse and black-headscarf-wearing woman at the TSBD steps about 25 seconds after the final shot, who was in very close proximity to a woman on the steps wearing a white dress and a white headscarf, led me to ... gasp ... speculate that "June" Dishong, who worked at a garment factory a few blocks away and who, according to Westbrook's FBI statement, apparently watched the motorcade with said Southwestern Publishing group, may have decided to "follow suit" and wear her headscarf, too.

Two more things that"factored in":

1) When you look closely at Betzner-3, Willis-5, and Zapruder, there seems to be another, probably much shorter, woman in that headscarf-wearing group, someone who is so short as to be hard to spot in the photos and the film,

... and ...

2) Using hardhat A. J. Millican and blond journalist Mary Woodward in Altgens-6 and in Zapruder as "landmarks," it's easy to see that the far left edge of un-cropped Altgens-6 (where My Dishong is standing after having waved at JFK about three seconds earlier) seems to end right where the line of four headscarf-wearing women I've been talking about, above, begins in Zapruder.


As you can see, there's a terrible, terrible, terrible amount of highly verboten intuiting and speculating (detective-like thinking?) on my part, but IMHO, the woman at the far left of un-cropped Altgens-6 looks to me as though she could be a 53 year-old Hispanic (or half-Hispanic) woman, and she's in exactly the right place to have watched the motorcade with the just "off stage left" four-member Southwest Publishing group that's so easy to see in Zapruder, and she is ... gasp ... wearing a headscarf, just like the other members of that apparently "group cohesiveness"-conscious (or unconscious -- LOL) group.

LOL


Edit: Since Inez Juanita Hart (Dishong) was born in Minnesota about 1909, I'm now starting to think that she might have been Native American in ancestry ...

Edit #2:  Here's a photo I just now found of her and her husband's gravestone in the Oak Grove Memorial Cemetery in Irving, Dallas County, Texas:

Millican and some of the people around him in both (e.g., journalist Mary Woodward https://www.jfk.org/oral-history-project-memory-2017/mary-woodward-circled/ ).

In the Z-film there seems to be a woman in a blue raincoat who is pretty much hidden between Unger's-Roberdau's Maggie Brown (correct) and "Jane Berry" (wrong), which woman's head can also be (barely) seen wearing a light-colored headscarf in Betzner-3 and Willis-5, just like my little ol' "June" Dishong is wearing in full-frame Altgens-6, right there at the beginning of the ("off stage left") Southwestern Publishing Company contingent.

     Among the Many questions surrounding this Altgens Photo is the Gent in the Hat pictured above the woman being discussed. This guy for whatever reason is Not close to facing/looking at the JFK Limo. The man has been alleged to be sitting on top of a short wall, but in order for this to be true he would have to be situated atop the wall as if he were riding a horse.

PS  Now that the "official," really really really "set-in-stone" position of Westbrook has been switched four spaces to the right with her 2017 Sixth Floor Museum interview with Stephen "Smilin' and Noddin'" Fagin, with whom do you believe Dishong is standing (on her left) in Unger's largely xxxxed-up Z-frame?

An unknown Mysto Woman?

No clue.

It's not very rational or scientific to make up an answer and then look for evidence that you guessed right.  Try letting the evidence itself determine what your conclusion is.

Possible "odd woman, out," eh?

Now that you've decided dark-complectioned Stella Mae Jacob left her two colleagues somewhere else and supplanted somebody (Reed? Hicks? Dishong??) in the five-person Calvary Group.

Thomas,
Thanks for sharing your reasons pointing to your alternate blue coat Dishong. I must say Dishong's family memories, per Roberdeau, and her own personal notes are compelling for me. But who knows, maybe someday a family member will come up with photos that will settle the matter.

Anyway, thinking about your original posting I modeled for my own interest the witnesses from about the Stemmons's sign to Millican. Your ?new? Dishong was rendered center frame in bright green for easy location. Views from Zapruder, Betzner, Altgens and Moorman approximate locations are shown with insets taken from Robin Unger's collection. Moorman does not give a clear image to decide if, or where, she is standing at that time. However, Gloria Calvery stands out in profile fairly easy to recognize :-).

James,

Thanks!

Excellent job, and a great aide in helping members and guests see, in Zapruder and Atgens-6 (and, hey, maybe even in Betzner-3) the rather short, headscarf-wearing woman I've been talking about.

Regarding Dishong's poignant same-day, written-down memories of the assassination, I don't see how they conflict with my theory as to where she was standing during the motorcade.

However, Roberdeau's claim that at least one of her relatives positively identified her in Betzner-3(?) as one of women standing about twenty feet nearer the Triple Underpass than "My Dishong" bugs the heck out of me.  LOL

I can only speculate that Roberdeau might have consciously or unconsciously "guided" that relative to that particular (unknown, imho) woman in Betzner-3 because he knew from Westbrook's FBI statement  that Dishong had watched the motorcade with Westbrook and Calvery, et al., and because he had already made up his mind (incorrectly, as we now know) exactly where Calvery was.

PS  In Betzner-3 (a crop of which you posted, above) I don't see your woman in the blue dress between "Lady All In White" and "My Dishong" (whom you highlighted in green), so that's a bit of a mystery to me ...

PPS  Thanks for including Moorman "3", James.

Mr Graves, are you referring to KarenWestbrookImage as "the woman in the blue dress between Lady All In White and Your Dishong"? In Betzner3, it appears to me that the SSA in the SS Limo is blocking two LadyImages, who I believe represent KaranHicks and CarolReed, with GloriaCalveryImage and KarenWestbrookImage visible. The LadyImage in question, who I had previously referred to as BlueCoatLadyImage, appears to be barely visible above the view blocking SSA's right shoulder. And, I believe that the attired in green mannequin represents the Image aka BlueCoatLady, that may or may not represent InezJuanitaDishong.

Larry,

I'm talking about James' graphic reproduction of Betzner-3, above, in which he has a woman dressed in blue and wearing a white headscarf standing between "Woman All In White" and "My Dishong" (whom James has highlighted in green for us).

I don't see that woman "in blue" and wearing a "white" headscarf in the Betzner-3 photograph, although I do see her in the Zapruder frame.

Based on Westbrook's and Calvery's tall statures as we know them from the December, 1963, Southwestern Publishing photo, I believe that that tall woman dressed in "blue" and wearing a "white" headscarf in Zapruder is Karen Westbrook, and that the tall gal at the other end of that line of four headscarf-wearing gals is, of course, Gloria Calvery

I'm just surprised that, although I can see the tilted-down and light-colored-headscarf-covered head of shorty Dishong in Betzner-3, I can't seem to see the tall, darkly-dressed, light-colored-headscarf "Westbrook" next to her in Betzner-3 ... although James apparently can.

-- Mudd Wrassler Tommy  :)

PS  I'm glad that James posted Zapruder frame # 129, above, because in it we can see a small part of shorty Dishong's light-colored headscarf, peeking at us from her position in front of and in between those other gals.

Well, I see her in the supplied cropped Betzner3 Photo. Re-reading my post, if you can see NotTallLadyImage/aka BlueCoatLadyImage,(MrsDishong?), said PersonImage is to KarenWestbrookImage's front-left. And, both LadyImages are visible over the SSA's right shoulder whose head appears to block KaranHicksImage and CarolReedImage in said cropped Betzner3 Photo.
I do believe James sees it correctly. And, this Reply is not meant for debate, as it only confirms what I see represented by the Images as shown in Betzner3 Photo.

Dear Larry,

Perhaps what you're seeing to the immediate right of "Woman All In White" in Betzner-3 is "My Dishong," not "Westbrook".

Thomas,

About the white headscarf of my rendered Westbrook, my homemade mannequins can only show one color for either hair color or covering e.g. scarfs. For all four rendered POVs the models were completely unchanged. I meant to mention that but did not. Why we fail to see that white scarf in authentic Betzner3 is due to the scarf's position about half way behind the front of her head so we see her dark hair from his POV,. Follow her in early frames roughly 015-032. Don't blink, her head turn is quite rapid but gives us a good side view of her dark hair several inches forward of the front of the scarf.

I had totally forgotten about that photo.
I was unaware of Dishong's name showing in any FBI report. The online FBI report (CE1381) at the History Matters web site is a searchable PDF, and she did not show up anywhere in that exhibit. I'm not sure her name was known in JFK lore until Roberdeau published his findings.

Her family's recollection were her identifying herself in a LIFE magazine photo as being the fourth person from the Stemmons sign. That seems like a Zapruder frame. I don't know if Betzner3 or Bronson were published in LIFE. I interpret his words about her appearing in Betzner and Bronson as Don's commentary.

James,

Going from memory here and I might be wrong, but I believe that although Dishong herself was not interviewed by, nor did she give a statement to, the FBI, she was mentioned in a FBI statement by at least one of the four gals in the Calvary/Hicks/Reed/Westbrook "party" as being a tangential member thereof.

Edit:  Turns out I was very, very, very wrong about that.  Just now re-read the FBI statements of Calvery, Hicks, Reed, and Westbrook and found no mention of Dishong therein.  Don't know how I came up with that silly idea, now.  Maybe because I looked for so many years at the Z-frame labeled by Robin Unger (with help from Thierry "Fake News" Speth and Robin "I'll Get It Right Eventually" Roberdeau, and it brainwashed me into thinking Dishong must have been standing next to Karen Westbrook during the motorcad?


If Dishong's relative (or Dishong, herself) "identified" her/herself from behind in the Zapruder film or a Zapruder frame, one must wonder how accurate they could have possibly been (from behind!), and whether or not they were encouraged to pick out that particular mystery woman as "June".

We already know that Karen Westbrook mis-identified herself in a Zapruder frame in 2017, so apparently it's easy to do.

LOL

Regardless, it's my understanding that Betzner-3 was published in Life magazine in November, 1967.

For what it's worth, Dishong's daughter allegedly told Don Roberdeau that her mother worked in the Higgenbotham-Bailey Building (about five blocks from Dealey Plaza in the general direction of the "Old Red" courthouse).

It's interesting to note that in her "memoir," Dishong alludes to having watched the motorcade with at least one other person from work.

Could it be that she watched it with only one other co-worker, and that that unnamed person was mis-labeled as "Westbrook" in Unger's Z-frame (and in Roberdeau's map) back in the day, i.e., the woman wearing the yellowish-pinkish-orangish dress to the left of (possibly correctly labeled "Dishong") in Unger's infamous Z-frame?

Dear Larry,

Perhaps what you're seeing to the immediate right of "Woman All In White" in Betzner-3 is "My Dishong," not "Westbrook".

-- Mudd Wrassler Tommy  :)

The version of the cropped Betzner3 Photo that I am looking at has the LadyImage, aka your "Woman All In White", blocked by the high back seat riding SSA whose name escapes me at this time. And, if in color, B3 would likely indicate a light blue head scarf wearing KarenWestbrookImage attired in a white/light blouse and a blue/green jacket or vest with a matching skirt, with/next to NotVeryTallLadyImage, aka BlueCoatLadyImage, who is also wearing a light color head scarf, to Karen WestbrookImage's front-left.
 That is what I see Tommy, and have seen for some time, and can't imagine any interpretation modification.


Based on current indications, if correctly identified, the LadyImage attired in a reddish/grayish blouse and dark skirt standing to StellaJacobsImage's left appears to represent InezJuanitaDishong, who appears to be along side LadyImage attired in a beige/yellowish dress. And, NotTallLadyImage remains not positively identified.
At least that would be my indicative information based conclusion.

Thomas,
I put her just where she was indicated by Don Roberdeau, A long time ago, in the previous millennium, I was curious to know the ID of the woman to her left. It appears that she was a co-worker of Mrs. Dishong ? both working elsewhere than the TSBD. If your hunch is successful that might open the door for someone to sleuth their identities. No big deal.

Dear Royell,

You sound like a tinfoil hat-wearing "photo alteration" conspiracy theorist.

You should look at a map of Dealey Plaza and realize the curvature of Elm Street, where the smiling, blond-haired, and well-identified Mary Woodward was standing with her three journalist colleagues, the position of Altgens when he took the photo, exactly where JFK's limousine was on Elm Street when then the photo was taken, etc.

The limousine was well past hardhat man A.J. Millican and the others when the photo was taken, and many more cars were still approaching them, including the car that LBJ and his wife were riding in.

Also, if you buy into eyewitnesses looking all over hell's half acre there on Elm St, how is it that Not a single one of these Looky Lou's, or Any JFK Assassination Image managed to capture SA Lem Johns jumping out of the LBJ SS Follow Up Car and then running Up Elm St toward the JFK Limo? This issue along with Prayer Man, the Fire Escape, etc has this image smelling to high heaven. Even Altgens during his WC Testimony questioned whether he could have captured this image based on his assigned physical position vs his camera lens setting limitations.

Dear Royell,

The people "captured" in Altgens-6 got to see JFK's face and Jackie's face as the limousine was approaching the sharp turn, while it was negotiating the curve, while it was nearing them, and while it was passing them on Elm Street.

By that point several of them had evidently experienced enough up-close viewing of the photogenic and charismatic couple as to not have to become fixated on viewing the backs of their heads, as well.

Bummer, huh?

Maybe not, but it does tell us that the four consecutive white women to the right of shorty "Dishong" in Altgens-6 (and to the left of her mostly-hidden person in Zapruder) can't comprise the four-woman "Calvary Group" (the members of which said in their cross-referencing FBI statements that they "went" down the north side of Elm Street together and watched the motorcade together) for the simple reason that those four women to the right of "Dishog" in Altgens-6 and to the left of her in Zapruder are already "spoken for" -- journalists Alonzo, (blond-haired) Woodward, Donaldson, and Brown.

"Your" preferred "Calvary Group" in Zapruder has already been shown to actually consist of self-described American Indian Stella Mae Jacob (just ask Linda Giovanna Zambanini), strawberry-blond Gloria Jeanne Holt, and light-blue-headscarf wearing Sharron Simmons, all three of whom were "caught" not only in Zapruder, but in Betzner-3, the 2-second Darnell clip, Bronson, and the Tina Towner film, as well.

Given the above, where do you NOW believe Gloria Calvery can be seen in Zapruder, or any of the other "motorcade" photos and films, Iacoletti?

When four friends or colleagues go to an event together and, while standing "shoulder-to-shoulder," watch it, would you expect them to tell their friends (or the FBI for that matter) that they were "standing shoulder-to-shoulder," or even "standing next to each other"?

Wouldn't "I watched it with them" or "We watched it together" suffice, and even be a more normal way of expressing what they did as individuals than, "I was standing next to X,  and she was standing next to Y, and she was standing next to Z, while I watched it," or "We were standing next to each other as we watched it", or ... gasp ... "We were standing four in a row" as we watched it"?

Iacoletti,

In their FBI statements they said they were "with" each other while watching the motorcade.

A "reasonable man" would take that to mean that they were "standing next to each other" during the motorcade.

Shall we have a poll on that?

Is it so unusual for four work colleagues to stand next to each other while observing a publicized outdoor event in the midst of a lot of strangers or people who might work in the same building, but in a different office?

What's really interesting is that we can see in Zapruder that they really did stand next to each other, or if you prefer, "four in a line"/"shoulder-to-shoulder".

See, the thing is Westbrook's truncated "Calvery Group" isn't comprised of "uhh ... probably Carol Reed, Gloria Calvert (sic) and me, Karen Westbrook," but dark-complected Stella Mae Jacob, strawberry-blond Gloria Holt, and light-blue-headscarf-wearing Sharron Simmons.

So, where in the photos and films can you find Calvery, Hicks, Reed, and Westbrook (be it standing "shoulder-to-shoulder," in two groups of two, one-and-three, or ... gasp ... as individuals rubbing elbows with "strangers" -- "with" each other only in a "spooky action at a distance" kind of way )?

Oh yeah, and on the north side of Elm Street and standing, as each one of them said in their FBI statements, "about halfway between Houston and The Triple Underpass?

Hmm?

Okay. How about just Karan Hicks and Carol Reed?

Hmm, okay the, how about just Karan Hicks?  Can you spot her in the crowd? (Near the "midpoint")

I know that?s what you think. That doesn?t make it true.

I don?t know. That doesn?t make your speculation-based hunch true. Unlike you, I don?t look at blurry images and pretend to see details that are just not there.

LOL. You don?t know that?s Hicks either.

I know exactly what the FBI statements say. They say they were ?with? each other. That?s all. They don?t say that they were standing 4 in a row. And as you yourself noted, the statements are nearly word for word identical which raises the question of whether they were even made independently by their supposed authors.

Besides, you?re the guy who says the FBI falsified Stanton?s and Arnold?s statements. Why are you relying on them for this?

Iacoletti,

If Tom, Dick and Harry walk together to an event where it's "standing only" (like a presidential motorcade), which is Dick more likely to say later: "I was with Tom and Harry when the President went by" or "I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Tom and Harry when the President went by"?

D'oh

It doesn?t matter.

If Tom, Dick, and Harry walked to a gathering together and stood in the same general vicinity as each other with other people interspersed, they might still say ?we were with each other?.

Iacoletti,

1) If that's the case, and if Westbrook is correct in her identification of herself and Calvery in the Zapruder film, then shouldn't we be able to spot Karan Hicks and Carol Reed "near the midway point"on the north side of Elm Street, you know, either paired-up with each other or "interspersed" individually with other members of the crowd?

2) If work colleagues Tom, Dick, and Harry had walked together to Elm Street to watch the motorcade, but had stood the way you suggest, i.e., "individually interspersed with other members of the crowd," when they were making statements to the FBI after seeing the President get shot, do you really think Tom, for example, would say, "I was with Dick and Harry when the President was shot"?

LOL

I don't know why you think it's so trivial to "spot" people from the backs of their heads in Zapruder, or from blurry images where people are blocked by various members of the motorcade or by each other.

How about if they were standing twenty feet from each other?

Nonsense.  You can't determine somebody's height in a photo without some known quantity to calibrate it to.  Why do you think they put these little height charts behind people in photos?

(http://www.reformation.org/oswald-fake-height-chart.jpg)

If you think you can determine heights with your "naked eye" then please tell us how many feet and inches tall tall this person is and if she is taller or shorter than orange scarf woman in Zapruder.

Don't just assert that the sweaters "match" -- demonstrate it.  What criteria are you using to identify it as the same object?

What plaid skirt?

All it means is that you have an active imagination.

Iacoletti,

It's oh-so "just like you" to post that photo of that gal showing her with nothing in the foreground, mid-ground, and/or background for size comparison purposes.

Like I said, you (foolishly) do and say scandalously disingenuous things with your oh-so-clever mind.

Unlike Iacoletti, who professes to strive for establishing and defending the veracity of TRUE (i.e., "CT") FACTS and debunking evil, evil (i.e., "LN") FALLACIES, but falls short in both categories, I try to tackle misconceptions wherever I find them.

You create more than you ?tackle?.

Iacoletti,

It only seems that way to you because you're either virtually blind, or have a hard time following written instructions regarding where and how to look, or you have a "Damn The Evidence -- Oswald Innocent At All Costs" agenda.

Still can't see the more-or-less-vertical, washed-out-by-sunlight areas on your "Glasses Woman's" face (her right side) and hair (in the middle) in Betzner-3?

Perfect example.

You are brilliantly stubborn to the point of scintillating obtuseness, Iacoletti.

Just because you think you see some kind of detail, that doesn't mean that it's obvious to everybody.

Iacoletti,

Have I said that the things I'm trying to point out in the photos, frames and films are "obvious"?

If so, my bad.

I should have said, "Tricky to spot in even the best copies and at ideal enlargements, but discernable."

When did I ever say Oswald was innocent, and what the hell does that have to do with your alleged ?striped skirt? on black-blob anyway?

Let?s talk about narcissistic ?researchers? who think that whatever they imagine that they ?see? is reality?

Iacoletti,

Yes or No?

Yes or No?

I don't believe he did and I don't believe he didn't.  The evidence is insufficient to prove either claim beyond a reasonable doubt.  IMO.
