Title: In Search of the Childhood Lee
Post by: Jerry Freeman on April 04, 2020, 01:27:18 AM
I ran across the testimony of a Mrs Mildred Sawyer which was taken in New Orleans...
Mrs Sawyer was a neighbor of Marguerite back in the early '50s.
Quote
Mr LIEBELER. Did you become acquainted with Mrs. Oswald to any extent during the time that you lived at this Exchange Place?
Mrs. SAWYER. Not really, because well, she was old enough to be my mother, I might say, and our working all the time and so was my husband--and then I was connected with the opera group here and I was out most of the time, and when we met it was usually on the stairway or in and out the door, once, in awhile talking on the steps, perhaps. About the most we did was bid each other the time of day, and that is about all, and, of course, the little boy the same thing. And I say "little boy" because to me he was a child when I saw him. I can vaguely remember, or I have a mental picture of, a little boy with blond, curly hair and rather nice looking, and that is about all I can say, and once In a while if he happened to be going out or coming in at the time I was going, he would always open the door and hold the door for me, and he seemed quite polite.

Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember anything about Lee Oswald, the boy that lived there? I think you told the FBI that he would always get home before his mother and he was very quiet.
Mrs. SAWYER. Well, I say I am not certain that he always got home before his mother. I imagine he came home from school, because, as I say, occasionally I met him going up and down the stairway or at the door or something like that, but he was not a boisterous child and undoubtedly he was not an unruly child, because I am sure if he had been and she had scolded him we would have heard it unless it was very low voiced and----
Mr. LIEBELER. And you never did hear any arguments between them or any scolding?
Mrs. SAWYER. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did he seem to be polite?
Mrs. SAWYER. Yes; quite polite.
Mr. LIEBELER. As far as you can recall, there was nothing peculiar or particularly outstanding about this boy that would call notice to him to distinguish him from other boys his age?
Mrs. SAWYER. Really, no; I wouldn't say anything that I can think of, and, as I say, I never came in contact with him long enough or spoke to him, and they were just average people. She just seemed like a very average mother, and I rather imagined in my own mind that she worked and probably did all she could to take care of him as any mother would. About the only thing I remembered about him was the fact that he was rather a nice-looking little boy, and his blond, curly hair.
Twice.... Mrs Sawyer mentions a youth with BLONDE--CURLY--HAIR ...and described a polite and apparently obedient child.
Are we talking about this youngster....?

Sigh.... I'm guessing Armstrong and Trump are a "two fer".

Mildred Sawyer told FBI interviewer Oswald and his mother moved in next door in late 1955. She said he was a teenager who read a lot. One year later, Oswald was enlisting in the USMC.
Jerry is presenting images of a younger person, presumably because Mildred Sawyer changed her description of her former teenage neighbor?

Quote
On October 15, 1956 HARVEY Oswald was interviewed in preparation for his enlistment in the Marine Corps.

Where is Mildred Sawyer's husband, why is she head of household in the city directory? UPDATE: For some reason, Mrs. Sawyer's husband. Joseph, is listed above the entry for his wife, Mildred Sawyer. FBI collected information from the late 1963 neighbor, Mrs. Martha Howorth, 126 Exchange Place, owner of the Society Page Bar, 119 Exchange Pl.,  describing Joseph Sawyer having died in mid 1962. Mrs. Howorth, "did not know where Mrs. Sawyer worked or what time she would be home."

Someone has to point out the absurdity of your forthcoming claims.
Which will include many misrepresentations and outright sophistry.
Travel to the EF, where you can join David Josephs and other "theorists" in a circle jerk of epic proportions.
Or, stay here, and we get free amusement.

Lee Harvey Oswald showed signs of violence and rebellion as a youth. He threatened his brother John and wife with a knife, was truant from school, and seemed a trouble youth. He idolized his brother Robert and wanted to join the Marines.

Marguerite said the incident was not a threat with a knife at all..... Lee had received a new pocket knife and he had it his hand admiring it as a boy will do, when her daughter in law started hassling Lee about some program that Lee was watching on TV, and in responding to Pic's wife he waved the knife around .....

Thanks, Mr. Scully.

Interestingly enough, there were two Mrs. M. Oswalds. Robert Oswald Sr.'s first wife was named , oddly enough, Margaret. He divorced her to marry Marguerite; however, the first Mrs. Oswald retained her married name for awhile after the divorce.
In reality, that's about the only "two Oswalds" you'll ever find.

Finally, the bottom right of the photo where it appears to say JUL is not part of the stamp that appears to say OCT 23, 1963 but part of the photo - which is also not similar to the stamps of the time

I'd suggest that you're not scrutinizing that card (N 4,271,617 ) .....If you get a magnifying glass and LOOK at the lower right of the photo you'll see UARTER written backwards.   That "stamp was made by using a US QUARTER dollar coin, an ink pad and a date stamp.

Oswald turned 16 years old in October, 1955. Jerry, I don't observe you presenting much of anything in this thread, since your OP. At first I anticipated you had an argument to make. You seem distracted, possibly because your OP is misleading. As I posted earlier, Oswald was precisely one year from military enlistment. For the most part, the images displayed in the OP do not reflect what Mildred Sawyer's earliest statements describe.

What does Richard Nagel have to do with Oswald's childhood?
When did Oswald ever have blonde hair?
There is a baby picture where it is colored I believe.
Found it...
(https://miro.medium.com/max/544/1*0IAd6ERVLAFWWpRIVv14Ag.jpeg)

Regarding the mentioned time period...
... in the spring of 1955 the Oswalds moved to a new apartment at 126 Exchange Place in the French Quarter.271 Although Lee gave the Exchange Place address on a school form at the end of the ninth grade,272 the school authorities had apparently not been advised of these moves earlier, because Mrs. Oswald did not want Lee to be transferred from Beauregard, which she considered a good school.273 During the summer of 1955, Robert left the Marine Corps and spent a week with his mother and Lee in New Orleans before moving to Fort Worth; he found Lee unchanged.274

That fall, Lee entered the 10th grade at Warren Easton High School.275 He had been there for about a month when he presented to the school authorities a note written by himself to which he had signed his mother's name. It was dated October 7, 1955, and read:

   
Quote
To whom it may concern,

    Becaus we are moving to San Diego in the middle of this month Lee must quit school now. Also, please send by him any papers such as his birth certificate that you may have. Thank you.   
Sincirely     Mrs. M. Oswald

Why would the school have Lee's birth certificate?
"Mrs M. Oswald"? ---Why sign his mother's name like that?
How would the principal [or whoever] accept that note and not suspect it was written by the student? "Sincirely"? "Becaus"?
But most puzzling of all....Why would this note still be in anyone's possession after nearly 8 years?

And guys...don't hijack the thread with unrelated stuff.

Jerry, I read somewhere, in the last day, prompted in the course of putting together my posts on this thread, that John Armstrong concluded that Robert Oswald was "in on it".... complicit in the "two Marguerites" "two Lees" "OP".

I hope you can understand I presented an example of the gulf between my analysis of Nagell vs David Josephs', not to confuse or distract, but to try to bring some perspective to our differences. I am constrained by the facts, John Armstrong, Jim Hargrove, David Josephs, and to some degree, judging from this thread, you also have liberated yourselves from such constraints.

You founded you OP not on Mrs. Sawyer's rather specific recollection of Lee's age, nearly eight years before the end of November, 1963, when she described Lee as a teenager of 14 or 15 years of age.... you know what you presented, instead.....

Someone has to point out the absurdity of your forthcoming claims.

David Josephs, replying at the deep politics link, above, said in essence, he would take the opposite approach I take.  He would ignore author Dick Russell's revised disclaimer and proceed as if the provenance of the I.D. card was proven and was foundational to the entirey of Richard Nagell's claims. David Josephs does not seem concerned about misleading readers of his forum.posts or other presentations. How about you, Jerry, in your opening post of this thread?

The FBI Lied, and Lied, and Lied...

This is just the tip of the iceberg.  For example, to see how the FBI fabricated the "evidence" for the rifle that allegedly killed JFK, see this link:
Oswald Did NOT Purchase a Rifle from Kleins - https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html
(https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-xbfr3w1/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/500/656/snake_oil__28966.1453580321.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on)


Okay! Let's see.....


Quote
https://harveyandlee.net/Guns/Guns.html
Oswald Did NOT Purchase a Rifle from Kleins
by John Armstrong
...All US Postal Money orders have unique serial numbers. In the fall of 1962, Oswald purchased numerous money orders from the same downtown post office and mailed them to Washington, DC in order to repay a loan from the government for his travel expenses incurred when he returned to the USA from Russia. These money orders were purchased in numerical sequence beginning in November, 1962. These serial numbers show that some 1200 money orders per week were purchased at the downtown post office in Dallas. At this rate we see that Oswald's alleged purchase of a money order on March 12, 1963 should have been numbered 2,202,011,935. But the serial number of the money order published in the Warren Volumes was more than 118,000 numbers higher. At the rate of 1200 money order per week, this money order should have been purchased in late 1964 or early 1965. In other words, this money order could easily have been pulled from a stack of fresh, unsold money orders by a postal official in Dallas, sometime after the assassination, and then given to the FBI. A close look at the details surrounding the "finding" of the money order the day after the assassination strongly suggests that this is what happened. ...

Jerry, if you make extraordinary claims and you do not present extraordinarily strong supporting evidence, would you agree you should take care to be accurate? The indifference to accuracy of Jim Hargrove indicates he exhibits cult-like tendencies.
Jerry, I discovered that Edwin Ekdahl and the Air Force Col. Lawrence Orlov aka Orloff, who suggested to George DeM that they take a ride to make introductions to the Oswald couple, are about the same age and grew up less than a mile apart, in Roxbury, MA. Shoild I just declare that they were both part of this "two Oswald" OP? I would love to do that, but I believe in treating readers the same way I want to be treated. Do not blow smoke up my ......

Jerry, I read somewhere, in the last day, prompted in the course of putting together my posts on this thread, that John Armstrong concluded that Robert Oswald was "in on it".... complicit in the "two Marguerites" "two Lees" "OP".

I hope you can understand I presented an example of the gulf between my analysis of Nagell vs David Josephs', not to confuse or distract, but to try to bring some perspective to our differences. I am constrained by the facts, John Armstrong, Jim Hargrove, David Josephs, and to some degree, judging from this thread, you also have liberated yourselves from such constraints.

You founded you OP not on Mrs. Sawyer's rather specific recollection of Lee's age, nearly eight years before the end of November, 1963, when she described Lee as a teenager of 14 or 15 years of age.... you know what you presented, instead.....

Nagell was the only survivor, after the bomber reportedly flew into the ground at a rather high rate of speed.

…..

John, presenting "the divide" in the most favorable light, IOW, attempting to give every forum participant the benefit of the doubt, it seems some hold themselves to a looser standard of proof not necessarily to mislead, but to provoke thought. David Joseph is replying to my posted observation that Dick Russell revised his convictions about Richard Nagell's claims, because:

David Josephs is replying to my analysis, don't go beyond Dick Russell's guidance.:

…...


David Josephs, replying at the deep politics link, above, said in essence, he would take the opposite approach I take.  He would ignore author Dick Russell's revised disclaimer and proceed as if the provenance of the I.D. card was proven and was foundational to the entirey of Richard Nagell's claims. David Josephs does not seem concerned about misleading readers of his forum.posts or other presentations. How about you, Jerry, in your opening post of this thread?

Even though my research debunked the following, more than four years ago, Jim Hargrove posted this, today.:

Okay! Let's see.....

I have made no claims in this thread whatsoever.
I have presented testimony directly from the Warren Report/HSCA as I strive to do with all my posts. I ask questions concerning such.
Defenders of the official story fail to even try and answer these questions ...Why?----- because they willingly remain ignorant and only respond in this forum with ridicule and insults.
I am not willing to discuss views on the other forums.

When did Oswald ever have blonde hair?
There is a baby picture where it is colored I believe.
Found it...

You aren't. This coloring method was very common.

The blue looks very rich in comparison to the surrounding colors.
