JFK Assassination Forum

Let's slow it up a little. YOU have no idea if they are looking, "towards the sniper's nest window....". That is your Opinion. It is Not Fact. And the waving of a hanky is a valid consideration here. Funny how the hanky has Not been mentioned during this discussion.

The point is that they are both looking well behind the JFK limo towards the sniper’s nest window and pointing up high towards the sixth floor. And there is a large gap between the queen Mary and LBJ’s vehicle. So who the puck do you suppose they are waving at?

Tom, I totally agree with you. They are a scourge on serious research in this case and have overtaken the JFK Education Forum, which is a true embarrassment compared to what it once was.

And no, no serious researcher believes that there's any discrepancy between Altgens-6 and the Zapruder film, because there isn't.

Woodward was referring to Oswald's second shot at Z-222, the one where CE-399 wounded both JFK and JBC. You can see JFK starting to lift his arm to wave to Woodward and her colleagues in Z-173 (in which Woodward is standing between journalist Aurelia Alonzo to her left and Ann Donaldson to her right in the blurry edge of the frame. Another colleague, Maggie Brown, is dressed in black and standing in the clear part of the frame to Donaldson's right.

Woodward told Stephen Fagin in a videotaped interview at the Sixth Floor Museum that she heard three shots altogether, and that the first one, which she thought had missed everything, sounded like a backfire.

It's obvious to me that the "shattering noise" she spoke about wasn't Oswald's first, missing-everything, shot at "Z-124," but his second shot at Z-222.

   I believe one of these ladies was waving a hanky around. Let's keep that in mind with respect to a raised arm and people/Willis standing between these women and the JFK Limo. Raised arm(s) amidst a passing parade is not uncommon and certainly Not automatically connected to a sniper's nest.
