JFK Assassination Forum

Mary Woodward went from Dealey Plaza to her office and immediately wrote the story that appeared in the Dallas Morning News the next day.
 
She said, "The President was looking straight ahead and we were afraid we were afraid we would not get to see his face. But we started clapping and cheering and both he and Mrs. Kennedy turned, and smiled and waved, directly at us, it seemed. Jackie was wearing a beautiful pink suit with beret to match. Two of us, who had seen the President last during the final weeks of the 1960 campaign remarked how relaxed and robust he looked. As it turned out, we were almost certainly the last faces he noticed in the crowd. After acknowledging our cheers, he faced forward again and suddenly there was a horrible, ear-shattering noise coming from behind us and a little to the right."

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 journalism 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.

In the animated GIF, the direction that her arm and head are pointed stays the same for well over 2-seconds plus however much time she might have been doing this before Z133. Meanwhile the motorcade is moving right along. Near the end of the animated GIF she drops her right arm and turns her head to her left over 90-degrees to apparently see the presidential limousine. Meanwhile her companion continues to apparently point in that same original direction. If they were waving at anyone in the motorcade, I cannot believe that it was JFK or anyone in his limo or the queen mary.

   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.

IMHO, the sickest tinfoil-hat JFKA CTs are the photo and film alterationists.

Does anyone here agree with Royell Storing that the Altgens-6 photo and the Zapruder film don't jibe?

   Looking at Willis 4, the lady with the, "right arm raised up high", could be waving at the JFK Limo. She has Willis in front of her and could be waving above his head in order to possibly catch the eye of Jackie/JFK, etc.
   The TSBD has a very large footprint. The front of that building extends well down the Elm St Ext. A person can be looking at the end of the TSBD attached to the Huge Gates, and their view would be a great distance from the Sniper's Nest. Glancing in the direction of the front of the TSBD does Not automatically include seeing the sniper's nest.

Oliver Stone's role is to merely keep everyone going in circles.

   Your description of Oliver Stone would also fit Director Alfred Hitchcock.
