Then went outside to watch P. parade ( Parts 1 & 2 )

This one?

No. What is the source of this photo?

[Rick Plant]

Yes, there are two photos that Linda Z. linked to Pauline Sanders but I think they are wrong.

One photo claims it's from 1946, plus the photo is small and you can't get a good look at it.

PM does not (imo) appear to be
wearing glasses.  🙄

Maybe she was wearing contact lenses and a male-pattern-receding-hairline wig, which would totally make sense in a professional situation

Question for Mr Gilbride!

Is this is the frame of which you were sent a clearer copy from the Sixth Floor Museum?

Oswald had to have stepped down a few steps to get his right forearm upraised w/bottle captured in Altgens 6 photo z255.

The act of taking a drink at this point suggests that Oswald was unaware a rifle shot had  been fired at Z223 and that Oswald had no LOS to JFK . Otherwise,  the effect of JFK slumping over coincident with a loud noise should have been sufficient to cause Oswald and others at the front steps to show some signs of reaction more pronounced than casual activity.

Instead, the TSBD front step crowd
 seems to  have been about as unaware as  dodo birds to the fact shots were fired and the POTUS was hit, until Gloria Cavalry informed them.


This may explain the absence of any comments  by Oswald during his interrogations  of hearing/seeing shots fired, or seeing JFK hit,

Or it could be such comments were left out of the Fritz record (similar to Hosty) since description of such event might further substantiate Oswald’s presence on the front steps at the time of the shooting.

If PM was some random person who was taking some photos, then it’s unusual that no photo from this vantage point has been presented in the vast collection of photographic data in the archives.

It could something like “babushka lady” (allegeded to be Beverly Oliver) , and the camera and photos were confiscated.

However, no one has identified themselves as PM or claimed to have had a camera confiscated while taking photos from that position at the front steps of TSBD.

If the object was a camera , should not more of PMs face be obscured by the object if the camera is of the type with viewfinder in line with the lens? Such would require camera raised to obscure at least one eye.

And if the camera was of the type as Marina Oswald used for the BY photo requiring looking down into a viewfinder on the top then it would be unnecessary  to raise the camera at all from the mid level position.
