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

[Walt Cakebread]

She says she didn't learn his name until after being shown his picture. Who showed her his picture?

Mrs. REIIL No; very seldom unless they are sent up there to get something.
I mean they just don’t come in there and wander around. It is some business
for them.
Now, I did see him in the lunchroom a few times prior to this eating his lunch
but I didn’t even know his name.
Mr. BELIN. Did you know his name on the day you saw him?
Mrs. REILL No; I did not. When I saw his picture I still didn’t know his
name until they told us who it was.
Mr. BELIN. How did you know the person you saw was Lee Harvey Oswald
on the second floor?
Mrs. REID. Because it looked just like him.
Mr. BJCLIN. You mean the picture with the name Dee Harvey Oswald?
Mrs. REID. Oh, yes.
Mr. BELIN. But you had seen him in the building?
Mrs. Rum. Other than that day, sure.
Mr. BELIN. Do you remember what clothes he had on when you saw him?
Mrs. Rw. What he was wearing, he had on a white T-shirt and some kind

This testimony is rubbish.....  Mrs Reid's coworkers or Roy Truly would have described lee to her when Truly was looking for Lee.

She wouldn't have needed to see a picture to know .....

You're just making that up, Mr Cakebread.

Fact is, Mrs Reid's own testimony rules out her having told her co-workers in the office so soon after the assassination about having seen 'Oswald'.

No "her" testimony does not rule out that she told her co-workers that the "killer" had walked right by her just minutes after the murder......

I'd like to endorse your idea, but the truth is we don't know WHEN Mrs Reid first became familiar with Lee Oswald, ( learned his name) Lee had been employed at he TSBD for over a month, and  Mrs Reid said that Lee had came to her desk to get change for the Coke machine...  It would be unusual if she hadn't enquired about the man who was coming to her desk and asking for change.

The bottom line....I don't think we can hang our hat on Mrs Reid's Warren Commission testimony.   

Let's see what she said in her affidavit..... 

[Zeon Mason]

It was the DPD affidavit on Nov 23/63 that is the “early “ statement by Reid. This one has no detail of what hand the coke was in or if it was full or not.

It’s the FBI report dated Nov 26/63 that has added that the coke was in the right hand and the coke was “full”

Mr.Ford  can paste those 2 documents If possible.

Why the addition of  specifying the right hand held the coke and it was full?

What’s all the excitement about? Is not a question that Oswald would have asked Mrs Reid If Oswald is PM, as PM remains outside for the duration of all 3 shots fired as per Couch/Darnell films with Baker running to TSBD and PM still visible at front entrance ( with white blob object still in hand)

So IDK what to make of some office woman recently in video referring to remembering  50 years later that Mrs Reid said as much.

it’s strange imo that Geneva Hine DOES know Oswald by name yet Mrs Reid the Supervisor of this floor office does Not?

[Dan O'meara]

You're just making that up, Mr Cakebread.

Fact is, Mrs Reid's own testimony rules out her having told her co-workers in the office so soon after the assassination about having seen 'Oswald'.

That Reid was telling her co-workers about her encounter with Oswald is confirmed by Karen Westbrook Scranton in her Oral History interview.
She doesn't need to know his name - "I saw that scrawny loser...etc."
But why is she talking about such an innocuous event. The president has been shot and she's talking about passing some creep holding a coke. Why?

Where does Mrs Reid say he came to her desk for change?

Correct! 

Had Mrs Reid been telling everyone about having seen "Oswald" just after the shooting, she would not have been treated like just another office worker and let home 2pm-2:30pm. The fact that this supposedly key witness isn't brought down to City Hall to give an affidavit until the next day speaks for itself.
