Hello All
It has been quite some time since I posted on this very interesting thread. I have read Harvey and Lee three times. It is a book that deserves multiple readings. I have a few questions, about which, knowledgeable contributors may respond in order to clear some confusion, on my part.
First: According to the Harvey and Lee timeline provided back at post #107, Harvey starts Marine boot camp at San Diego on 12/17/56, then Harvey starts Marine ITR at Camp Pendleton in Feb. 1957, then Harvey leaves Marine Corp active duty on 8/22/57, then Harvey starts work at Pfisterer's Dental Lab in New Orleans, lives at Hotel Senator 11/20/57. Is leaving active Marine Corp duty an unusual move? It certainly permitted Harvey to return to civilian type employment. Perhaps this was all part of the way he was being "handled".
Second: Robert Oswald's mother is the taller attractive Marquerite. Am I correct on that? And Harvey is not Robert's real brother? Right? If so, then Robert Oswald puts on quite a show, such as mourning at the grave site of Harvey during the committal service. John Pic was able to recognize Harvey as not being his half brother. Did Robert confuse Harvey with Lee? Certainly he could not confuse his real mother with the short rotund Marguerite? Or was Robert compromised? Just a thought.
Third: Was the short dumpy Marguerite the actual mother of Harvey?
