It's also a shame that the names of the alert Postal Office employees that contributed so much to the overall swift initiation of the case against Oswald have never (AFAIK) been mentioned. According to DJ's timeline and article, you have one employee that recognized Oswald's name immediately and began digging out his postal records a matter of minutes after he is arrested, and another one that helps the intrepid Inspector Holmes determine the correct amount of the mystery money order.
Given the fact that many of the names of bit players in the investigation are now familiar words, I find this anomalous. You'd think that some enterprising Dallas reporter at least might determine who they were and do a feature on them, or that the WC might have uncovered their identities. Were the 60's (and Inspector Holmes) really misogynistic/paternalistic enough to not bother to find out who they were?
Or perhaps Holmes' "team" was a figment of his imagination.
