Charles,
Thank you for the nice words, they are greatly appreciated.
Tony Poshepny is a most interesting character. He mixed with a curious collection of folk including Bill Lair, Ted Shackley, Lucien Conein, Ed Lansdale and several agency ghouls known for some heavy handed activity.
I do not have any real conviction of Poshepny being in Dealey Plaza but offered up the comparison because he does bear a similarity to LPM.
The whole look-a-likes thing can have one running around in circles, which I can testify to personally especially when we have Fletcher Prouty and Gen. Krulak saying Lansdale was there (Tramps photograph) and then we have a man at the corner of Main and Houston who seriously resembles Conein. What are the odds of that? Tantalizing indeed.
Ultimately, I decided that the look-a-likes thing it was pretty much a waste of time given that it can never be proved that these individuals were there. If the photographic evidence is all we have then sadly we have nothing.
I think it is more productive to chase other more tangible angles.
As a curiosity, Lansdale and Conein below.
Cheers,
James
