Dawn and everyone,
I apologize to one and all for being absent for so long a time. I have been suffering from a slipped disc which caused a great deal of pain down my entire left leg (sciatica). Trips to an ambulatory surgical clinic on an outpatient basis for epidural steroid injections for treatment of this condition have taken up much of my time and energy. I am finally able to walk with relatively little pain, but am not well enough to get back to work just yet. I am hoping to start catching up there as well as here on the Forum.
I certainly appreciated your entry on the Rambler station wagon which was observed as a getaway vehicle. There is so much information in your posts, which deserve a thread of their own. However, the Rambler station wagon does not quite meet the description I have of the vehicle on the Grassy Knoll.
That vehicle was a large station wagon. The Rambler was a relatively smaller vehicle. The vehicle on the Grassy Knoll in the Nix film (from an enlarged still photograph taken from the Nix film) had letters painted on it, "Honest Joe's Pawn Shop". Honest Joe was Rubin Goldstein, a very good friend of Jack Ruby's. His vehicle was an Edsel, a big car, much more like my own 1969 Wide-Track Pontiac station wagon (with 290 horses that could pass anything on the road except the gas station!).
It was this Edsel station wagon which Forrest Sorrels (Agent-in-Charge of the Dallas US Secret Service) must have noticed as he rode past the Grassy Knoll in the lead car ahead of the Presidential limousine on November 22, because after the assassination, on Sunday, November 24, he noticed it parked on Commerce Street. He also visited Honest Joe's Pawn Shop and spoke with Rubin Goldstein. I also understand that he purchased a Mannlicher-Carcano there. It seems that he was doing some investigating on his own, even though the Secret Service had been ordered to defer to the FBI to do such work.
More later. HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY! Let's hope that 2009 is better than 2008.
