Familiar Faces in Dealey Plaza

[Allan Eaglesham]

When I first looked at Allan Eaglesham's page on "Lucien Conein look-alike was not Conein," my first impression was, "Yes, Allan's right, it's Adams, not Conein." First impressions are usually right. Each man had a reason to be at Dealey Plaza so that's a wash, and the framed newspaper pic on the Adams' family wall of a family member's presence at an historic event is an entirely understandable point of pride (not a "plaque," so stipulated). Looking around for additional photos of Conein, a 1981 video convinces me it wasn't Conein in the Altgen photo, if only because Conein never did develop that extreme "peninsula" prow of hair Adams had, with such a receding hair line on either side. So now will advocates of Conein in the Altgen photo argue Men's Hair Club changed Conein's forehead appearance (!?).

Morgan:
Thank you for your comments and for posting the link to the interview with Conein, which I look forward to viewing. You are right that Adams's widow's peak was more pronounced than that of Conein, but hair length is a complicating factor. In the interview, Conein does not seem to have a widow's peak, but then he was significantly older and, possibly had lost some hair by then. If Conein did not have a widow's peak there would have been no basis for making the comparison in the first place.

Anyway, this is moot, since the man in Altgens's photo is so clearly Robert Adams.

Thanks again.
