TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady?

[Greg Burnham]

Sorry to intrude, but I have a few questions and some thoughts.

1. Around what time relative to the volley of shots fired was the Altgens 6 photo taken? Could we at least guess by judging from the position of the car carrying Secret Service agents? Was it after or before the last shot was heard?

It was approximately Z-frame 255. JFK was reacting to the frontal throat shot. His left wrist, as seen through the windshield, is up to his throat with Jackie's gloved-hand gripping his forearm.

2. Don't we already know where Oswald was located by the police officer who hurried into the SBDB and saw him getting or drinking a soft drink from the drink machine on the second floor some 90 seconds after the last shot? And apparently after eating his lunch on the first floor.

Correct.

3. If that was Oswald at the doorway and if it was after the last shot, or almost so, would he have run upstairs to get a soft drink after standing at the doorway, and then be seen by the police officer there in time?

Very unlikely.

4. According to John Armstrong, the second Oswald had left the SBDB from the back side (as I recall, but check this out)?

5. Roger Craig saw the Oswald figure run from the front of the SBDB to the station wagon on Elm Street much later after the shooting events, with traffic flowing on Elm Street that blocked Craig's passage toward the station wagon picking up the Oswald figure, possibly Oswald #2?

6. Could the timing be reconciled, or not, with frames from the Zapruder film?

Some things can be coordinated with the Z-film (Z-255 equals ALTGENS 6 for example), however that is a slippery slope. Because of the dubious nature of the Z-film--the film that both the Warren Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations used to SUBSTANTIATE THE TIME SIGNATURE, among other things, in support of the single bullet/lone gunman theory--it is mostly unreliable for the purpose to which you want to put it.
