TSBD Doorway man - Oswald or Lovelady?

[Greg Burnham]

Hopefully I am not "piling on" here, but the questions in post #89 are very important, as are the answers in post #90 in an effort to establish certain facts during, before, and shortly after the time of the Altgens 6 photograph. My opinion is based on reading a few books over the years, watching "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" television series and various other shows, studying a few internet sites, and especially monitoring the Deep Politics Forum. Just my opinion, but I do appreciate the thoughtful posting by Ms Edisen and Mr Burnham.
Regarding "studying a few internet sites", and of course DPF, I have to wonder if maybe, just maybe a few things might have been "arranged" differently in 1963 had the "computer age" been anticipated fully. For a lot of us, in '63 and later years, a computer was nothing more than a calculator. Certainly for me, after the books and TV, my understanding of the events of the JFK assassination went up several levels after gaining access to the World Wide Web. Thankfully, a family member understands these machines.

Thank you for your kind words which are much appreciated. Even though some may disagree with some factual statements, at least more progress can be made toward learning the truth by discussing the factual basis of hyotheses than by ad hominem arguments and attacks (which are unrelated to the topic at hand).

Thanks, LR.

Just as another point of reference:

The Z-film was running at approximately 18.3 frames per second (give or take). Z-255 (timestamp for Altgens 6) is exactly 58 frames before the headshot at Z-313. Do the math: 58 frames divided by 18.3 frames per second = slightly over 3 seconds. According to Marion Baker, he and Roy Truly encountered Oswald in the lunchroom on the second floor approximately 90 seconds after the last shot was fired. So, if Z-255 (and Altgens 6) occurred 3.17 seconds before the headshot @Z-313 and the encounter with LHO and Baker occurred 90 seconds later, then Oswald was seen in the lunchroom at about 93.17 seconds after Altgens 6 was snapped. *

It is infinitely more plausible that Oswald could "make it in time" from the front steps of the TSBD to the lunchroom than it is to imagine him making it there from the 6th floor, where the 6th floor is out of range from the front steps within 90 seconds. However, except for the ability to "make it in time" it is equally implausible that he would re-enter the building. There would be absolutely no reason for him to re-enter the building at this point. Indeed, his subsequent actions--as far as we know them--are consistent with someone deciding that there would be no reason to remain at work that day.

If we believe that he was eating his lunch in the lunchroom at the time the shots were fired and when he was finished eating he decided to buy a coke--the encounter with Baker is consistent with the evidence. His departure from the building and his taking public transportation to his place of residence is also consistent.

But, if he was out front on the steps...it all falls apart. He'd just witnessed the president's murder and figured, "I guess I'll have a Coke before I go home..."???
