John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[Peter Lemkin]

I'm assuming that any Eastern European refugee families allowed to come to the US after WWII would have been checked out by the intelligence agencies, files put together on all family members (including the children), with periodic monitoring of their activities in the US. On the flip side, the real American Oswald family from New Orleans is involved with the US military, so that brings them into the same orbit.

True, you don't know how the children are going to turn out, but they only have to be roughly similar in appearance. By early adolescence (the New York period for Oswald), you can get a rough idea of how they will look as adults.

There could well have been several [to many] such pairings...and one only uses those that 'work out' as being still fairly close look alikes at a later date. Everyone is making the assumption that if this was done, it was ONLY done this once. I think if it was done, it was done with many pairs and we are seeing [for obvious reasons] a 'successful' pair that was then used operationally. The others were only used for creating paper doubles or were NOT used and let 'go'.....
