John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[John Mooney]

John,

Everyone seems to have an opinion about the photographs, but you also have to take into account what eyewitnesses said back in the day. You discount John Pic's estimate that step-father Ekdahl was over 6 feet tall, but whose opinion should we count more, John Pic's or yours? Pic got the other details of Ekdahl right on the money: glasses and hair color.

"Estimate". From memory when he was a youth.

I believe there is a tendency for young people to remember adults from their youth as taller. I'm thinking from personal experience. I often wonder a what point I realised my own mother is actually a hobbit.

By the same token, consider these two famous photos, taken roughly a year apart:

When shown the photo at left, John Pic said it did not appear to be his brother. Should we believe you, that these two are the same boys, or should we believe LEE Oswald's own half-brother, who said they didn't appear to be?

Jim

I'm sorry Jim I don't see enough in those photos to say they are not the same person - do you have any goofy pictures of yourself? You know people do have "odd" pictures of themselves - especially in the old analogue days before you could hit the delete button.

The left photo is LHO as shot by Ruby for sure and anyone can see that. Did John Pic say that guy (the dead by Ruby one) wasn't his brother?
