John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[David Josephs]

Jim -

how does a FORGED DOCUMENT with FAKE INFO violate Louisiana law?

This document seemed important to you when you thought the "Re Ad" column meant total school days. Now that you recognize it means total days attended by Oswald it is no longer important? I don't understand.

How do you reconcile 5 absences on most 54-55 grade cards yet 12 on the cumulative based on what?? (I see only that 168 + 12 = 180 ON A FORGERY that does not match the source info if THEY are not FOGERIES - if they are then someone at the FBI messed up real good)

I'm not trying to reconcile anything; but if you want me to hazard a guess, I'd say the safest way to run a cover-up would be to modify only what what was necessary to maintain the ruse; in this case, that there were overlapping LHO attendance records indicating two separate kids. It took a long time for both of us to understand that there simply were not enough days in any fall term scenario to account for this conflict. The FBI probably missed it too--which probably explains why the anomaly remained in the record. All we have to go on are the things the FBI and WC neglected to hide; in other words, their mistakes.

Please tell us the number of days in the 54-55 school year in NOLA at BJHS... for OSWALD to have attended 89 out of 90 days IN THE FALL he would have to start Sept 1st and end January 12 - is that when BJHS classes started?

Do NEW TERMS usually begin on a WED 1/13/54 - did it in THIS case?

I have no idea, but I'd like to know as well. I found online school calendars at the NYC Board of Education website that went back to the mid-1970s, but not even that far back in New Orleans. But regardless of the school year calendars, the fact that the WC published records indicating that a Lee Harvey Oswald attended at least some classes for the full or nearly full 1953-54 fall term at both PS 44 in NYC and Beauregard JHS in New Orleans is undeniable, although we can argue the legitimacy of these records forever.

Jim

And that was my only point Jim... based on the availble FORGED RECORDS, he attended SOME of the FALL semester - MAYBE... If the SPRING TERM did not start until Feb 15 for example, it would give LEE the chance to take a few classes, get one TERM REPORT as is reflected on the grade cards (also FORGED?) and still not interfere with Myra seeing a HARVEY in the SPRING. Doesn't change the H&L conclusion yet does give THIS SET OF DOCS an alternative meaning and conclusion that does not need HARVEY at BJHS in the FALL 1953.... but it does seem that HARVEY went from NYC in the summer (after the Robert Zoo photo) to North Dakota and then to Ft. Worth (one of two houses by Stripling both since torn down)

In term of your first admonishment... "Re-Ad" is always important and it's not what I THOUGHT Jim, but the conflicting story HEAD tells us. Read true first half of his statement, not just the H&L quoted part:

"Re ad" regularly represented "Re Admitted" and added that his oterpretation of the numbers set forth opposite this abbreviation would represent a total listing of the school days for given school year.

The FBI goes on to say that HEAD says the complete opposite... that these numbers now reflect the number of days Oswald attended... So which to believe?

Finally, please do not tell me you aren't trying to reconclie anything...we are ALL trying to reconcile the evidence related the H&L... Some of it obvious, some not.

I added this statement to my last post to you - Just because I may find something lacking in a single piece of the PUZZLE, does not mean I can no longer see what the puzzle picture is... H&L is proven in hundreds of ways...

That a few items in this proof may not be as strong or conclusive as first offered is not a condemnation of the conclusion... I simply perfer to seperate SOLID evidence from conjuecture.... and HARVEY attending BJHS in the FALL 1953 has not yet been proven to my standard... In fact there is evidence that Ft. Worth could have been a stop before NOLA... for how long, we do not know
