John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[David Josephs]

David,

You've obviously worked hard on this, and I'm trying to look at it with an open mind, but I simply can't get beyond Step 1.

None of the additional documents you have shown indicate days of attendance. Only the "Register of Attendance" does, and that shows 89 days of attendance for the fall term of '53-54. Despite the two different statements attributed to Mr. Head by the FBI, only his latter statement makes sense, since the other interpretation would indicate the school was violating state law the 54-55 school year.

If I was in charge of modifying documents to make a child disappear, I'd alter as little as possible--only what was needed--to avoid creating other problems with wholesale changes. And I certainly wouldn't invent a number that suddenly put an entire junior high school in violation of state law referenced in my own report. My bet is that the FBI simply didn't realize the conflict created by the 53-54 fall term attendance records in PS 44 and Beauregard. We are, after all, only left to analyze their mistakes.

You bring up some interesting inconsistencies, but they hardly prove this attendance record is wrong, at least in my opinion. Perhaps we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Jim - what you would do is really neither here nor there... we have records from which to deduce a story.... records offered as "evidence"

The FBI tells us there are 127 days of school from March 23, 1953 thru the end of the PS44 term and BEFORE the FALL TERM starting Sept 14, 1953.
THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE

Are you going to question how stupid it was to have FORGED such a poor document or do we take this as proof they were indeed FORGED and the info contained on them is WORTHLESS ??

Now to BJHS... YOU are holding on to one of two sentences an administrator offered as his understanding of the terms... when they are applied to a real school year - as we did with the PS44 records - we also find that the # of days, the GRADE CARDS show that the INFO IS WORTHLESS...

Listen to what you wrote Jim - "We are, after all, only left to analyze their mistakes."

Mistakes made while FORGING OSWALD'S SCHOOL RECORDS... creating a FALSE RECORD...

Do you see how holding on to "90" days in the FALL of 1953 has no meaning at all? What DOES have meaning is the fact that a TERM REPORT was written for the FALL TERM for both classes.
Since the FBI school records tell us LEE leaves around Jan 8, 1954 and starts BJHS on 1/13/54, those grades APPEAR to apply to the FALL term and are not possible given where LEE was until 1/13/54. end of story... until we can find that the SPRING TERM started and ended on a different day than we believe.

We have ZERO NADA NOTHING ZIP on the whereabouts of HARVEY from the time Louise Robertson the maid says they left NYC in the middle of the summer 1953... and AFTER Robert takes the Zoo photo... if this was indeed Summer 1953 during his furlough... until Myra DeRouse tells us HARVEY is in her homeroom class Jan/Feb 1954 and is NOT the kid in the BJHS photo missing a tooth.

Best I can do right now Jim... As JA and I have concluded, we can't KNOw anything from these documents other than they were CREATED/FORGED and that SOME OF THE SOURCE DATA has to be correct for one or the other student...
What that is almost doesn't matter -

ALL that matters is the repeated fact that the documents funneled thru the FBI related to the history of LEE is a combination of LEE and HARVEY with the HARVEY records gone to history.

AS JA asked me rhetorically - why does Hoover send AGENTS to retrieve the 10 year old school records of this man within the first 2 days after the assassination - as if that information, TAKEN IN THE ORIGINAL FORMS, would have any bearing on the evidence required to prove LHO killed Tippit or JFK....
