John Armstrong's Harvey and Lee

[Bruce Baird]

I wrote John Armstrong to ask about the 54-55 yearbook photo and why he thinks that is HARVEY... Will let you know ASAP.

John A says he believes it is HARVEY even though the yearbook suggests it is LEE - but that the photo has alwyas been of concern to him...

The people who printed the yearbook told him that :
IF A STUDENT WAS SICK, ABSENT, ETC. ON THE DAY PHOTOS WERE TAKEN THEY WOULD USE THE PHOTO FROM EITHER
THE PREVIOUS YEAR OR RE-TAKE THE PHOTO AT THEIR STUDIO

yet there is a list of those without photos in the yearbook.... (please rememebr that we are looking at a single record comprised of two student's history - FAKED AND FORGED documents designed to tell a story.
And they simply do nothing but give themselves away.)

This is the best news yet in this thread. Instead of perhaps agreeing to disagree, I am glad that JA and I can agree to agree that the 1955 Beauregard Junior High School Yearbook photo (pictured 2nd from the left in the bottom row below) identified as "Lee Oswald" is NOT a picture of the boy Lee Harvey Oswald born in New Orleans and raised in Fort Worth. Indeed, I believe there is no better proof of some kind of early and deliberate conspiracy to create two Lee Harvey Oswalds than this yearbook picture. I would be quite willing to stand with JA and take on all challengers to would like to reject out of hand the idea of two Oswalds.



And I would like to once again emphasize that this yearbook photo is not some obscure photo left to be discovered in the Paines' garage. This was THE photo of LHO that the people of New Orleans saw on the front pages of their two leading newspapers, the Times Picayune and the States-Item the weekend of the assassination. As I have noted in a previous post, the photo was published above the caption "9TH GRADER LEE OSWALD At Beauregard School." on the front page of the New Orleans States-Item (the afternoon paper) in the Final Edition, Saturday, November 23, 1963 .

THe next morning (November 24, 1963) the photo was published on the front page of the big Sunday edition of The Times-Picayune above the caption "LEE HARVEY OSWALD From school yearbook here." accompanying an article by Paul Atkinson titled "School Doesn't Recall Oswald: Principal, Students Can't Remember Him".

It would seem then that with this consensus on the 1955 yearbook picture it would be a matter of sorting through the rest of the confusing evidence related to these two Oswalds to reach an understanding of how this "Oswald project" worked.

With that I think I will stand by on responding to David Josephs good posts to await John Armstrong's explanation of how this photo of HARVEY could have found its way into that 1955 Beauregard yearbook, seeing as JA completely rejects Harvey's presence in New Orleans in the fall of 1954. I await John's response which I think will be an excellent point to pick up this thread again.
