David Mantik's Definitive look at the Harper Fragment

[Drew Phipps]

this part is wrong - {The Harper Fragment was discovered at 11/22/63 5:30 PM CST. (5 hours after the assassination, from HSCA.) It was discovered after AF1 took off from Dallas (2:38 PM) but prior to the beginning of the official autopsy. There is simply no way for the Harper Fragment to get to Washington DC and back in the time allotted.}

Hmm. Second source says date 11/23/63. I'll have to double check.

Bill Harper himself says it was the day after the assassination. on you tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmFdfvDT6GQ . Interesting fact here, Harper is apparently being walked thru his discovery of the fragment in this video, he is standing on the wrong side (east) of the "north pergola." He points to a location in the grass that is truly no where near the location he specified for Robardeau's map, or even the Cranor map above, which are to the west end of the north pergola.

I just noticed something, don't know if its significant. The street lamps on the north Elm Street have been moved away from the street into the grass. In the pix from the SS reconstruction, Wests' plat, and other early black and whites, the street lamps are positioned in the sidewalk quite close to the road. Now the lamps are in the grass, past the sidewalk, away from the street. Wonder when that happened?
