Edwin Ekdahl's height

Didn't Fetzer get banned from this forum for being a persistent idiot?

Trolling isn't allowed here. Speaking for myself, I found Mr. Jeffries' post most helpful.

That was the other thread Lauren, and yes... Don's post was Spot on...

Re: Fetzer... it appeared to most that it was a completely different person using/postin on the account... or that Fetz had lost his mind...
but at least he attempted to provide back-up to his argument, wrong as it was...

We will now be subject to multiple threads by this person... all leading nowhere with nothing but opinions and ad homs...

As if the is about the chlorophyll... and not the size of the forest and how under the surface the roots all interconnect...

My post had nothing to do with Don Jeffries.

Interesting replies people. I've had 2 moderator warnings for calling a comment (as opposed to a person) moronic.

Yet it seems to be Open Season on this little black duck. Any comment is a-ok with your friendly mods, so long as they are aimed at, and coming froml... me.

Where's Elmer Fudd when you need him?

But all these remarks do serve a purpose - they divert from the EVIDENCE I posted showing that the reliance on Pic's memory for Ekdahl's height was a bad call.

Given shrinkage with age, I'd say he was no more than about 5' 9 [SUP][SUB]1/2"[/SUB][/SUP] to 5' 10" in that wedding photo. And since it was her wedding photo, I'd say Marguerite was probably wearing heels - unlike later in life where her work as a practical nurse would mean flats. She of course, would also have shrunk by the time of those latter photos.

When it is looked at scientifically, instead of through the smoke and mirrors Armstrong deploys to sell his wares, there are NO discrepancies at all.

As I explained Greg, when you call a person's comment "moronic" you are, by extension, saying they are moronic.

This has to cease now please.

I'm PM'ing you.

I assume the question of Edwin A Ekdahl's height is an effort to compare the relative height of a person known as Marguerite Francis Claverie Pic Oswald Ekdahl. If so, I am curious as to any side by side comparison photographs being available showing "Lee's" mother and "Harvey's" mother. According to IMDb, Marguerite Francis Claverie/Pic/Oswald/Ekdahl died on January 17, 1981, in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.

Wish we had that picture, but it probably doesn't exist. Here, though, is a picture of short Marguerite looking up at short Marina.

For one, she is not looking "up" at Marina, unless she is cross-eyed, she is looking behind Marina. As I said before, people shrink with age. I am certain you already knew that. We also cannot see the whole person. Marguerite looks like she is stooped to me. There is also perspective to take into account. Without that perspective, you would have to judge the man in the white hat to be also rather short, since sans perspective, he looks only a few inches taller than Marguerite.

Please look at the pic of the other Marguerite and try to convince anyone this is the same person. The lack of resemblance is beyond stunning. You also have yet to reply to the question asked first by Jim Hargrove, then DJ then me (twice). Have you READ Harvey and Lee? It is a simple yes or no question.

No Dawn.. he has not...obviously. Nor the notebooks, nor the documents on the CD that comes with the book...

He makes arguments about tonsils and heights (the stems of leaves rather than the tree itself) and thinks we are going to applaud him for his insights and debating abilities like the 1 moderator and 3 members at his "forum"... (which doesn't even qualify as a minyan to sit shiva).

He offers carbon copy FBI reports referencing the wrong years and does so with pride.... and only opinions about people who MAY have done this or COULD have done that since he can't see it any other way... or offer any evidence to support them.

THIS is the type of person we want discussing the case here? A man who needs yet another to fend for him and plead that we accept his bona fides cause he's done something elsewhere that was equally as weak...?

I may be channeling Charles here ... and I do so gladly...

he needs to

[Jim Hargrove]

David and Dawn and several others are right on the mark that this nonsense should end now.

I feel guilty because I helped this situation occur by telling Parker to post his evidence right here rather than send us scurrying to some other place to see it. It never occurred to me that he would just make up so much crap and present it as fact. If anyone thinks that is an unfair statement, please just read through the tonsil thread, and If I have to be censored for calling Parker's crap what it is, so be it!!!

This is a huge waste of time. I hereby retract my invitation to Parker to post his stuff here, urge him to go away, and apologize to all for my role in making this nonsense happen.

Hmm. A moderator here has asked EVERYONE to discuss the evidence and not play the man. I assume then, that you all the others have had warning messages?

Ohhh.... I can see a flying pig !!!

What "crap" have I made up, Jim? I have posted documentary evidence that as a young man, Ekdahl was between 5'10" and 5'11". Dd you mean I made up that people shrink with age? If so, it is you who needs to stop living in fantasy land. It is a scientific fact. http://www.uamshealth.com/?id=12264&sid=1

Marguerite was NEVER tall and it is you, Armstrong and his supporters who have latched onto Pic's faulty memory and misinterpretion of photos to prop this nonsense up.

I know this is heresy. I know giving you the facts means I am in danger of being moderated, but someone has to do it.

It does appear that Russian born Marina Nikolayevna Prusakova/Oswald/Porter is not a tall person. But, I do wonder, as I wander, how "not tall" is she? By observing various photographs with others nearby, I would have to guess her height to be about 5' 4", +/- 1".
