Zapruder's "stick-man" was using a walkie-talkie!

Maybe this guy was on the abort team.

Has anyone ever suggested that Zapruder's "stick-man" was using a walkie-talkie?
These gif images below from the Mark Bell film in The Lost Bullet seem to indicate that this just might be the case....




ZAPRUDER'S STICKMAN

  That is a teen aged kid, and all I see is a cupped left hand about ear level. Where is a walkie-talkie?  How do you know he is on a walkie talkie?  The blow up is severely blurred.  You cannot draw conclusions from this blurry clip.

Can somebody remind me of this person name? I cannot recall her name and will show you her connection to "stick-man".
Thanks.

There are two different names for this woman. In the 70's, J. Gary Shaw and Larry Ray Harris interviewed a woman who claimed to be her, and she worked at the Terminal Annex building.  LArry Harris worked there himself in the 70's, and that was how he located here.  Her name was Francine Burrows. 

 Another woman, Toni Foster came forward and she is the person hose name you are seeking.

This is from the Sixth Floor Museum copy of Zapruder....

    On a Hi Def screen this Bell Film footage via "The Lost Bullet" is clearer. The guy definitely was holding/griping something in his (L) hand as he sprinted across that S. Knoll grass toward Houston St.

 Clearly, he has something in his left hand, which I would bet is a camera, but I see nothing but his hand against the dark jacket he is wearing in the right hand.  It is impossible to determine any object in his right hand.

Thank you Steve.
I think the person referred here as "stick-man" was Toni Foster husband.
In her year 2000 interview she is stating:
"Just like everyone else, we knew President Kennedy was
coming so we were trying to hurry and get downtown to see him.
We were listening to the radio to follow what areas he was in; so
we were hurrying... Then he (her husband) wanted to go down near the underpass."
" I remember, for myself, I was looking for my husband. I
knew he was in the line of fire from where he was and I was trying
to find him."
Here are Toni and her husband in Bronson film:

Here are they in Hughes:

And Hughes again:


So what is referred here as walkie-talkie most probably was a radio.

Another thing that caught my attention in Toni Foster interview is the following:
"And I remember everything stopped for me. I remember
[his head] looked like confetti, it was just blown off. It hit him
back here [puts her hand on the right rear of her head] and it was
just like confetti. The spray went behind him."
Will have to consider posting my confetti cannon theory again. Or maybe not?

I've read Toni's full testimony and there is no mention of having a portable radio at all (she says they arrived and parked - they were listening to the car radio)... So, her husband remains a person of suspect in my opinion.
Is Toni's testimony credible and believable?
If so, consider this very interesting part of her testimony from the same interview:

I know the Governor and Mrs. Connally were there but I wasn?t even thinking of them. I don?t mean that in an inconsiderate way but it?s just what I saw. They were protecting themselves too. For some reason the car stopped. It did stop for seconds. I don?t ever know why it stopped and all of a sudden it sped up and they went under the underpass.
I could never figure out why the car stopped. [Mrs. Kennedy] started crawling out the back of the car crying and screaming (whatever it was she was screaming, I can?t remember).
