Thomas,
Would you kindly please explain why you replace Dishong.classic for this newer version? For so long she was noted on Roberdeau's map as being next to Karan Westbrook, but we know that is not right. Dishong's same day journal entry indicates she wore a jacket to the parade, and then latter removed it. The Cabluck photo shows that jacket hanging from her left arm. Your Dishong.new is wearing a long coat. Here is Don's announcement on alt.conspiracy.jfk some 15 years ago.

James,
Thanks for asking.
IIRC, I did some googling about a year ago and found on a genealogy website (or a people-finder website or some-such thing) an "Inez Juanita Hart Dishong, born about 1909" who was living in, or had lived in, Irving, Texas (she died in 1998 and would have been around 53 years old at the time of the assassination). You can probably find a link to that source and/or the info contained therein in a post I made at the time at the EF.
Anyway, I intuited that "Inez" and "Juanita" were probably Hispanic names, and based on that, I intuited that she was probably fairly short in stature, both of which "My Dishong" appears to be in Altgens-6. I also intuited that "June" was her more Anglo-sounding nickname. ("Dishong" itself is an old English name.)
Another thing that "factored in" was that, after I'd convinced myself and a few others at the EF that the traditional (dark-complected) "Gloria Calvary" (sic) in Robin Unger's Z-frame and in Don Roberdeau's map must have been self-described American Indian Stella Mae Jacob, instead, Sandy Larsen and I started wondering where the real Gloria Calvery was in the Z-film, and tentatively concluded that the group of four Southwestern Publishing Company colleagues who claimed in their FBI statements to have watched the motorcade together on Elm Street -- Calvery, Hicks, Reed, and Westbrook --
probably comprised the group of four headscarf-wearing women in Zapruder, and since that seemed to be the case, especially after our spoting in Couch-Darnell a
black-blouse and black-headscarf-wearing woman at the TSBD steps about 25 seconds after the final shot, who was
in very close proximity to a woman on the steps wearing a white dress and a white headscarf, led me to ... gasp ... speculate that "June" Dishong, who worked at a garment factory a few blocks away and who, according to Westbrook's FBI statement, apparently watched the motorcade with said Southwestern Publishing group, may have decided to "follow suit" and wear her headscarf, too.
Two more things that"factored in":
1) When you look closely at Betzner-3, Willis-5,
and Zapruder, there seems to be another,
probably much shorter, woman in that headscarf-wearing group, someone who is so short as to be hard to spot in the photos and the film,
... and ...
2) Using hardhat A. J. Millican and blond journalist Mary Woodward in Altgens-6 and in Zapruder as "landmarks," it's easy to see that the far left edge of un-cropped Altgens-6 (where My Dishong is standing after having waved at JFK about three seconds earlier) seems to
end right where the line of four headscarf-wearing women I've been talking about, above,
begins in Zapruder.
As you can see, there's a terrible, terrible, terrible amount of highly verboten
intuiting and speculating (detective-like thinking?) on my part, but IMHO, the woman at the far left of un-cropped Altgens-6 looks to me as though she could be a 53 year-old Hispanic (or half-Hispanic) woman, and she's in exactly the right place to have watched the motorcade with the just "off stage left" four-member Southwest Publishing group that's so easy to see in Zapruder, and she is ... gasp ... wearing a headscarf, just like the other members of that apparently "group cohesiveness"-conscious (or unconscious -- LOL) group.
LOL
Edit: Since Inez Juanita Hart (Dishong) was born in Minnesota about 1909, I'm now starting to think that she might have been Native American in ancestry ...
Edit #2: Here's a photo I just now found of her and her husband's gravestone in the Oak Grove Memorial Cemetery in Irving, Dallas County, Texas:
