Those Front Steps

[Thomas Graves]

At least some form of intelligence was recorded.

Allegedly.

But that was back in '66.

Wanna have a push-up contest?

He said she came running up to the steps and they had an exchange---------

Up to the steps, not “climbed the steps”. And Shelley talked to her on the concrete island.

Ta.

What Graves’ calls “research” is squinting at blurry images and declaring who people are.

[John Iacoletti]

She may simply be misremembering

No doubt in her mind.

The only reason we even know this is Gloria Calvery is because Karen Westbrook donated photos to the 6FM and identified Gloria Calvery in them.



Ponder that.

Yes, well, I suppose there IS a difference between recognizing a colleague from the front versus from behind, and at a significant distance from an elevated camera, and some fifty years after the fact, at that.

No wonder Westbrook got it all screwed up.

But I shouldn't be too harsh on her, I suppose.

After all, she was wearing a (light blue?) headscarf during the motorcade (just like her three colleagues!), and the gal standing to the left of blue-headscarf-wearing Sharon Simmons by the Stemmons sign (Gloria Holt) did have strawberry-blond hair that shone kinda reddish in the light of that late November sun and/or just came out looking that way (but not nearly as red as Calvery's hair) in Zapruder's "color-saturated" film.

So there ARE those mitigating factors, aren't there.

Up to the steps, not “climbed the steps”.

We see this woman standing on the bottom step in Darnell, face to face with the man. We don't see her climbing the steps. And even if we did, where would the problem be?

And Shelley talked to her on the concrete island.

Indeed! If that is Ms Calvery in Darnell, then her encounter with Mr Shelley has already happened.
The question that interests me is---------------why did Mr Shelley change his story?

 

[Alan Ford]

No doubt in her mind.

Maybe her memory is not infallible!

The only reason we even know this is Gloria Calvery is because Karen Westbrook donated photos to the 6FM and identified Gloria Calvery in them.



Ponder that.

How does her ability to retain photographs and/or her generosity vouch for the reliability of her memory?

In any case, researchers already knew from other photographs what Ms Calvery looked like before they got eyes on Ms Westbrook's kind donation.
