Still a bit of a conundrum!

Honorable Lee J Rankin
General Counsel
The President's Commission
200 Maryland Avenue, Northeast
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Rankin:
Reference is xxxx to your letter dated March 10, 1964, requesting a signed statement be obtained from each person known to have been in the Texas School Book Depository Building on November 22, 1963.
Inclosed for your assistance are two copies each of 73 signed statements obtained from those individuals known to have been in the Texas School Book Depository Building on November 22, 1963. Every effort was made to comply with your request that six specific items be incorporated in each statement; however, in many instances the individual furnishing the statement was unaware of the address of persons referred to therein and this information, of necessity, had to be omitted.
Statements were not obtained from the following three Texas School Book Depository Building employees as they were absent from work on November 22, 1963:
Mrs. Joseph A. (Vickie) Davis
Mr. Franklin Kaiser
Mrs. James L. (Dottiie) Lovelady
This complies with your request and no further action is being taken in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
J. Edgar Hoover

COMMISSION EXHIBIT No. 1381 - all
DL 100-10461Any chance this gentleman in bold-highlight was related to Billy Nolan Lovelady someone how (sibling, cousin)?
IF so, any chance he simply was by the office to pick up something for his wife, and suddenly became swept up in a defining moment in history?
He certainly would fit nicely into the fact that no one within the collective CE 1381 statements saw any strangers that day, meaning could it be he was someone most of the folks on scene that afternoon was already familiar w/given his wife's employment there?
