Tonight, John Armstrong sent me the photo on the left, which is "Lee" in the 6th grade- the spring of 1952. John pointed out that it's the closest photo we have in time to the Bronx Zoo photo of Harvey. So, let's put them side by side.


 Same kid? No, I'm afraid not. On the left, we are getting the distinct impression of a bigger, thicker, stockier boy. We're seeing the first signs of that thick bull neck that he was to develop. Even at this young age, you can see that "Lee" on the left had a more massive neck than "Harvey" on the right. 

The neck is a part of the body that develops almost entirely from genetics. It's not from specific exercising, like the biceps. That kid was destined to have a neck like that. It was built into his genes. And what it tells me is that he was the kind of kid who could have built himself up a lot if he wanted. With hard, intense training, he could have gotten very muscular- even more than he was. He was a mesomorph- by nature. Harvey, on the other hand, was scrawny. 

But, I'm sure they weren't going to let Lee become a body-builder, which would have worked against the whole plan to merge their identities. The discrepancies were bad enough as it was. 


Again, it's obvious that Lee's ears stuck out more than Harvey's. Also, we can see that Harvey had finer hair in contrast to Lee's very thick wiry and woolly hair. He really had some mat up there. 

It's interesting that one of the last known picture of Lee is from 1958. 


By then, Lee had grown so much that the massiveness of his body in comparison to Harvey's was getting to be a problem. Lee was 2 inches taller, and I'm thinking 30 to 40 pounds heavier. Maybe even 50 when Harvey was at the low end of his weight range. 



And we can see the inklings of that difference in brawn in the early images of each.




Below, Lee was in middle school, so perhaps two years later:


Notice that he's the biggest kid in the class and by far. Look how much smaller the boy in front of him is. Do you think there is any chance that our Lee Harvey Oswald- the one the world knows- was ever the biggest kid in the class? 

And finally, here below is "a" Lee Harvey Oswald. Which one is he? Lee or Harvey? I could tell right away. Can you?


Are you ready for the answer? Take your time because there is no hurry. That's Harvey. That's no bull neck. And the ears are Harvey's ears with the nice arch formation and them not sticking out like Lee's. Plus, he has the more refined nose like Harvey, unlike Lee whose nose was more lumpen and bulbous. That's our Lee Harvey Oswald. In fact, notice how is left ear is a spot-on match to Doorman's right ear. (Ignore the deformed left ear of Doorman. That's an anomaly that bpete has no explanation for.) 


It's the same ears. In size, shape, angle, pitch, those ears match perfectly.

It's over people. There were two Oswalds. There is no doubt about it- not any more. Stop the nonsense.
