Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

The Wizard has taken this 1934 image of Bookhout from his SMU yearbook and blended it with one from 1930. 

And here is the high school photo from 1930: 

Note that the above image is not acknowledged to be Bookhout, but it is definitely him. The image usually designated as Bookhout is actually Tommy Collinwood, and we even found a yearbook in which Tommy signed his name over that image.

So, the guy on the far right in front in the group picture is definitely NOT James Bookhout, even though Denis Morissette and Linda Zambanini have claimed it. Why would Tommy Collinwood write his name over James Bookhout's image? Besides, you can see the resemblance directly above. So, that's Collinwood. This is Bookhout:

 Credit for this discovery goes entirely to the Wizard. He's a Wiz. 

Alright, so now we compare the 1934 image of Bookhout with the 1930 image:

You see what I mean? It's an exact match. That short, pudgy guy was Bookhout.

And you really think he grew into this?

As the saying goes: fat chance.
