I did not colorize this, but I think it's colorized correctly. It shows how ridiculous JFK's forearm is in the Altgens photo. It isn't connected to him. It goes on forever. It looks like a vacuum wand. If his elbows were bent to bring his hands up, how could his arm go out like that? It couldn't. The imagery is fake. It's art that was very misconceived.
And while you are looking at it, observe the boy in the wool cap. It's bad enough he is wearing a wool cap on a sunny, 71 degree day, in which Jackie complained about the heat, but, he has it pulled down over his ears. The purpose of putting him in the photo was to obscure the man behind him in the Fedora hat, who may have been FBI Agent James Bookhout. I am quite sure the man's back was to the motorcade, and he was facing Oswald in the doorway. Bookhout testified that he was at the Mercantile Bank on Main Street and hung around to see the motorcade. But, he never got to see the President because there were people in front of him. I strongly suspect that tale was a lie.
Mr. Stern. Were you working on November 22?
Mr. BOOKHOUT. Actually, I was on leave on that particular date. However, I had been requested to come to the office to handle some expedited dictation in a particular case. Having completed that, I left the office and proceeded to the Mercantile National Bank, where I transacted some personal business. Upon leaving the bank, it was momentarily expected that the President’s motorcade would pass that area. I stood there for a few minutes, and as the motorcade passed I was actually unable to personally observe the President, due to the crowd on the sidewalk.
