 This is James Bookhout's draft registration card that Mike Morgan posted, showing his height as 6 ft. But, by enlarging it, I noticed that there was other writing there that 6 ft is written over. This is the only entry on the draft card that has this effect. The rest of it is clean. So, they apparently tried to delete what was there and replace it with 6 ft. It looks like they revised the weight ledger too.

James Bookhout was short. He said he couldn't see JFK on Main Street because there were people in front of him. And James Hosty wrote in Assignment: Oswald that Bookhout moved a pedestal of some kind from the Homicide Bureau to the doorway so that he would be high enough to see Hosty, whom he was looking for. A tall man wouldn't do that. Like the Garage Shooter of Oswald, James Bookhout was short. And the Shooter was the shortest man in the basement, that we know of.
