Altgens story is an interesting one.
I guess at least the AP knew the parade route that morning because Ike pulled rank and went down Dealey Plaza to position himself and his new fancy camera (using the semi long to one day become legendary in it's own right lens instead of his kit 50 - he wanted to get an upclose image) at just the right spot to get the money picture. He would have had the money picture that day too had he not froze at that particular moment. It is also intriguing how if they would have let him stay at the bridge he would of gotten a nice telephoto shot of the actors in this drama and by using the 105 and the compression it affords would make it much easier to see nested snipers. And of course all that witness evidence never asked for until way after the fact especially things he said about the Knoll.
One controversial figure to come from Altgens photo - Lovelady. Interesting he looks just like Oswald and dies at the ripe old age of 41. And then there is Mr Altgens himself and his wife Mrs. Altgens nee Halliburton!? Both die at the same time in their Dallas home and forever close another chapter in this horrible book.

So, Lovelady dies right when the HSCA Report was coming out and the Altgens die right during the ARRB. Nothing to see here. Move along.
