What do you guys think of Stuart L. Reed who was taking photos in Dealey Plaza and at the Texas Theater when Oswald was arrested? Here’s some info on Reed from Greg’s book:

Reed had been staying at the St. Charles Hotel in New Orleans:

Guy Banister is said to have been connected to the St. Charles Hotel:

According to a certain “researcher” of ill repute, David Ferrie also had a connection to the St. Charles Hotel:

I’m actually inclined to believe this because of Banister’s (alleged) connection to the Hotel.

Anyone? As Greg writes in his book, for 30 years, Reed worked in the Secretary of the Army’s personnel management program; and that this was inclusive of the period of Fred Korth’s oversight of the program. So there is not only a connection to Korth, but (apparently) also to Guy Banister who, as we know, was involved with Oswald and the ONI. As I and others have discussed, there is also a likely connection between the 112th MIG and the TSBD Corporation. As noted elsewhere, James W. Powell (a special agent of the 112th MIG) was also curiously taking photos on the day of the assassination. Exactly what all of this means I have no idea, but it’s starting to mess with my head. I would like for someone else to chip in with some ideas please.

Found this thread from 2010 which I'm sure you know about. Greg's on it with the pertinent questions regarding the bus photos.

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/16712-any-info-on-s-l-reed/&page=4

Visited Robin Unger's collection to see the pictures. To me it looks like a photo assignment for contextual documentation feeding the official story line. Photos to fact check and build a story by. Better be sure there was a bus where and when it should have been before you put a patsy on it.

I'm struck by the framing of the photos. The bus is center frame (random chance not likely) with nice wide shots to pick up all the available surrounding information. Same over at the theater. Taken from across the street. Circumspect. Not some bystander caught up in the events. At the theater he's standing back, getting the wide shots again, including the street scenes next door and nearby to the theater. Shoe stores and such.

If there's going to be a story line, use information that is absolutely accurate, as taken from photographic documentation. Get the times. Avoid all screw-ups. Makes me wonder what other photo assignments maybe were active that day that we'll never see. Shots of the cab by the bus stop, or activity around Beckley. Tippit even. Not to mention Dealy.

As for the wider interrelationships of the various entities involved, I don't have the background to speculate. Sliding in from NO, dropping the film, then sliding out on a slow boat to Panama all looks spooky enough to me, that's all. Plus the odds of getting those shots without anything for him to go on but the emerging circumstances of the day? Yeah right.

Also the surfacing of the pics themselves seems operational. These are the pics they wanted put out for the public since they bolstered the official story, so do a little song and dance about granting permission and get them into the record. Didn't have to happen otherwise. Could have buried them just as easily. A little risky I'd say given Reed's sketchy background but sliding by on thin ice was the order of the day. Someone must have thought it was important to get those pictures out there.

Thanks, Jake. There is more to Stuart Reed than meets the eye.

Bart, could you mention it cost me 90 bucks to get these so called scans from them?
