When Jack Lawrence went to retrieve his car (which he left parked close to the YMCA where he stayed, and not
on the parking lot behind the picket fence where witnesses heard shots come from) he was offered a lift by a
colleague who happened to be a retired colonel. Who was he?
He knew that he had to get the car as soon as possible though, because he had left it in a yellow "No parking"
zone and was afraid it might be towed. Lawrence was reluctant, however, to walk a mile back, "a block or so
from the Y, to get the car." The salesman he was then sharing a booth with offered him a lift. Lawrence says
that he cannot now remember this man's name, but he describes him as a retired colonel from California who
for a hobby wrote novels about the Civil War in such detail that he would even research the kinds of buttons
worn on the soldier's uniform. At first, Lawrence could not remember which branch of the military "the Colonel"
had served in, and he described him as a balding man, mid-forties with wavy, reddish blonde hair.
"The Downtown Ford-Mercury car dealership was owned by and included a sales manager who were both retired Air Force Colonels.",
notes Bill Kelly on JFKCounterblog "The US Air Force at Dealey Plaza"
So:
1. Is the salesman Lawrence mentions the owner of the car dealership? I think Lawrence would have know if he was.
2. Was the reddish blond colonel a third retired colonel at the car dealership?
3. Was Lawrence making things up?
