Based on the location of bullet holes in the death car, it appears that the source of the shooting was from the left and above the drivers side and also there is a considerable number of bullet holes in the right front windshield. Were there two shooting vantage points?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028562838391954237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699209633460837182.post-89049346655545739102009-09-11T08:43:14.340-04:002009-09-11T08:43:14.340-04:00As Ted owned a motorcycle and sidecar, those were ...As Ted owned a motorcycle and sidecar, those were his motorcycle pants-- or as "Boots" likes to call them, "motorcicle" pants.A.

This gem of a B&C work, actually shows (in detail) the locations involved in B&C History, and is filled with B&C info-- presented chronologically from the earliest days until the end. I would recommend this B&C volume to all. It costs about $60 bucks, but to me-- is worth even more.A.

I seem to recall in her memoirs something about it being easier to move around in than a dress, but they had trousers and walking shoes for women back then. Why did she choose to wear something so conspicuous? Anyone know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
