sleuthing!!

1. Who is the "principal" person depicted in this photograph?
Robert F. Kennedy
OK - easy
2. When (year ... month ... day) was the photograph made?
my guess is 1965 ... October ... 23rd ... I believe it was a Saturday
I myself am not sure and am trying various ways to pin down the date of
the event. I thought the car might provide a good clue but it seems that
these special Continentals were used over several years. This one seems
very much like a 1965 model meaning that the photograph probably was
taken after that date ... but I could be wrong. Was RFK on a tour
seeking the nomination? Could be Fall 1965 or Spring of 66?
3. How many people are included in the photograph?
16
Well, there are 7 in the car and 10 on the steps.
4. Where exactly was the photograph made?
"made": in someone's darkroom?
taken: in front of the old eastman building on plymouth ave north?
Very good sleuthing ... how long did it take to get this close to the
actual location? BTW, it was Plymouth Avenue South not north but the
fact you chose Plymouth Avenue is impressive!
5. Who made the photograph?
I'm going to guess that you made this photo, andy
OK ...easy!
I sent a note to the RFK Library to see if their refernce people might
give a hand. Then the local newspapers but that would involve me having
to get off my office chair!!
cheerio,
andy
