Updated on May 7, 2024: 1. The old man has been identified! I am now revealing his identity…
1. STILL-PICTURE CAMERAS
KTVT cameraman Don Cook with a still-picture camera on his chest at Parkland on November 24, 1963. None of his photos have ever been published. The lens facing us is his 16mm movie-picture camera.
Cancellare of UPI. He had 3 cameras with him at Parkland, but none of his photos seems to have ever surfaced.
A woman is taking pictures, see the red arrow. She is wearing a square press badge, so she is local.
2. MOVIE-PICTURE CAMERAS
John Fulks of KRLD taking a film. Are all published KRLD/CBS films at Parkland taken by Tom Craven?
Below: Fulks taking footage. Credit: CBS.
Fulks outside Parkland. Did he take footage? Spotted by Linda Zambanini.
KTVT camera seen outside Parkland in the Atkins film. Try to find the cameraman’s face in the film. Note that there no Mickey Mouse ears on top of the camera.
Three unidentified cameramen with A metal shoulder support
All three have a metal shoulder support indicating they could be of the same TV station.
Cameraman 1
Has a metal shoulder support. He is behind WBAP cameraman Bob Welch in several images. There is a digit on his camera that looks like a 6. KAUZ-TV in Witchie Falls, Texas is Channel 6. I messaged them on Facebook about this. Also, he has a square press badge indicating he’s a local cameraman.
Above: From the Atkins film.
Below: The cameraman behind Bob Welch has changed positions. The cameraman in the middle (pic taken 2 days later) may be the same as in these other images.
Cameraman 2
Also has a metal shoulder support. He is seen in a photo taken outside Parkland when Lee Oswald was being brought in an ambulance. He has a 16-mm camera attached to his metal shoulder, but is using his 3-lens 8mm camera.
UPDATE: The cameraman in the middle in the images above can be seen in footage taken in the police building hallways. He’s on the right in the image below. And he’s taking film of Oswald who is this room. I do not remember seeing the footage he took.
Cameraman 3
It has often been said that Tom Craven of CBS filmed a part of the Parkland Press Conference. However, there is no image of Craven in the hospital. One KRLD cameraman did, Warren Faulks. As far as I know, his name is not mentioned any book, documentary or testimony. There is an image of a cameraman who look like Craven, but is not. He has a round press badge indicating he was not from the general Dallas area. So far, two professional cameramen at Parkland remain unidentified after 61 years.
Cameraman 4
Unable to specify the date or place. It looks like they arrived at Parkland on 11/22. Seen in the Cooper film shown in C SPAN interview with former ABC newsman Bob Clark. Also has a metal shoulder holder.
3. AUDIO
Audio Guys 1 and 2
*** May 7, 2024 update: The old man has been identified! He has been identified by researcher Linda Zambanini as Arthur W. Bales, Chief of the White House Communication Corp. The man on his right with headphones is most probably his colleague Herbert Smith. Bales reported that he got out of the car he was in during the motorcade. He got out in Dealey Plaza to determine what just happened. Researcher Alex Harris is trying his best to locate the audio recordings that Bales and Smith took. Bales probably recorded the whole Parkland Press Conference.
The man with the Lavalier microphone kit around his neck. It’s probably plugged to the Old Man’s huge microphone.
Audio Guy 3
The man in white shirt who is probably setting a microphone on the desk before Dr. Perry starts to talk. He’s seen in the FWST contact sheets.A researcher says this silver microphone is probably the one used for nurses classes at Parkland so they could hear a speaker speaking. This Lavalier microphone kit could also be the property of Parkland as well. Audio Guy 3 is possibly a Parkland Hospital employee.
Lavalier microphone kits. There are two. One is discussed in the Audio Guy 1 section above.
A Lavalier microphone is seen on the right side of the desk. Probably connecting to the silver microphone.

“Allan Cromley was the Washington-based reporter for The Oklahoman and the Oklahoma City Times. He was riding in a press bus a dozen cars behind the presidential limousine. He was struck by the gravity of the situation when reporters arrived at Parkland Hospital, and he walked past the limo that carried the president. Rose petals and blood splattered the car seats. The roses were carried by the first lady on the drive through Dallas. “I’ll never forget that sight,” he said.”

On Nov. 22, 1963, Dr. Paul Potter was an eager disc jockey running the KXIL Radio control board in Dallas. His shift ended at 6 a.m. – just a few hours before Kennedy was shot and killed.
Friday marked 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. A Hardin-Simmons University communications professor said reporting on Kennedy’s presidency leading up to the assassination made such an impact on his life, that he changed career paths.
He was the Mobile Unit in the motorcade during the shooting. Went to Parkland Hospital and reported later on at the Dallas Police Headquarters with Russ Bloxom. Thanks to Linda Zambanini for identifying Bruce Neal.

RUSS BLOXOM
“He was on duty in Dallas to cover JFK’s landing at Love Field, and perhaps stayed around for a few minutes of the limo procession. He headed back to Fort Worth to file his story, and moments after getting there, the alarm on the wire machine goes off with the first report of a shooting in Dallas.”
He also reported from the Dallas Police Headquarters with Bruce Neal.

GORDON MCLENDON
Was at Trade Mart when he learned of the shooting. Went back to the studios.
KLIF News Director Joe Long was given the duty of “pool reporter” that day for the arrival of Air Force One at Love Field in Dallas. His reports were heard live on KLIF and other stations in Dallas Fort Worth as part of pool coverage.
Gary DeLaune did the 12 Noon newscast on the hour describing the President’s arrival at Love Field.
The Rex Jones show began at 12:05 after the news. Between 12:05 and 12:40 Rex did a normal show.
This information is included on file at the “National Archives” as part of their collection on the JFK Assassination. It includes hundreds of hours of audio tape recorded from Dallas radio stations covering the event, including the entire weekends un-edited aircheck of KLIF.
An album exists that was released by KLIF and Capitol records Special Projects in 1964 which includes an edited aircheck of KLIF coverage from that weekend. The album is called “The Fateful Hours” as is narrated by KLIF’s Don Keyes. The material at the National Archives is the actual un-edited broadcast of KLIF.
KLIF was a United Press International wire service affiliate. UPI reporter Merriman Smith was dictating reports from a mobile telephone in the press car just a few car lengths behind the Presidential limousine.
In the initial moments of coverage, KLIF relied upon UPI’s teletype reports in addition to KLIF reporters racing to key locations at the shooting site at Elm and Houston in downtown, Parkland Hospital, and the Police Department.
News Director Joe Long was in his KLIF Mobile Unit and stopped with many of the press from the motorcade at Elm and Houston Streets in Downtown Dallas, the site of the assassination. Via his two-way radio, he went on the air describing the scene there, then proceeded to the KLIF studios to continue reporting.
Gordon McLendon remembers being at the Trade Mart in Dallas awaiting the President and the speech he was about to give. McLendon rushed into the KLIF studios and immediately went on the air anchoring the KLIF coverage with News Director Joe Long. DeLaune was sent to the Police Department since that was his normal beat and he would have connections there. Another KLIF newsman, Roy Nichols was sent to Parkland Hospital. He did finally get through and was able to confirm that the President was mortally wounded.
KLIF stayed with the story from 12:32 p.m. (two minutes after the shooting) until well into the next day.
Later that Sunday morning, Delaune was in Police Headquarters watching the transfer of Oswald from the City to County Jail. The transfer was to take place at 4:30 a.m. KLIF News Director Joe Long had told newsman Gary DeLaune not to worry about it and go home and get some rest. DeLaune went home, but decided at the last minute to go anyway and bring a recorder. He arrived and positioned himself in the crowd of Press awaiting the transfer.
Some from the KLIF staff were subsequently called to testify before the Warren Commission when their investigation began. In the report, one can find testimony of Dan Patrick (Danny Patrick McCurdy), Russ Knight (Russel Lee Moore), and Ken Dowe.
