	Umbrella Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Umbrella Man is a man who appears in the Zapruder film, and several other films and photographs on the edge of the grassy knoll during the JFK assassination within Dealey Plaza.
		One commonly held theory is that the Umbrella Man was signaling the shooters, and he is depicted this way in both Oliver Stone's film JFK and an episode of the X-Files.
		Umbrella Man was also a nickname for Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940, because he often carried an umbrella in public and was invariably depicted with it in cartoons - sometimes even drawn as an umbrella.

		After an appeal to the public by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, 'Louis Steven Witt' came forward in 1978 and claimed to be the Umbrella Man. He claimed he still had that umbrella and did not know he had been the subject of controversy.
		One commonly held theory is that the Umbrella Man was signaling the shooters, and he is depicted this way in Oliver Stone's film JFK.
		Fletcher Prouty and others, is that the umbrella contained a poison dart fired at Kennedy to immobilize President Kennedy's muscles from moving (his movements are seen to freeze and cease within two seconds of Z-225).

	HSCA "Umbrella Man" Testimony
		Editor's Note- "Umbrella Man" was the name given to the man with an open and upraised umbrella near the right/front of President Kennedy's motorcade limousine as the first shot sounded in Dealey Plaza.
		It is moments after the president has been shot, and the man is sitting cn the curb, his umbrella by this time lying at his [PB429] feet, The only problem was that he is off to the corner of the picture, and the image is tiny, unrecognizable in fact.
		You closed the umbrella, sat down, dropped the umbrella on the sidewalk and realized that what had started out as a, quote, "joke," somehow or other had turned into something that hadn't worked, that was sour.

		Umbrella man was there in Dealey Plaza, trying to block the shots from the Glassy Troll.

		This page is a tribute to Michael Jackson’s personal umbrella man. he has been there doing his job at the hardest of times and there is no doubt he is the single best damn umbrella man in the world.

		Umbrella lessons usually consist of a walking up and down in the shade on an overcast day, so there is no real threat of Michael getting wet or caught in the sun.

	Aspen Times review of Umbrella Man - 9/96
		One such exploded into view last weekend, with the production of Steve Skinner's "Umbrella Man" rock opera at the Wheeler Opera House, a truly stunning event that will forever be the source of savage, guilt-ridden disappointment on the part of those who missed it.
		"Umbrella Man" is a postmodern fable with vaguely messianic overtones, blending noisy strains of social protest and environmentalism, and laced with occasionally preachy exhortations about love on a personal and a universal scale.
		It can only be added that the production of "Umbrella Man" was another of those unpredictable moments in the life of this town where the creativity and determination of one person, with the help of a legion of friends, served up something fine and admirable for the community's enjoyment.

		But the next spring, when he began to realize that he had mended for a while all the umbrellas in the vicinity and that his trade was flagging, he set his precious little home in order, barricaded door and windows, and set forth for farther fields.
		In spite of her stoutness she was not as strong as the man. She was not at all strong, and, moreover, the constant presence of a sense of injury at the hands of life filled her very soul with a subtle poison, to her weakening vitality.
		They lived together afterward in the little house in the woods, and were happy with a strange crys- tallized happiness at which they would have mocked in their youth, but which they now recognized as the essential of all happiness upon earth.

	Soldier Ant: The Umbrella Man
		There's a man, on this bright sunny day, standing on the sidewalk right where the President is about to pass, who opens an umbrella.
		Not only that, but there's a slim, dark-complected man standing on the sidewalk near the umbrella man who, after JFK has been hit, raises one hand high in the air.
		Based on blurry still photos of the pair, the dark-complected man may possibly speak into a radio, then conceal it in his back when he and the umbrella man, having taken their respite on the curb, stroll away in opposite directions.

		He testified that he was walking toward the street and opening his umbrella as the motorcade approached, and while "other people I understand saw the President shot and his movements," Witt did not see this because of the umbrella he was opening in front of him.
		In the umbrella version of the weapon, the projectile would be fired through the webbing when the umbrella was open.
		Photographs show the Umbrella Man was already stationed on the sidewalk with a raised umbrella, and thus (had) a clear view of the approaching motorcade.

		Over the course of nearly a half century of writing and composing, Larry Stock turned out literally scores of songs that became hits, noting at another juncture, that "I have more than a thousand unpublished songs." Most popular of all his songs was "Blueberry Hill," which, coincidentally, was a major hit recording for Fats Domino.
