Dot John, I seldom disagree w you but I have the
advantage here -- I have SEEN the ORIGINAL. It's
chipped .John.. No mistake about that.
I also got James Tagues response who worked w
Harold Weisberg, Dillard, etc.. He HAS the original.
Here's his response:
=============James Tague ON========================
"Ed, the Dillard picture you exhibit in this e-mail
does not match the original I have in my possession.
Someone has done a poor job of inking in at the point
where the bullet hit in the picture in this e-mail.
Richard Trask now owns and has in his possession the
negatives he bought from Tom Dillard. He will verify
that this is a phony. I have no answers for someone
who wants to exhibit a phonied picture.
Jim"
===========James Tague OFF========================
.John, the ORIGINAL, (signed by Dillard btw), leaves
absolutely no doubt.. That picture shows a CHIPPED
or scarred or whatever curb in THAT PICTURE.. The
"smeared" version looks nothing like the original..
It WAS filled .. Why/how I don't know, but it WAS
F=I=L=L=E=D.

Great resource!
One thing I especially noticed is the Dillard photo of the mark on the
curb near Tague.

It looks obvious to me that it's not chipped, but rather smeared.
I see no reason in the world to say the curb was "patched," since this
