The hole In the door

[Dennis Urban]

I read somewhere that perhaps one of the Fords bored the hole at an earlier time to observe activities in the box. That just does not make sense. What I have never read is any account after the assassination noting the freshness of the hole vs it being there for some time; e.g. was the inner circumference of the hole bare wood or painted over indicating it had been done some time before. Had the Fords bored it, they would likely have wanted to make it appear as inconspicuous as possible. If the hole was bored on 4/14, the appearance wouldn't matter although the presence of wood shavings could create suspicion.
