Hayes' signature figures in controversy
Conning the Cowboys?
http://dal.scout.com/2/835595.html By Mike Fisher TheRanchReport.com Posted Feb 2, 2009 It was a way to be tangibly touched by the late Bob Hayes, and to tangibly touch him. Lucille Hester held the letter she said was from her brother. She showed it about to NFL officials and to the media, and at Saturday’s Pro Football Hall of Fame announcement of the former Cowboys legend’s coming induction, she dramatically read from it. On the day before Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Hester took the stage in her Cowboys-silver ballcap emblazoned on the front with “BOB HAYES’’ and seemed to give emotional voice to the appreciative wishes of the legendary Cowboys receiver, who she said had written the letter and given it to her in 1999 in hopeful anticipation of this day finally arriving. Is there anything wrong if Lucille Hester caps off her championing of the good fight for her brother Bob Hayes with a bit of self- aggrandizing theatrics? Well, yes. Maybe. Especially inasmuch as to my layman eye, the signature on Lucille’s cherished letter in no way resembles the authentic signature of the real Bob Hayes (see below). I am not a detective and I am not a handwriting analyst. But. ... the signatures do not match. Not even close.

Hayes' signature figures in controversy
First, how do we know that the sig you say is authentic is (you didn't
say where it was from), Second, the sig isn't even close I agree. HOWEVER, a handwriting expert could have a problem saying it's not. The H in Hayes leans in on both at the top (that's a pretty significance similarity). Though not alike in the letter b at the end of Bob, the second b in both signatures are disconnected which is another distinctive characteristic. Also, there's an open o in bob from the left side which is unique and sometimes a sign of left-handedness. I don't know if he's left handed. The biggest problem with the whole thing is the capital B. I don't see how that would change from being rushed (adding the loop). Either you loop it always and use the straight line method. And at the end, the Y is way off. However, that could be chalked up to rushing. The last thing that bugs me is the ending... one is more straight while the other is looping up and is short while the other long. Usually you flourish a lot or don't. I agree it's a forgery mostly because of that B. But like the Jon Benet Ramsey case, even the experts couldn't lock her away, proving handwriting is an inexact science.
