Is it known if Ross Sullivan was right or left handed? Apparently, Hartnell observed the gun holster was on Zodiac's right side.

I ran a search on the forum "right+handed+Ross" and didn't see this discussed: search.php?keywords=right+handed+ross&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

I don't know how anyone would know what hand Ross used to write. I think we'll be combing some threads here for general questions like this. ;)

I think there may be ways to triangulate if Ross was right-handed. For example:

--Family member recollections
--Handwriting analysis (for example: the yearbook salutations) might suggest which hand was used
--Photos showing which wrist Ross wore a wristwatch on (most wear a watch on the wrist they don't write with)
--Any surviving footage or outtakes of the 1959 30 minute student film might show Ross writing, shaking hands with someone or wearing a watch.
--Also, if there is a murder scene in the 1959 student film, what hand does Ross use to hold a knife or gun?
