  1. My thanks to the people on this forum who responded in a helpful, respectful way to my questions.
  2. Larry, thanks for your response. I confess to still being a little unclear about how the material that is known as the Ferrell archive or collection actually became part of that archive or collection. My impression, based on what I've read previously about Ferrell, is that the process of accumulating documents apparently took decades, but the exact means by which the documents (and other materials) made their way from various places, such as, perhaps, NARA, to Ferrell's home in Dallas, remains somewhat opaque to me. (I understand, based on a story in The Dallas Morning News, that some, if not most, of the Ferrell material is now at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.)
  3. Larry, thanks for your response. FYI: I submitted an FOIA to the CIA for records about Ferrell and got back a "rejection" response. I had asked, among other things, for copies of any FOIAs she had submitted to the CIA and the agency told me specifically that it had no record of having received any FOIA request from her. I also submitted an FOIA to the FBI for any records on Ferrell and got back a "no responsive records" response. (I'm appealing that response.) The bureau did not tell me specifically, in its cover letter, that it had found no records of any FOIA requests from Ferrell and in looking back over my initial FOIA I see that I didn't specifically ask the bureau to provide copies of FOIA requests from Ferrell. (I've learned that I have to tell these agencies, esp. the FBI, exactly what to look for and where to find it and even then they sometimes ignore me.) Re: the possibility of the MFF site having received documents as the result, presumably, of FOIA requests from the AARC to NARA -- do you know offhand if those FOIAs (I assume they were FOIAs) were written and submitted by Bernard Fensterwald, who, I understand, founded AARC?
  4. Does anyone know how Mary Ferrell acquired the documents in her archive? Did she acquire the documents by submitting FOIA requests directly to government agencies or did someone else submit FOIA requests and pass on the released material to her?
  5. I found what appears to be a new website dedicated to the Kennedy assassination. The address is 22november1963.org.uk. I got no response from the "contact" email address on the site and wondered if anyone knows who's running it? BTW: It seems pretty well done.
  6. I'm John Kirsch, an associate editor for an English-language publishing company in Mazatlan, Mexico. I previously worked as a newspaper reporter for papers in Iowa and Texas. I have a B.A. in journalism from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and an A.A. degree in photography from Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa.
