Full Version: Biography: Thomas Graves
See below....
Hi Thomas,
Very interesting bio. The case made you not take your damn contracts exam??? I can relate, tho I did take mine. I used to "reward" myself after exams by reading the latest books on who killed JFK. Been an atty now almost 20 years.
I also have many comments on your Mac Wallace post, but I will hold off making them as I am way too close to this area to be truly objective. The person responsible for obtaining the print (J Harrison who died this past May) was a close friend of mine for 7 years, as is Nathan Darby, as is Barr McClellan.
I too had many time of doubt about Wallace and his possible involvement. I will just say this: Nathan is positive of this match. And he is a wonderfully sincere, humble man. I would stake my life on his intregity. (He is also, sadly, very near death from a stroke).
Welcome to this forum. SOme great folks here, but watch out for Tim Gratz
) He's the resident "spook" in my opinion. Constantly pushes the "JFK- was- trying to- kil-l Castro- and- Castro- killed him" disinformation story. Gets very old.
Hope you post more. And yes you did it perfectly correct.
Cheers,
Dawn (Meredith)

I attended Texas Christian University in Fort Worth in '67-'68 and San Diego State on and off from that point on. One night in Fort Worth, my buddies and I went to the notorious "Cellar" nightclub where the sign inside said "Evil spelled backwards is Live" (or was it the other way around?) and where JFK's Secret Service agents were drinking into the "wee hours" the night before the assassination. In the summer of '73, I hitchhiked to Alaska and worked in the crab industry on Kodiak Island until the first day of spring '74... Moved back to San Diego for a few years and then moved to Cowboy and Indian country in Arizona in 1980. In '91-'92 I was back in S.D., attending a law school that didn't require a bachelor’s degree; I got the second highest grade in my Torts class but didn't even take the freaking final exam in contracts because, guess what, the film "JFK" had come out and I spent way too much time "researching" the assassination and far too little time reading my contracts books! Thinking I'd flunked out and on the advice of a Czech friend in La Jolla, I started making plans to move to the Czech Republic and teaching English there... I originally planned to stay there for a year, but ended up staying there for seven. Now I'm back in So Cal. In addition to working, I spend my time surfing the Internet, playing online chess, and working on a novel based on my experiences in the Latin Quarter of Paris while on my way to the Czech Republic...
Regarding the assassination, the books I've read are "Crossfire" by Jim Marrs, "Coup d'etat in America" by Canfield and Weberman, "Best Evidence" by David Lifton, and "Oswald and the CIA" by John Newman. I'm convinced that I can learn a lot from this Forum if I keep an open mind. Perhaps I can even contribute from time to time in some small way...

Hi Dawn,
Thank you for the welcome to the Forum. It's great to be able to pose questions to and share information with so many people (such as yourself) who have been researching this tragic event for so many years...
I know next-to-nothing about the "lifting" of latent fingerprints, etc. Specifically, I don't know if it is possible to distinguish between a "planted" fingerprint and the real thing. In the thread, I was speculating that Wallace's print might have been "planted" on the box in the "sniper's nest" by the use of some kind of adhesive tape, etc. I wasn't trying to impune the integrity and/or expertise of your friend, Nathan Darby. Whether or not Wallace's print was real or was planted, a 14-point match sounds pretty darn conclusive to me...
Sincerely,
Thomas
That's all, folks........

I'm still working on it off and on. I'm writing about staying at Shakespeare and Company in Paris while on my way to the Czech Republic in 1993. The novel incorporates old tunnels, ancient churches, the question Jimmy Durante once asked me on the train in Del Mar, and (last but not least) the toothache I have right now.
