Michael,

 

I'm not sure this is directed at me, but I'm sorry. I don't remember this. Old age, I guess. Do you remember the topic?

Hello Steve,

Yes. I thought that it was in one of your recent posts with regard to Oswald in Miami, Alabama, in the fall of 1963 etc. I remember reading about about a meeting that included Elliott Roosevelt. The meeting also included, I think, Phillips. I got diverted and read some interesting pieces. I wanted to share them in context with the original thread but I cannot find that thread now.

It might not have been one of your threads. Thanks for your response. 

The post was definitely within the last two months.

Again, thanks for your reply, and as always, thanks for your contributions.

 

Cheers,

 

Michael

Michael,

 

I'm sorry. I'm drawing a blank.

Here's the two threads about Alabama and Miami, but there's no mention of Roosevelt:

http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/24646-oswald-in-miami/

I tried a Google search combining Elliott Roosevelt and Roosevelt, but nothing turned up.

Steve, I've begun to wonder if you weren't supposed to draw a blank as a distraction to kill the thread.

That was not my intent. I apologize for butting-in. 

And Ron, you could have just carried-on with the discussion.

Hit List reaffirmed my memory.  Not a lot of info available on Pritchett but she was supposedly suffering from Leukemia and died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage the day after Killagen.  I never knew cerebral hemorrhage's were associated with Leukemia.  It's most often associated with Head Trauma.  What a unusual circumstance or strange coincidence given the timing, the questionable circumstances of Dorothy's death and the disappearance of her Ruby interview/notes/files.

Where were we.....?

This is where we were, from the beginning. . .

Steve was interested in writing an essay on women who had heard about, or spoken of, an assassination attempt on JFK before it happened and had told someone about it.  He gave us a list of five names for starters.

One of the women on that list was Elizabeth Cole.  Steve then provided us with a Mary Ferrell Foundation link concerning her.

Yet Steve doesn't link us to additional, relevant information on Ms. Cole that he most certainly knows about firsthand.

Elizabeth Cole was an intriguing person.  And the story she told equally so.  Same with the FBI/Secret Service handling of it.  Steve could write his essay just on her alone.

Ron,

 

Yeah, I took this as far as I knew how at the time.

 

On a side note, the Jesuit connection is an interesting one in light of the fact that it was a Jesuit college in Alabama that Oswald went to talk to in July of 1963.

I still wish we had a photograph of Fermin De Goicochea.

PS: Lee Farley was a good researcher.

I miss the posts of James Richards, hope he's still well.

Steve,

It was Lee Forman, not Lee Farley.  Farley was also a Forum member in those days, he just wasn't on that old Elizabeth Cole thread.  I used to confuse the two myself.

To Steve and everyone else, don't let these two threads die.  The conclusions about Cole back then were, at the very least, shaky on the surface for a number of reasons.

Ken.

Ken,

 

Geez. I did say Farley, didn't I?

Lee, I hope you never see this.

 

Ken, I never was able to nail the Elizabeth Cole story down. There was a Conference when she said there was, and at the place she said it was at; so that lent some credibility to her story.

For me, it hinged on whether she called the FBI or not when she got back. The FBI has no record of her call, but that's no guarantee either, is it?

 

The Senator Raymond Baker her mother was supposed to have contacted... It looks like he was trying to get investigations going into mob connections to the Las Vegas casinos.

If you go to Lee's post, he refers back to other topics relating to Billie Sol Estes and Sherman Moody.

Quote, "RFK was apparently going to open an investigation into the numerous accounts of fraud in the Insurance game, all connected to the casinos and hotels being built by certain Mob associated individuals - thanks to Senator Raymond Baker's prodding - but before he could get anything going....JFK was eliminated."

Interesting.

I found an interesting article about Marita Lorenz in The Daily Beast.  She claims she was once pregnant with Castro's child.  She says the child's name was Andre and someone told her that he had become a doctor.  Supposedly he's the picture of Fidel himself.  When she was 7 months pregnant she claims that she was drugged and when she woke up the pregnancy was gone.  Either she had an abortion, or miscarried or the premature baby was stolen.  Her son from an American man is searching for his brother Andre.

OMG, can we get back to the subject: What about Elizabeth Cole.

If you can believe it, I never heard of her.  You mean in addition to Sylvia Odio and Rose Cheramie another woman had advance knowledge of the hit?

She sounds really interesting.
