John: I asked my contact not to read each file because this is time consuming. It will be faster if he copies all documents in each file. Not sure if he is going to pay to have them copied I believe that he has a camera and will copy each page. Thank you for your financial support, will update you if he does not copy all files.

John: I gave him a list of files and folders to copy. These files focus mainly on family history and genealogy. Do not want him to look for specific names, instead want him to copy whole files. This is a lot easier to do than reviewing files looking for specific people. He said that he had limited time to work on the files so I sent him the list below and told him that the files are listed in order of priority. box 1 folder: Biographical Material, 1923-1979 - approx. 100 pages box 4 folder 1: Biographical Clippings, 1928-1972 - approx. 20 pages box 4 folder 14: Blair Family Genealogy - approx. 10 pages box 5 folder 2: Gardos, Grace Blair and Emil (sister and brother-in-law), 1964-1980 - approx. 20 pages box 1 folder 2-4: Correspondence, 1941-1979 - approx. 400 pages box 4 folder 3a-3b: Correspondence, Miscellaneous, ca. 1943, 1947, 1957-1980, undated - approx. 300 pages box 2 folder 7: Legal Cases, 1946-1947 - approx. 30 pages

The problem with this video is that if we want to know LHO's state of mind on November 22, 1963 he would have had to been examined by a qualified psychologist. As we all know, he was not examined by one after he was arrested so this will question will never be answered. Another problem with psychological analysis is that it can't prove innocence or guilt. Even if it could be proven that he was mentally unbalanced, that in itself can't prove that he assassinated JFK.

Everyone: Link below is the finding aid for the Blair papers. Can you let me know which ones you want copied of and I will ask them for an estimate. If the cost is too high we can always wait until February or for when Jim will have time to go there. http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi/f/findaid/findaid-idx?c=wiarchives;cc=wiarchives;view=text;rgn=main;didno=uw-whs-mss00234

Jim: Very interesting article. It's clear that the SSA is holding back information. Did John A. ever try to get a copy of their SSN applications? It would be interesting to see who applied for them and when. Did Lee and his mother apply for them and then their SSNs were given to Harvey? Did Harvey's caretaker use Lee's mother's SSN?
-
David: I should have said "mother." Been researching her and it has been tough going. Her origins are as difficult to locate and as important as Harvey's origins. Not sure if she did her patriotic duty because if she played a knowing part of Oswald project, then why did she not say anything to the Warren Commission or the press about the Oswald project? Do you believe she did her patriotic duty? She had a connection to Keith Thompson who was connected to far-right US politics, another interesting fact given her connection to the Oswald project.

Found this online, a short article about Jack D.Tippit. He flew bombers in WWII and the article includes a picture. https://books.google.ca/books?id=i3KpPpNL3JMC&pg=RA4-PP4&lpg=RA4-PP4&dq=jack+d+tippit+president+national+cartoonist&source=bl&ots=RJFiYX5ERi&sig=ACfU3U3BwQRPP5tq3JAskLrnwnqf9PMIGA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj77KyL9b_mAhULq1kKHWnTDnEQ6AEwAnoECAkQAQ#v=onepage&q=jack d tippit president national cartoonist&f=false

Paul: You make a good point about Grossi being an informant. If he was informing on someone they would want to hide this and his connection to the FBI. Grossi’s prison record, which is posted on this thread, has an entry for the time period in 1944 and it states “juvenile delinquency” while other entries show what crime he committed. The source for this entry is the FBI. Looks like they are trying to hide something about this crime. This is speculation on my part but when I was researching Albert Osborne aka John Howard Bowen I discovered that he worked with juveniles while working with the Camp Fire Council. He helped create this organization in the 1930s in Knoxville, TN. It’s goal was to provide activities for young boys who would otherwise might get into trouble with the law. Could Osborne have been the person who mentored Grossi in his teens and then got him the job at JCS? If he was this person, this connection would be too much to ignore.

Jim: No, they are 2 separate people. Albert Osborne was born in England in 1888 and served in the British Army before emigrating to the US in 1914. Grossi is US born. Osborne took the identity of a man named John Howard Bowen who was born in the US in 1880. Wrote a story about Osborne The Dual Life of Albert Osborne which is published on Kenendys and King. I was able to find a picture of the real John Howard Bowen and this is included in my story. Grossi had many aliases, one of which is John Bowen. Grossi's Leavenworth prison record is below. It has a lot of info about him, his family and other connections. https://archive.org/details/johngrossiprisonrecord
