(Has anyone ever found a NYC address at anytime for Fred Blair? It is entirely plausible that Blair lived at 217 E. 86th with Grace and Emil Gardos, but left no record. He was probably there, but has anyone found any evidence of his presence in NYC?)
Has anyone checked the NYC city directory?

I think a program encompassing two Lee Harvey Oswalds could have started even before the creation of the CIA.
When the program was started, do you think that there may have been other young boys who were brought into into it? Given that this was a long term program, the possibility of something happening to either Lee or Harvey before they could be sent abroad could have prompted them to find other young boys who looked similar and who could participate in the same program.

Please let me know how I can help with your efforts to locate Mrs. Tippit’s notes and/or descendants.
Found a people search website that had possible telephone numbers for her daughter and granddaughters. Called some of these numbers today and some were disconnected. A few had voicemail so I left a message to call me back. Left a message with the probate court as well about obtaining a copy of her will. The will should have information about her daughter,granddaughters and other relatives that can be used to contact them.
Did some Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter searches as well but did not find anything.
How far are you from Westport or do you know anyone who lives near there? Local contacts can expedite the search for her daughter and granddaughters.

John Butler, we know from the testimony of Nelson Delgado that "Oswald" apparently knew at least some Yiddish! Whether or not "Oswald" was indeed the biological son of the Gardos parents (and we now in 2024 know for a fact he was NOT their biological son), we are certain there must have been some connection between them, however brief. If there are any surviving elementary school records for either little John Gardos (or "Oswald"), the Ramaz School archives (if they exist) are a good place to start..
Ramaz website describes the school as Orthodox. Why would communists send their child and/or Oswald to a religious school?

Can anyone here get ahold of a copy of the 1962 edition of "Circus Maximus"?
Why do you want the 1962 edition?

The most likely conduit for such a similarity would be Edwin Ekdahl to his lawyer (the very well connected Fred Korth, Washington power-broker and future Secretary of the Navy) to someone that Korth knew who would want to take advantage of that physical similarity.
Paul:
Have you done any research on the Boston trip? Apparently Ekdahl, Margaret Oswald and Lee when to Boston for 6 months. It is also interesting that Ekdahl's son, Dewey, did not know where his father lived for 3 years, and it was during this time period that the Boston trip was supposed to have taken place.

Maybe Oswald was removed from the custody of Emil Gardos during one of his legal battles. Maybe when he was deported. FBI didn't know what to do with him, but CIA said hmm, we have some ideas for a Russian speaking kid with no known relatives!
That is a very interesting theory.
-
Does anyone know why Communists would be taking care of Oswald, given that he was been prepared for some future role in an intelligence operation?

Called one of her granddaughters today, she did not answer so I left a message. Will keep you updated.
Jim:
Have not heard back from her so I will call another person.
Have contact information for 2 of of 5 people I want to contact. Will need help locating the other 3 people.

This documentary from 2019 gives a pretty good summary for those us (like me) who may be unfamiliar with the basics of the case. It is not exhaustive, but well worth watching (the entire video is available on YouTube with ads).
Seen it and recommend it to anyone who wants to know what happened to him.

Okay. Perhaps others here can add something of use. I cannot. And, dare I suggest that this is a topic for another thread? What's the connection to this thread?
My original post was about Bloomfield knowing the Myers who lived in Westport, CT. It is probably just a coincidence that he knew someone who lived close to the Tippits.

Louis Mortimer Bloomfield died in 1984. A few years before his death donated 31 boxes of documents to the Library and Archives Canada. This included correspondence with some well-known politicians such as George H. W. Bush. The one condition Bloomfield placed on the donation was that public access to the papers would be restricted for 20 years after his death. However, when researcher, Maurice Phillips, attempted to gain access to these materials in 2004 he found that Bloomfield's widow, Justine Stern Bloomfield Cartier, was still refusing permission for them to be released into the public domain.
Phillips took Library and Archives Canada to court and won his case. The archives opened them to the public on the condition that only files 50 years or older would be released. I began reviewing these files then in 2018 the archives closed them again. I took them into court and won my case and now most of the files are open to the public.

A successful lawyer he worked for years at the law firm of Phillips and Vineberg in Montreal. He was also a major stockholder of Permindex, a corporation based in Switzerland.
He was not a stockholder in Permindex. His role was to represent some of its shareholders. In the appendix to a book review I wrote I discuss Bloomfield;s role with CMC.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Office of Strategic Services in 1942. Bloomfield was recruited and given the rank of major. In 1947, the OSS evolved into the Central Intelligence Agency, and Bloomfield continued doing contract work for the new organization.
The only evidence that Bloomfield was involved in intelligence work is his own admission that he did some work in Mexico during WWII.

Well, I'm not so sure. That's the point. My readings indicate that no birth record has ever been located and there are essentially two stories about the name: yours, which is the initials don't stand for anything, and some early perhaps propagandistic attempts to claim the initials stood for "Jefferson Davis."
The census record shows JD, why would his parents provide a first name that was not his real one? I believe that JD was his real name.

Ah. Okay. But no birth records. That's odd. And no wedding announcement either in the papers from Red River area in 1946 I gather too. Or am I wrong on that?
Did not search for other records but am sure they could be found somewhere.
A lot has been written about JD Tippit. Have you ever read anything about him where JD was not used?

Louis Bloomfield sent a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Max Meyer who lived in Westport CT. Have not done any research on these people and do not know what their connection to Bloomfield is.

Are you aware of a birth record which can either confirm or deny that J.D.'s parents elected to forgo centuries of Judeo-Christian naming practices for the son who, unlike his siblings, received no given name as such?
My source is the 1940 census.

In addition, the connective tissue between he and Ekdahl is I think, if I recall, Edward R. Finch, whose grandson became Nixon's son-in-law.
Can you elaborate on the connection you believe there is between Finch and Ekdahl.

By initials only, the name of J.D. Tippit in Connecticut is identical to the name of J.D. Tippit in Texas.
Officer JD Tippit's first name was JD it's not an initial.

Just got off the phone with John A. and we discussed your ideas for some time. John was absolutely convinced that you would be the best person to make the call because you had previous contact with Tina and might not come across as a complete stranger. If she was unaware of your previous communication with her mother, you could at least explain what had happened.
You might tell her the current status of the research on this matter and explain that a fellow in Budapest is currently trying to help us with it. John thought it would be important to try to explain to her the importance of the call and to ask her not to throw any of her grandmother’s old paperwork away without checking to see if it has something to do with the anonymous caller from so long ago.
I think John A’s thoughts on this make sense. Do you agree, and is there anything else any of us can do to help? Good luck!
Hi Jim:
Called one of her granddaughters today, she did not answer so I left a message. Will keep you updated.

The Tippits of CT are very much involved in perpetuating that story.
They were perpetuating the story that Oswald was a communist?

Are you doing research on Bentley, if yes what sources will you be reviewing?
