David Boylan

Larry, HDG had associated with Cuesta quite often after his arrival. He spent some time in a training camp run by Eloy Menoyo and was participating in missions into Cuba. There are certainly connections between HDG and Rosselli, as well as Rip Robertson. I think there is very little doubt the Cuesta mission in 1966 was a set up. BTW, the guy who gave up Vidal to the Cubans was Pedro Diaz Lanz. James, Fascinating. Diaz Lanz was with Carlos Prio and Paulino Sierra when they visited HL Hunt looking for funds. Diazl Lanz was also close to Frank Sturgis. Both Diaz Lanz brothers and Sturgis/Fiorini visited W. Williams at his ranch in Fla in an attempt to get him to fly a mission into Cuba to drop "leaflets." I still haven't resolved the Sierra/Prio/JGCE initiative. Who were their backers?

Zach, Loran Hall mentioned that he and Nico Crespi "heckled" LHO in Dallas when he was passing out leaflets. Hall gave 2 dates. HSCA testimony was June (I think). He told Dick Russell it was October. Of course LHO was in N.O. in June and Hall is so reliable.

Thank You, David. Rip seemed to be somewhat of a complex character. Speaking with some associates of his, they had varying opinions of him and what exactly he was doing at certain times - like officially being on a particular operation but actually participating in something completely different. There is no doubt the Cubans loved him. What is most curious is Rip's relationship with Hal Feeney and their common handling of a certain Cuban exile who is of great interest to me.

James! Welcome back.

As of June the DPD was still looking at Duff/McDuff/"Scotty" as the prime suspect. Watts and his friends had a couple of investigators from Oklahoma trying to get Scotty to confess. The Dallas PD had a 27 page transcript of the recorded conversation.

I find that very interesting, Bill. One other thing about Dick Russell in this regard -- H.L. Hunt's butler told Dick Russell that he overheard Hunt and Walker discuss Lee Harvey Oswald privately -- before the JFK assassination. They appear to have been super-secret about it. Best regards, --Paul Trejo An educated guess would be that George De Mohrenschildt told his friend Lester Logue about LHO.

Robert, Thanks for posting this. I've spent years reading literature from the far right and left. Today's far right closely resembles that of the late 1950's and early 1960's. The Tea Party is just the latest incarnation of the JBS.

Nancy Perrin Rich told the Warren Commission that the gun running meetings she attended with Jack Ruby involved Enfields. Steve Thomas Good to Steve still posting!

Duff claimed they had an association but later denied it. - http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh25/pdf/WH25_CE_2389.pdf

This might be the most up to date version - http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=2363

Paul, Sylvia spoke to her uncle Agustin Guitart. I believe her uncle was in the courtroom when Oswald was arraigned.

Another possibility would be Hall's friend Nico Crespi. Hall testified to the HSCA and told Dick Russell that he and Crespi went to harrass Oswald. I was surprised the HSCA did not follow up on this with more questions. I must admit I've gone back and forth on this for years whether Hall/Howard or some other combination visited Odio. Wasn't the stated purpose of their visit to have Sylvia translate a fund raising letter from Manolo Ray from Spanish to English? If memory serves, I believe that Howard told Garrison investigator Steve Burton that he was still pissed at Hall and that Hall still had the letter.

Dick Russell: Dick Russell, who was at this conference with Escalante, wrote about the story in the 2003 edition of The Man Who Knew Too Much: The most intriguing news to come out of the Nassau conference, however, was Escalante's revelation about what another leader of the Alpha 66 group allegedly told him. As we have seen, Nagell would never reveal the true identities of "Angel" and "Leopoldo" - the two Cuban exiles who he said had deceived Oswald into believing they were Castro operatives. Instead, on several occasions when I prodded him, Nagell had cleverly steered the conversation toward a man named Tony Cuesta - indicating that this individual possessed the knowledge that he himself chose not to express. Cuesta, as noted earlier, had been taken prisoner in Cuba during a raid in 1966.

Anyone have a good picture or pictures of Tony Cuesta?

Would someone please remind me why Hall and Howard decided to take a bus from Dallas to Miami, temporarily leaving the loaded trailer in Dallas rather than continue towing it all the way to its eventual destination of Miami? Could it have been to give Hall and Seymour a plausible reason to be in Dallas a bit later? Thanks, --Tommy So that John Masen could convert them to full auto.
