Thomas Graves Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) Greg, Interesting stuff, indeed. Thanks, friend! FWIW, most people call me "Tom" or "Thomas", but my friends call me "Tommy". (They know that's what I prefer to be called now that I'm a 6'4", 210 pound Scots-Irish-Ukrainian-Swedish-Chickasaw senior citizen who is finally "big enough" to handle being called "Tommy" again.) Maybe Compton and/or Beckham were called "Tommy" only by their friends... --Tommy Tommy, Maybe they were called Lulu and Tinkerbelle. Who knows? The point is, there's nothing to say they were called anything (that I'm aware of) other than Thomas - whereas Clark appears to have been known by one and all as "Tommy". Greg (Anglo-Scot-French-Canadian-Cree and still not big enough to let anyone call me Gregory) OK, little Greg. I see your point. --Big Tommy Cree, huh? We used to eat you guys for breakfast! Merry Christmas, --Tommy P.S. For our purposes I wonder if it really matters which "Thomas" (Christian name) Ferrie was referring to?

For our purposes I wonder if it really matters which "Thomas" (Christian name) Ferrie was referring to? Depends whether Ferrie himself is of any genuine concern.

Greg Parker Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Uh, are you serious? Yeah, I think Ferrie is of some concern. How could he not be? Three of Garrison's greatest discoveries were: 1.) Ferrie and LHO in the CAP together, of which he had multiple witnesses 2.) Why Oswald placed 544 Camp Street on the Corliss Lamont flyer, which was probably given to him by Banister through the CIA 3.) Oswald's two partners on the CLinton-Jackson trip Ferrie is directly involved in numbers one and three, and very closely involved in number two. I think you can assume I agree since I am of the opinion Ferrie was murdered. If someone says to you it doesn't matter if the first or second string quarterback plays And you reply "Only if you want to win", I think most people would get what you mean.

Greg, I guess it would be more "interesting" if the Tommy mentioned in Ferrie's suicide note was Thomas Beckham, but unfortunately it wasn't Beckham (or, for that matter, Thomas Nation Compton III). It was just 19 year old Tommy Clark. Bummer. --Tommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC had been bailed out of jail by Ferrie at some stage on charges not known TC "ran" after the assassination for reasons not known TC was wanted by Garrison I'm confused as to how his age is relevant... I could understand it being mentioned if he were 9 or 99... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
