John Bevilaqua Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have located some pics of Castorr. Nancy Perrin's description of the mystery Colonel fits him to a "t" - as does her description of his wife.http://reopenjfkcase.dockearth.com/?q=node/52 Let me rephrase that before the resident grammarian remonstrates in a roisterous ruckus. Nancy Perrin's description of the mystery Colonel fits him to a "t". Likewise, her description of his wife would appear to be accurate. Hey Greg, That really sucks that your web page was hacked and destroyed. Were you targeted specifically? Do you have any suspects? It's a shame we can't protect ourselves from this kind of attack. You had a number of important articles that I hope you can retrieve. Colonel Castorr certainly got around in different circles doesn't he? BK Some of the hosting sites with the best virus and hacking protections are: http://www.discountasp.net http://www.alentus.com http://www.crystaltech.com is a lower priced, slightly lower performance site. If a site is totally hacked and destroyed even the evidence probably disappeared. There are programs which can scape the HTML on a daily or weekly basis and save an image of it for recovery. Let me know if you want to know the URLs. Always a good idea. But don't let the paranoia trip get to you, if you use low quality web hosts, crashes can occur as a result of normal operations or lack thereof. Hosting hundreds of sites is a very tricky business and system crashes or disk crashes occur all the time for the unprepared ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROBERT CASTORR: MEMOIRS OF A PSYCHIC SPY (ARTIKELNUMMER: ) http://www.remoteviewing.de/index.php/component/jshopping/product/view/5/69?Itemid=0 ------------------- Mrs. RICH. Well, we got there and at that time there was the colonel and another middle-aged woman, kind of a real old granite face I would describe her, steel-gray hair. Looked rather mannish. (1) And there was a rather---- Mr. HUBERT. Did you know her name? Mrs. RICH. No; I was introduced. Names were mentioned around. I don't recall it. And then there was another rather pugnacious-looking fellow, who looked at though he might have been an ex-prizefighter.(2) Mr. HUBERT. Were you introduced to him? Mrs. RICH. I was introduced to everyone. Mr. HUBERT. Who else was there? Mrs. RICH. The colonel, the woman, and the prizefighter type, a couple of other men that just kind of sat off in the corner. One of them looked rather dark, like he might have been Cuban or Latin American, and Dave, my husband, and myself. Mr. HUBERT. Tell us what happened at that meeting. Mrs. RICH. Well, apparently from what I could discern, they had some kind of a hitch in their plans. And at that time I point blank spoke up and said, "Well, suppose we discuss the plans in full before we"--meaning my husband and myself--"get into this. I would like to know what we are getting into. And at this point you know by now I certainly have a say in this matter." Then it came out-- boom---quite blank. We were going to bring Cuban refugees out---but we were going to run military supplies and Enfield rifles in. Mr. HUBERT. Who made that statement? Mrs. RICH. I believe it was the Latin-looking fellow that first made the statement. But the colonel clarified it. The colonel seemed to be the head of it and seemed to do all the talking. Mr. HUBERT. He was in uniform? Mrs. RICH. Yes; he was. Mr. HUBERT. Could you describe what the colonel looked like? Mrs. RICH. Vaguely. I would say approximately 45 to 50, perhaps a little younger. He was kind of bald, and that may have made him look older. As I recall, a rather slightly built man--and I would not swear to it.(3) (1) Castor's wife (2) Heavyweight contender Buddy Turman* (3) Col. L. Robert Castorr *After a fight in Dallas, he met Jack Ruby. They became friends and Turman began working off and on for him as a manager and bouncer at some of his Dallas night clubs. Turman was interviewed by the FBI soon after Ruby killed Lee Harvey Oswald in November 1963.[3] Turman shared his opinions of Ruby and what he knew of Ruby's acquaintances in the Dallas Police Department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Turman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Brancato Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I agree Castorr is an interesting character. What is known of his relationship with General Walker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Boylan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Harold Weisberg interviewed Castorr. I believe his interview can be found in the Hood College archive. Castorr '"socialized" with Walker, Robert Morris and H.L. Hunt. Edited January 20, 2016 by David Boylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis"), as in a pigeon or a dove or a sparrow, etc, in New Orleans? Or was it more likely a "typo" for Byrd? -- Tommy Also, what about "Ferrie" for "Forray" in the same document?

Thomas, I think it was a typo for Byrd. In another document in the Weisberg archives, Forray was identified as married with children, and who later went to Puerto Rico. So, now I don't think it was David Ferrie. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Knight Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Might he not have been speaking of a "bird" as in the term "full-bird colonel"?? THAT'S not an uncommon usage, at least here within 40 miles of Fort Knox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
