pps i had a quick lookie, here are a few,for the memories, i loved when he would post such, especially the funnies to and about Jack who enjoyed all also...best b
I am touched by your presence here. I never had the pleasure of meeting your husband, but based upon what Greg and other of his friends have shared, I can say with conviction that I would have been honored by his friendship.
Thank you for for the invaluable donation to history that is, in the aggregate, your husband's work.
Like Charles, I did not have the pleaure or privilege of meeting your husband. However, it is abundantly clear that he possessed great insight, and a real talent for encouraging others to think broadly and critically.
We, the community of the Deep Politics Forum, are proud to be able to provide a home to the body of knowledge and original thought that is the DellaRosa forum archive. We also hope that, in our own fashion, we can keep alive some of the challenging spirit that infused his work and his community.
Kindest regards
Jan

This thread called my attention to a rich lode of information ready to hand for which I am very glad, very grateful.
I can see from the full range of article topics that there's much to learn there.
I immediately seized upon Craig Roberts' comparison of McVeigh and OK Bomb with Lee and the Lone Nut dogmamany points of commonality.
I had found Roberts' Kill Zone to be a unique perspective of a LEO, and am glad someone has drawn the necessary comparisonsand of course now we have (since 1995) the 911 paradox.
It is a loss that we do not have the active creator, but the trail he's left is a great gift for which I offer my thanks and pledge my attention.

I wanted to say a public thank you to those of you who periodically keep in touch with me to see how our sons and I are doing. And I want to thank the folks here at Deep Politics for keeping the JFKresearch archive as intact as they have. I know some files and things didn't make the transition well but, as a whole, they have done a remarkable job and I am grateful.
I hope no one is offended by this posting. I just wanted to acknowledge this date with so many of the people with whom he was connected.
My warm regards,
Shelby
Dearest Shelby,
You can't know how often I have thought of you and Rich, usually because of something I have read or happened to think of, triggering some long-forgotten exchange we had. Of the many. many people I have known in my lifetime, Rich and you both are the most courageous in word and deed. For Rich, with your help, to manage a Forum like his, that encouraged open discussion and critical analyses of one of the most important events in our country's history, often within the unfriendly cultural atmosphere of ignorance and stupidity, offered to us glimmers of the light and hope of truth in the overwhelming darkness. It gave us courage to think, to speak out, and to learn from each other.
For all that, and much more, thank you, Rich and Shelby.
Rich's Forum [and Rich himself] was a light in the darkness and one of the very, very few 'safe havens' for serious students and researchers. I was always amazed at how fairly he treated even the problematic and trolls. I learned much from Rich and his Forum. As I mentioned on the EF thread upon his death [but removed, as EF removed all of my posts], Rich contacted me with a heavy question on a specific JFK research issue. I answered his question and to my surprise and sadness learned he died about three weeks later. He must have sent me that question from the hospital or home while very ill. That he kept on his quest for the full answer of what happened on 11/22/63 [and related issues] until the very end, I take my hat off to him. I'm sure he's researching on the issues still. He is missed. The Forum is missed.

Thank you so much to all of you who responded. I always have this small niggling fear that my husband, and all he struggled so to accomplish, will be forgotten. You have lightened my heart for now I know that he won't be. Even if the man is, for at some point we all are, the work he did will live on.
Adele, Bernice, Greg, and the others with whom we had more personal relationships, I'm so grateful for each of you. You all helped to give him something to strive for and to keep him going.
