Jimmy Ferrell, son of Mary passes.

[Peter Lemkin]

I had some contacts with Mary in the early stages of my research work. She duly noted [as was her job IMHO] what my focuses were and which persons I was interested in. However, once I started working intensively with Plumlee she wouldn't allow me to enter her house. What that says about Plumlee I've never quite figured out to this day. At that time she also stopped supplying me with documents as she had prior. She was a gatekeeper and central repository of who was looking at and researching what. Who would suspect that that folksy 'helpful' old woman with the unkempt room full of JFK books and manuscripts/photos/etc. would be a CIA asset and actor. Actually, my suspicions were raised on this rather early, and I became quite sure of it not long after. There were always rumors about her role......and I believe they were true. Word of her role in the Garrison investigation and helping in derailing it is only icing on the cake. Wasn't Penn Jones suspicious of her role? I know Jim Marrs was from way back. Even some that knew she was intelligence, still used her for getting contacts with hard to reach witnesses or hard to get documents or photos. We all got our hands soiled from being near intelligence assets 'working' on the case - there were quite a few of them. I also was befouled by Russo, who really did damage to something I was working on.
