Jack,
This is most interesting. Chauncey told me he had been instructed to meet with Charles Harrleson, whom he already knew, and Richard Montoya, whom he did not. I have always presumed that "Frenchie", whom I take to be Charles Rogers, and "Richard Montoya" were one and the same person. I have certainly always been talking about "Frenchie" in referring to Montoya, so I am learning something if there was another person than Charles Rogers who not only went by the name of "Richard Montoya" but was separate from Charles Rogers. Some of Bernice's photos of "Richard Montoya" do not look like "Frenchie" to me. So I think some ambiguity has entered my discussion simply because I was unaware of the existence of a separate Richard Montoya. I would be glad to see more comparsions. I have always assumed -- correctly, I take it -- that Chauncey was talking about the first of the three "tramps" photographed in Dealey Plaza.
Thanks.
Jim
