"What Happened to JFK--and Why it Matters Today"

[Dawn Meredith]

In another slide from my Duluth presentation, I expressed
my opinion about Chauncey.

Jack

I guess Chauncey's eagerness to convince people that he was the old tramp is a red flag for me. I tend to believe the opposite of what spooks say.

Thanks, Myra. Give us your opinion of this.

Jack

I'm torn Jack because both Holt and Hunt so closely resemble the old tramp. Plus I have a high opinion of Lois Gibson's skills and she goes with Holt.

But I'm strongly leaning towards Hunt for a number of reasons. He does look more like the old tramp than Holt, who has a slightly more masculine less droopy face. Hunt's chin is a better match. Hunt favored disguises and the old tramp is really the only one wearing a disguise. And of course he liked hats and is the only one in a hat. Also didn't Mark Lane convince a jury that Hunt was in Dallas 11/21/63--the day before the assassination? A jury places him near the scene of the crime. Furthermore, since Hunt was involved in Watergate and since Watergate likely had a Dallas cover-up component, there's a link there albeit a tenuous one.

I agree with Myra and Jack. Having gone round and round with this for years I have come back to my initial conclusion from the 70's: that the old tramp is Hunt. I agree that Holt's story is charming and Ms. Gibson is very convincing. Her skills are undisputed. But just looking at the photos with no training, it is Hunt to my eye. That would also explain Nixon's constant reference to Hunt and the "whole Bay of Pigs" fear he had. The first time I read that quote I thought "Kennedy assassination", many years before Haldamen would write in The Ends of Power that to Nixon Bay of Pigs was a reference to 11/22/63. Hunt figures into all of the above.

After Dorothy was knocked off 12/8/72 I always thought it would be Hunt who would some day talk. To some limited degree. What do people think of his deathbed "confession" to his son Saitn John?
