I grew to trust Prouty after a rather long dealing with him - what was started by the photographer Richard Sprague, as I recall.
Prouty was very slow to come forward about much of anything because he knew not to trust anyone without long testing first - what explained why there was not that much communication over a long period of time.
Once Tom Valentine published my three part series on the Dallas conspiracy in 1978, Prouty, as I recall - at least someone did - said that it was a good piece of work. The only problem, he said, was that I "...had not aimed high enough" about the real leaders of the conspiracy - what got me much more interested in going after Helms, Harvey, Angleton, Scott, Goss and others.
Before that I had been too interested in people like Hunt, the tramps, etc., thanks to Sprague's photographs, though he wasn't interested in the Jim Altgens' one, leading us to go our separate ways.
I know that the letters from Prouty are somewhere in this office, as I noticed them when cleaning up here awhile ago, and shall add or deny what I have just said when I hopefully find them.
