what happened to gary shaw?

[Peter Lemkin]

While I still sense that Ortiz is here to stir up trouble, it might be of interest to others, to whom I address this primarily. After the deaths of several of the persons involved in the research and press-conferences on Roscoe White, Gary's wife begged him to quit public research on JFK [for fear of what might happen to him]. He consented. I have no idea if he continues to research in private [I'd guess he at least keeps up on things], but has remained publicly silent. This is a sad development, IMO, for the research community. He did other very good research work which can be found withing the research community with difficulty if one has the right connections. He was very gracious and helpful to me long ago. A few years ago I contacted him directly and while he was polite, he said he was not answering my questions and was no longer active in JFK research. He was, however, polite enough and interested enough to suggest who I might contact, instead. I have it from two sources close to him [close friends] that the above is all true, and the reason for his current silence - NOT some sudden disinterest nor change in his views on the assassination. Very sad, indeed.
