Praise from a Future Generation: Another e-book

[Greg Burnham]

Wow. No definitely not TMI.
Much food for thought here.
First, it is fine to say J's name now. Only when he was alive did he demand that total privacy. Jay (Harrison) was very aware that Mary was a fraud. He spend the last several months of his life in 05 trying to get this info out there. At least that is how I saw it during my visits to his home. I don't know how Walt (Brown) has dealt with this, if at all.

Tom Bethel did show up at Mary's home, according to her son Jimmy, and pretended to be doing a story on NO jazz. Later he admitted to the Ferrells that he was "working for" Clay Shaw. So no way JG sent him. (Wonder why he would admit this.) As far as finding JG "charming" that sounds like a sugar coated front to me. JImmy told me she sent him to NO when he was fifteen to be a spy in Garrison's office. (He remains plagued by this).
Did your interviews with her occur before or after talking with J? I am assuming it was her son Jimmy to whom she was referring , her other son had been killed.
In spite of the negative views of HL's book, I think his section on MF is fantastic. It covers who she truly was. The stuff about taking people's pic and side views, like mug shots has been verified by her son Jimmy, to me at many meetings in the late 90's and early 2000's when he was visiting J with a mutual friend and researcher Rachel Rendish.

The critical community has been conned by many a good agent, but there was none better than was Mary. I began to be suspicious of her after a very strange phone conversation in 1990. Around the Roscoe White story. She seemed utterly disingenious. Later would I learn bits and pieces of just how badly so.

Saint Mary being revealed, at last.

Hi Dawn,

J also expressed to me those same sentiments regarding Mary. Rarely, if ever, did I witness that level of acrimony in J toward anyone or any topic. To say he found her repugnant would be a gross understatement.
