Robert Vinson

[Peter Lemkin]

When I was reading this particular passage a couple of years ago it so reminded me of Tosh's story. So I sent en email to both Tosh and Peter L. asking them if there was a connection, their opinion etc. Neither replied.

Dawn, I remember discussing it some and mentioning I had asked Tosh's take. I really thought I had provided mine to you...if not here goes the 'short verion' [the long version may be part of a book sometime]......

There are three stories of a flight OUT of Dallas, taking mechanics or players. All three differ and all three have overlapping portions. All three indicate CIA plane and all mention the exact same type of plane. The three stories, I won't detail, but can be found easily. They are:

1 - The 'Vinson' story landing near the river just after the big events, and taking away an Oswald look-alike or an Oswald...and silence being induced afterwards.
2 - The Tosh Plumlee story of a flight in the morning of at Garland [north of Dallas], offloading a wood crate on-loaded in New Orleans and several operatives, including one that resembled TUM and one that was Col. Roselli of the Mafia and CIA. The plane then moved to RedBird [in Oak Cliff] and left after waiting for what some on board thought was an Oswald who never came. It was also supposed to meet up maybe with Ferrie, but didn't. It went back to Florida from whence it had come. Silence was imposed on Tosh via Prison in Colorado. I've left out portions of each of the above and the third to follow.
3 -The story as told by Wayne January to Matt Smith in his books, for example starting on p. 137 on in Conspiracy. Many, many parts of this version coincide nearly with Tosh's. Some parts do not and in this version Tosh seems absent. January was so frightened by being told in the morning the events about to unfold at noon, he kept his mouth shut for fear of death or harm for decades. However, Tosh mentioned to me the name Wayne January well before Smith ever contacted him or anyone. Thus Tosh either really was there and interacting with January or had been told the details by someone who had been......at the moment Tosh is not working to reconcile these three accounts. He complains that asking him is tantamount to telling him what he did and remembers...which it is not.

I could go on for several hundred pages on this whole part of the saga. To summarize, I think [at this point] all three are speaking about the same event - like the blind men and the elephant. Some disinformation might to must be involved - for while there is overlap; each has mutually exclusive events that don't allow details of the other. I'm most convinced by 3 - January's account, but think that EACH has some nuggets to offer or ponder. Now, could there have been more than one flight? Yes. If anyone has specific questions or wants to get 'into' this Gordian Knot, I'll try my best....
