W Guy Banister

Hi Jan
It seems that noone is interested on Guy Banister and his connections.

Hi Jan
It seems that noone is interested on Guy Banister and his connections.

It's not that no ones interested many of us know much of it and after what you Jan and Jim have summed up there's no need to spoil it. The Banister link I think came from a discussion Jan and I had about Banister and the Torbitt documents. Jan to his credit has set up a non BS-Torbitt document look into Banister.

In April, 1962, both Delphine Roberts and her friends, Mr. Frederick Joseph and Mrs. Marion M. Huff were not publicity shy, quite the opposite!

The named individuals in the article below are depicted in an AP photo on the page:

April 16, 1962 The Emporia Gazette from Emporia, Kansas
......PRIEST WATCHES PICKETSAn unidentified Roman Catholic priest watches three pickets from the doorway of the rectory at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in downtown New Orleans Sunday morning. The three women, from left, are Ms. Marie Huff, Mrs. Loretta Anser and Mrs. Delphine Roberts, all of New Orleans. They were protesting the recent school-desegregation order by Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel. (AP Wiréphoto)

Chris Newton claimed he located this front and back of a news photo on Ebay. The date is less than two weeks after the article date above and Fred J. Huff is described as the man protesting with Delphine Roberts.:



On .pdf page 15 of this statement by Delphine Roberts, she says she was associated with Gut Banister since March, 1962. A month or so later she is very publicly protesting on two different days. Is it unusual for a newly employed
individual to be so openly expressive, or were these public demonstrations related to her employment or at least performed with Banister's awareness and lack of objection?
On .pdf page 18, she says she was locked out of Banister's office immediately after his death and was obtaining information about Banister's estranged wife's intentions from Mrs. Huff who informs her that Mary Banister had taken many of the files to her home. Delphine said she telephoned Mary Banister and is told by Mary that she had burned many of the files already and is going to burn more. Delphine instructs Mrs. Huff to attempt to buy the files from Mary Banister.

We know from the article dated April, 16, 1962 that Mrs. Huff's name is Marion. I believe the description in the statement I linked to of Mrs. Fred A. Huff is a transcription error.

I think we can conclude Marguerite's circa 1940 landlord was not this Fred Huff ......
