  1. Okay. So whatcha got? What's the significance of Duane being part of Stan's family somehow?
  2. Where does Geoffrey "note" this? At the Tacoma Symposium, Geoffrey said the exact opposite, if my memory serves me correctly. Then, he said that Tina was verbally unresponsive to Al Lee, appearing to be in shock. However, both Jack Almstad and Bill Mitchell told me they remember Tina coming on board with the chutes and money and never thought that anything was amiss. We also don't know what Lee said to Tina. Perhaps he was acting like a cowboy and wanted Tina to take a gun and shoot DBC. Hmm. From Gray's book: Let me get this straight. I said all those things about the stews, and the only thing you comment on is a small quote on Tina? Well, that's okay I suppose. Got it from Skyjack. Note italicized parts. You are correct. Page 68. Thank you.

  4. When did Hancock say this? To whom? Can we corroborate? I know of no instance when Alice Hancock reviewed a pix of Kenny C. Please inform. Thank you.
  5. Have you dropped the boom on these doctors, yet? C'mon Jo, what the hell are you waiting for? Hundreds of seniors are going die if you don't take action!!! Quit bitching on the DZ and do something REAL.
  6. Rag Head has been explained before? Really? I must have missed it. Maybe I was on vacation, either from the DZ or in NY with my mommy. From my journalistic sources, they tell me that Rag Head is a pejorative term for Iraqis, especially insurgents during the 2003-2009 period. Then it switched over to the more common moniker, Hajis. Perhaps you're going to say I have a swarthy complexion and look faintly Jewish or Arabic and that I should be investigated for the 9-11 attacks, after the authorities wrap up their investigation of whether I whacked Cossey or not. Are you Anti-Semitic, Jo? Just askin'.
  7. Thank Gawd I have Medicare, if I do! And Thank You Mr. and Mrs. American Taxpayer!!! God Bless you, and please keep paying your taxes...
  8. Greetings Everyone! I just received an interesting question from a college student named Kyle doing a paper on DB Cooper. He asked me for my opinion on what are some of the mosts bizarre theories or aspects of the case. Whew! I gave him a few, but I'd love to hear yours!!! Uncle Brucie's Bizarro Moments: 1. Barb Dayton reverting to her male persona to do the heist. 2. FBI called LD Cooper their "most promising" suspect even though they have no corroborating evidence. 3. Kenny continuing to serve drinks in 1st class on the way to Tokyo for another 25 years after the skyjacking.
  9. Jo, when you were married to Jim, did you use his last name? If so, how come you've reverted to using Duane's surname? Just askin.'
  10. Can anyone tell me exactly where Victor 23 is? I understand it is an aerial flight corridor eight miles wide, but in the jump zone what are the boundaries? As for the flight path, for Cooper to have landed in the Ariel area he must have jumped a few miles south and west to account for his drift back north and east in the winds. If Cooper landed in the Ariel-Amboy area that means he jumped south of Woodland and pretty close to the I-5. No?
  11. Let me get this straight, Bobby. You have a one-hundred page report on Kenny, and you can't tell me where his $300,000 stamp collection is? C'mon. Who's gonna believe that!
  12. Don't give up on the money so fast, Bobby. You could serialize the whole story. You could do a whole line of books: "Serving Drinks in First Class all the Way to Tokyo - My Life After Being DB Cooper." "Making Amends for the Skyjacking - My Life Saving Runaway Boys" "Hobbies of the Homosexual Lifestyle - My Life as a Gay Stamp Collector" "Skydiving in Loafers - A Guide to Parachuting in the Pacific Northwest"
  13. Bobby, all I need is a little refresher. Kenny spent 20K on the house, gave 5K to Bernie's sister, and took the boys to dinner and bought them chatchkes. But else did he do with the moolah? Did he give any to Bernie? If so, how come Bernie didn't give his sister any dough? Did he buy the house with twenties? Did he launder it? Or did he just buy a lot of stamps? Do you know who has the stamps now? I'd love to see them. Or should I just ask Lyle? Could be a cool angle on your follow-up book: DB Cooper's Stamp Collection - The True Story.
  14. Jo, what was Duane ascaird of, again? I forget. Thanks.
  15. You ever wonder why Tina never got an unlisted phone number? Or why she is still in the phone book? And keeps her name? I guess she ain't ascaird. But she is cranky. And triggered by certain words, as you have alluded. I have experienced her switching instantaneously into an icy rage when she hears: "DB Cooper, Flight 305," or "that night."
  16. So, what really happened? You've never told us, Jo. All you ever said was that Duane did it. So, how did he do it? How did he get away? Did he have any help?
  17. Ole rag head? Me? I'm not sure what it means, but I think it's better than being called "Fat Boy," or "Stinky." I'm not ascaird of telling Tina that I'm "ascaird of knocking on her door," but I am ascaird that Bobby might think I'm harassing witnesses again. Gawd knows that I don't want to do that ever, ever again!!!
  18. Seahawks are 1-2 in Super Bowls now. That's not as good as losing half. You are right again, Bucky!
  19. Tough loss. Congratulations to New England. Now I know how they feel losing half of their Super Bowls.
  20. I was a newbie once. Now look at me - Cooper royalty!
  21. Let me help, Thou-Thingy: (First, I would shoot me in the head if the quote & my reply do not show separately this time ... it gets too confusing without it ...even for me) Anyways honestly your conviction on KC kinda makes me both wonder and nervous. I am also a non believer that KC could be Cooper, however you have researched the subject and I am curious to read the reasons why you place him so high. Besides here are my reasons for why I do not believe it was KC: 1. Maybe I am placing too much importance on FBI, which obviously has taken the "my way or highway" approach by declaring and insisting that Cooper died in the jump (despite McCoy & several others surviving similar feats) than humbly accepting that "this one we just couldn't crack". So as far as credibility goes may be I shouldn't place so much on them however like you said they are the "entity" in the matter and thus they do matter. Anyways, to solve this is not a choice to FBI (or at least so I hope), if KC were to be Cooper, why would one has to go to the lengths which you already have and more, to prove such to FBI? 2. Wouldn't Florence, Tina, Mitchell or someone would've recognized him? Someone stated on shutter's that your book says that Tina & KC flew together (I have questions around that too however I have not read your book yet so I rather keep mum till then), wouldn't she had figured out? 3. Lastly (and this one is purely inspired by watching too much Bourne series), with not even a whisker on his face, Cooper should be a man of immense confidence and knew he could blend in. In the sense, he wasn't just pulling it off. An NWA employee, current, previous, ever ... exactly how he solved the equation of going unnoticed? or Worse running into them? I think this may also be coming from the FBI statement "if you are planning to go back to work on Monday ..." Get real, one can't! By disposition doesn't he seem like someone from intelligence / spy kinda background? Someone who got trained by system and then played it ...
  22. Half of the FBI office in Salt Lake City agrees with you, Mega-Man. However, it is not quite obvious to me. Care to spell out the details?
  23. Yo, Thou-Thingy, are you still interested in my sex life? Just askin'.
  24. Tough to call from where I sit. The Pats and Hawks are playing great football. I remember the last time the Pats looked unstoppable and they were undefeated. The played the Giants in the Super Bowl and the front D line just tore through the Pats O line. Brady was on his ass all day. Then the next was the game were the Giants won just at the end with a minute left, and Eli was shouting for his fullback Bradshaw(?) NOT to score so they could run another play and run down the clock so Brady wouldn't get 'em close enough to kick a FG and win by a point or two. I think Seattle will win because their D is so good. And Russ and Da Beast will score enough to get the job done. I saw the Pats play a few times this season on TV and they looked awesome. Sure hope the Hawks come out strong, unlike how they did against Green Bay in the first half.
