On 9/4/73, THOMAS J. WRIGHT, JR., 2270 North Belsay Road, Flint, Michigan, advised that DONALD GORDON WRIGHT is his son. He advised that he is employed as plant manager for the Fab-Tec Company in Germany. He advised that his son has been employed in the capacity for several years.
He indicated that his son has returned to the United States on occasion and could have been in the United States in 1971, but he does not remember the exact times when his son had visited him. To his knowledge, whenever his son was in the United States he was either at the office of Fab-Tec in Detroit, Michigan, or at his home on Belsay Road.
He advised that his son has never been in any difficulty in the past nor has he ever been in the need of money, in view of his position in the Fab-Tec Company. He further advised that his son is single and appears to be solely dedicated to his job as manager for Fab-Tec.
He advised his son had served in the United States Navy; however, to his knowledge has no experience in parachuting or combat training as his son was involved in engineering work with the navy.
