[redacted] suspicions were further heightened while at lunch with [redacted] on January 6, 1972, at the Black Angus Restaurant in Bellevue. [redacted] initiated a discussion of high altitude flying. [redacted] seemed to be very well known by the waitresses in the Black Angus Restaurant [guess: in Bellevue and] again believed this to be out of character for [redacted] financial condition to frequent an expensive restaurant such as the Black Angus.
