[REDACTED] who was born [REDACTED] Leesburg, Virginia. During November, 1961, he filed for bankruptcy claim- ing indebtedness of $12,000. He was in serious financial straits and according to FAA [REDACTED] [REDACTED] was scheduled for a [REDACTED] to Los Angeles 11/24/71, on American Airlines Flight 77 leaving Dulles Airport at 9:00 a.m. FAA time and attendance records show a discrepancy for this period. However, it can be determined that [REDACTED] was off duty from noon 11/23 through 11/28, 1971. Records would indicate he did not fly to Los Angeles until 11/25/71, on the same 9:00 a.m. American flight, however, [REDACTED] points out these records would not be conclusive proof [REDACTED] actually made the flight on that date. It is known according to FAA that he spent the weekend of the 26th in Las Vegas. According to [REDACTED] apparently has resolved all of his financial difficulty.
