Re subject [REDACTED] re memo of SA [REDACTED] on February 21, 1973.

On March 15, 1973, [REDACTED] Renton, Washington, advised that he recalled seeing [REDACTED] approximately 20 years ago and at that [REDACTED] said he has not seen [REDACTED] since then but recalls him as resembling the composite drawing of COOPER with sunglasses which appeared in the PI shortly after the hijacking. [REDACTED] said the color composite of COOPER does not resem- ble [REDACTED] as much and the composite of COOPER without sunglasses even less resembles [REDACTED]

[REDACTED] met [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and saw him frequently until the early 1950s. [REDACTED] said [REDACTED] was a very "wild type of person" who always wore sunglasses, was [REDACTED] and very familiar with the area COOPER reportedly flew over. [REDACTED] said he never knew of any illegal activities com- mitted by [REDACTED] but remembers him as the type of person who wanted money without working for it.

[REDACTED] said he had no reason to suspect [REDACTED] other than his resemblance to COOPER'S drawing as he remembers him 20 years ago. He added that [REDACTED] mentioned seeing [REDACTED] approximately two years ago in Renton but knew nothing about [REDACTED] background, family, residence, activities, or present whereabouts. He added [REDACTED] would be about 50 years old now and as he remembered him 20 years ago, was approximately 5'10" tall, 140 pounds,

with brown hair. He could give no further description and added that he did not know [REDACTED] correct or full name.
