It Was A Great Party, D.B. Cooper
D.B. Cooper missed the party in his honor at the Ariel Tavern in Lewis County last night on the seventh anniversary of his $200,000 jump from the rear exit of a Boeing 727. Apparently. "We're not sure," said Germaine Tricola, who along with her husband Vince runs the tavern and adjoining grocery store. "I've been looking them all over in the face but, by golly, I don't know." "He and the money were supposed to have dropped in our back yard," said Vince. "But," he added, "we haven't found him yet." "We kind of expected he might show up this year," he said. "Of course, if I were him, I wouldn't have come. This is the year the statute of limitations on the skyjacking runs out." Cooper hasn't been seen or heard from since someone giving that name parachuted from the plane on Thanksgiving eve in 1971. It remains the country's only unsolved airplane hijacking. "We did have a D.B. Cooper arrive at the party," Tricola said. "He said he was 'dead on arrival.' But then the party started about noon. "At least it was already going when I got up at noon. We're having a lot of fun. The place is jammed. There must be 500 to 1,000 people in here," he said. Tricola said they had planned to serve buffalo stew but couldn't get any buffalo. Four parachutists had planned to land right in front of the tavern yesterday, but fog forced them to jump a mile away. But that didn't slow the festivities. Many people, from as far away as Cleveland and Toronto, showed up -- except, apparently, the guest of honor. Mrs. Tricola said "I think he made it. I really think he did. Because if something was to be found, it would have been found by now. I think the man that did this did it for a lark, just to see if he could do it." Anyway, her husband added, "it's a nice break in the winter and we have an awful lot of fun."
