Hi Folks: Well I should have walked more yesterday and tried to get the spirit. Yesterday I gave my own version of the man from the plane Hijack with the loot. I said he might have gone into the Columbia River, but I have my doubts about it now. The intimation is that he got off that plane in I2 minutes. There was the plane at I2 minutes after takeoff? I came home last nite and the spirit seemed to say 7;49--This would be 12 minutes after takeoff at 737. I think he knew about the cold in the plane and knew he would have to get out of there fast. The spirit called him the 'Colonel' I think he was Canadian air force of world war II vintage. He was polite, too and that all the more intimates he could have been Canadian, because they are polite. He was doping. Spirit said he doped before he left plane. He probably was not drinking, but could have been taking amphetamine pills. Spirit seemed to say he came down in a dairy region. I think the region northeast of Fort Lewis and not far from Puyallup where they hold the fair every year, because the spirit said 'near a fair'. There was something about a dial. He either made a call before or after he went out of plane. He probably made his way to the town of Puyallup after getting on highway I6I. I don't know the plane route so I am guessing at this, but I believe the area south of the airport -Taco a-Seattle- about I2 minutes out is hot. Pierce, County. Between Highway 7 and Highway I6I between Puyallup and Fredsrickson, possible too as far south as Loveland, or Graham.

Sincerely, ( Only trying to help)

P. 3. The last couple of days the spirit said something about a college and I kind of passed the idea by because I did'it know where the college was. I had this letter sealed and re-opened it because right at the last moment I noticed on the map right near Eatonville and La Grande, Washington there is a college called U. of Wash college of Forestry and it is on highway I6I. Maybe this will help- maybe this is it. He could have gone down near here someplace or on a paralell with it in line with flight of plane. then he could have gone into the fair town of puyallup.
I think I have really hit on it now. He went down near the college which is not too far from the fair-Puyallup. I consider this a real good lead.
