On March 15, 1973, [REDACTED] Renton, Washington, advised that he recalled b6 seeing [REDACTED] approximately 20 years ago and at that b7C [REDACTED] b7D 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 [REDACTED] was a very "wild type of b7D 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.

Reference line citing a prior memo from SA (redacted) dated February 21, 1973, regarding a redacted subject. An individual in Renton, WA was interviewed on March 15, 1973.

He noted the color composite was less of a match and the composite without sunglasses even less so. The interviewee described knowing a person named EUGENE whom he saw frequently until the early 1950s.

No known illegal activities. The interviewee stated his only reason for suspicion was the resemblance to Cooper's drawing. He noted someone else had seen EUGENE approximately two years ago in Renton.
