He dismissed the idea of EDWARDS possibly being D. B. COOPER, but in the last few days, he happened to take out his personal records, again found the artist conception, and took the time to compare the artist conception with the 1951 photograph he has of EDWARDS. His opinion is that there is a "remarkable resemblance" between the two even though he is aware his photograph was taken about twenty years before the event in captioned case.

He is aware of one other member of his officer candidate class, and this man is Colonel [REDACTED], U. S. Army. According to [REDACTED] who lives at [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Alexandria, [REDACTED] plans to retire from the Army in the very near future and settle in the Shreveport, Louisiana, area.
