Dear Sirs:
I have been kindled to public interests from reading the apathy riddled Watergate case in your recent issues of Time, espe- cially your Sherlock Holmes story (Jan. 28)
Therefore I decided to mention an episode that transpired about 4 months ago. (Now, without detail as its relative importance may have already caused the nearest trash can to wonder of its latest acquisition.)
I believe I saw D.B. Cooper, the Northwest Airline sky- jacker in San Jose, Costa Rica. I further believe he recognized my startled recognition of him, possibly as I am from Bellevue, Washington - the only known association of his training as a sky jumper. Possibly again this led to his departure from here long ago.
Stirred from my apathy of "foreign affairs" and folk heroism that D.B. Cooper commands in the Northwest I respect[fully] submit this tardy but sincere letter.
