Continuation of a physical description of an individual: 6'2", 199 lbs, brown kinky curly medium-long hair, brown eyes, thick eyeglasses, full beard, dark complexion. An interviewee was initially upset but cooperated. He recalled sharing a room in Mansfield, Ohio with an individual from Akron, Ohio whose name he could not remember. He emphatically denied information furnished by this other person. He stated he offered to share his room after meeting the individual at the track. Later, he and a friend went out for drinks; upon returning, the individual was still awake watching television. A wide-ranging discussion ensued covering radar and the skyjacking, though the interviewee could not recall what triggered the conversation. FBI Vault page reference stamp.
