Re: [REDACTED]

On 1/4/78, [REDACTED]--Northwest Orient [REDACTED] San Francisco International Airport (SFIA), advised that at about 5:10 PM on that date he had been approached by an individual requesting purchase of a ticket to Los Angeles. This individual discussed the price of such a ticket and compared it with prices of other airline tickets to Los Angeles commenting about the fact that Northwest Orient had not planned to raise their prices until the next week. This information was not known to [REDACTED] and he thought it odd that a passenger would have this information. The passenger finally bought a $17 standby ticket. He furnished his name as [REDACTED] and when asked for a first name replied, [REDACTED] He paid his fare with a $20 bill and began to give [REDACTED] further change from his pocket. [REDACTED] gave him his $3.00 change while [REDACTED] continued looking through his pockets. Conversation by [REDACTED] during the purchase of this ticket revealed that he had been out of the country a couple of years, possibly in Hawaii, and [REDACTED] received the impression that [REDACTED] might be a merchant marine.
