WILLIAM CHARLES NYE, Route 2, Box 1185, Roseburg, Oregon, telephone 673-1825, was contacted at Burness, 1735 N.E. Diamond Lake Boulevard, where he is employed as a car salesman. Mr. NYE was advised of the identities of the interviewing agents and purpose of the interview prior to his furnishing the following information:
NYE was previously employed by Northwest Orient Airlines, as a jet mechanic, at Minneapolis, Minnesota, from 1966 through 1972, however, during the month of June, 1971, he suffered a back injury and went to a hospital and received surgical treatment during October, 1971, at St. John's Hospital, in Red Wing, Minnesota. He believes that during November, 1971, he was either hospitalized or convalescing at his home, which was located at Route 1, Box 123A, Cannon Falls, Minnesota. He stated he was in and out of the hospital on several occasions and never did go back to work for Northwest Orient after the back surgery.
Mr. NYE stated that he moved to Roseburg, Oregon, in June, 1977, and because he could not perform mechanics work, he took a job as a car salesman with Burness Oldsmobile, his present position.
