We'll go back in time today, and we're going to jump back to the David Ferry file. I started this like two or three years ago, and I didn't get very far.

And Ferry is the most important person in as far as the research goes in the Kennedy assassination.

It's the easiest person to prove was in Dallas and was one of the shooters on the knoll.

And so, yeah, let's hop right back into it.

This is the beginning of File 1, Section 2.

This collection of documents is kind of a mix of FBI and Garrison files.

I don't think Garrison compiled this one.

This one's 400-something pages.

He told me hello and asked me what I was doing with Ivan Ivan and I explained to him that I was an assistant

He told us to go on upstairs and that he would follow us, but that it would take him some time to

climb up the stairs as he was sick and weak and that he had not been able to keep anything in

his stomach for a couple days. He moaned and groaned with each step he took from the stairs from the bottom of the top.

This behavior by Ferry impressed me as phony act, and I'm sure he was not as sick as he pretended to be.
