Trav, I hate to be a pain, any way you can put all of Ross's letters on one line, and all of Z's on another side by side or over each other, as opposed to being all intermingled? I think my eyes are failing LOL, I need all the help I can get

Perhaps Allen?


I tried 2 different phone numbers for him, neither was in svc. I also have a tentative mailing address for him, but it's pretty outdated. I also sent him a message on Ancestry.com as he is a member there, but he has not logged in for a year so who knows if he will get it.

Thanks Trav, and as you said, that S is quite impressive. If you really want to be impressed, turn your laptop sideways and view the letter comparison sideways, it looks even more like a match. I must try to get more writing, somehow.

This is too small -but here is an "m" from the bus bomb letter.
Its from the word "time" in the sentence "...when I do my thing, the rest of the time…"

Anybody here in southern CA? I am wondering if somebody may be able to go into the RCC Library and look thru old books, maybe find some signs of who checked them out, or if they have any handwritten notes in back of them like where the checkout card would be. I know Ross worked in the library, not sure what he did, but I seem to recall he did something with the checkout process, maybe his writing is floating around there??
