I'm in Southern CA, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to get out to Riverside. I could try in April, but how do you think I would know if it was Ross's handwritting? Even old style of book signouts just had the person's name that signed it out, typically in the handwritting of the person that signed it out and a date stamp.

Sorry, I don't know how to size the attachment.

Awesome. Maybe you may see his name someplace, like on a card. I actually am waiting to hear back from two people on the current staff to see what help we can get,

Why wouldn't we like it?


It was from a fake 1986 letter.


The citizen card is close:

Ask the current staff if any of the books still have the old slips in them or if there are any other old documents that they would allow access to. Even if they do not have time, maybe they would set them aside for me to go through.

Well .... like it less, lets say, than if it had been from a contemporary & confirmed Zodiac communication rather than unconfirmed and 1986.

I think we should stick to confirmed Z letters

Still confused, what does this have to do with Ross?

On Ross's SS application he uses a M that is not found in the Zodiac writings.

(in the previous posts) trav jokes that it matches a letter that is considered fake and mailed after Ross had died.

I pointed out it could actually match the citizen letter M's.

Ahhhh. Sorry I completely failed to take into account that Ross was 'expired' by that point. I just thought it was interesting that it was presented as a Zodiac communication and it was the only one to have that 'm'. Completely irrelevant, to this POI discussion I now realize. I wouldn't have posted it even as a curio if I'd considered that.
