Trav: As a quick remark to your quick reply, I'd say that Morrill's verdict: Z's writing/printing is natural, is worth discussing further - and I don't think we've nearly exhausted that subject.

But it's not for this thread.

Painful thread to read....game of telephone through the looking glass.

Whatever happened to this guy referenced here, whom Ross tried to kill with knife and later visited him in mental hospital to find him 'banging on a piano?' 'Singing Beatles songs' etc.?

His only window with Ross is three weeks in 1970? Caught him eating butter? Remember this stuff, don't lose this.

If that yearbook handwriting matches, this guy becomes gold....

Thoughts on mental faculties, something debated throughout thread with many other painful off topic riffs:

Could he lift a fork and eat? Was he ever locked at Napa State? Criminally insane?

While he himself may have thought he was, in 1966....it did not and would not 'stop the game...'

Info I see says different, 'outpatient capable' individual who was given institutional haircuts and read newspapers. Knew engines, was one time ham radio op enthusiast, actor, cryptology student, mechanical writing talent who liked blue felt pens and Barracuta jackets.

Who rented his room out when he went away for inpatient stays, and did his 'weekend kill rampages' match time during those times...

Hot wiring an American car in that era was very easy, he would not have to own one....had a guy we followed on America's Most Wanted go for a year upstate NY before he was caught, car to car to car. The problem is ditching car not getting one. Ditching then blending back into normalcy.

His driver records are obtainable, as are his hospital records, but that brother who 'doesn't know anything about any of this' would be one to get those....

Skyward, have you mistaken this forum for a creative writing forum? Where are you coming up with this stuff?
