This was fun. I thought I might be the only one there given that it was a cold, windy, stormy night, but it was packed, standing room only and I was in the very back but had a pretty good view of the photographs. Jim Davidson went over some of the various books that had been written and each of their theories. He was definitely of the mindset that Lindbergh was responsible and that eugenics was his motivation and that Beneath the Winter Sycamores is the book that had the most reasonable theory with the least holes. I never realized that Harold Olsen's story was such a compelling one, not that I believe that he was CJR but it certainly seems he had reason to believe that he was.

I saw JD speak with Mark in Flemington when their book first came out. He is a great Speaker and they gave an awesome presentation. There's no doubt HRO truly believed in his claim, and prior to his death was a Poster on the Discussion Boards. He even sent me a couple of things... A major part of his personal collection was donated to the NJSP Archives and having gone through it numerous times I can testify that he spent a huge amount of money trying to prove his position.
