Would Ronelle, Sam, Steve, Sue, Nancy, John, and Kurt like to have another reunion in da Bx next month? (We couldn't reach Kurt last year to arrange his participation.) My thoughts are to meet Nancy in Queens again and to drive up to the borough, where we'd be joined by Sam and John. We'd visit one or two of the historic sites connected with the case and have a nice long lunch in a (QUIET!) restaurant.

Stop trying to give me assignments. I'm not interested in ballistics, serology, or fingerprints. The focus of our warped discussion is Trendley and the handwriting evidence in the Lindbergh... more
Of course you don't want to evaluate based on true sciences. Its understandable and I don't blame you. So why not look at court testimony you like so much but this time from two experts testifying on ... more
It seems this Trendly stuff is just another sidebar that doesn't really mean anything. You all who profess an alternative to a one Kidnapper/Hauptmann solution should try to find something of... more
It is a sidebar but an important one. Handwriting experts have been disagreeing with one another ever since the term existed. If someone were to accuse you of forgery don't be surprised if the... more
