>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continuedFACE OFF WITH THE MAN WHO STOLE THE WORLD
As I recall, after the weird scene on the telephone to my sister
Ann turned the cold shoulder on me before the line went dead,
I then decided that I was going to make another phone call from
that very same bank of phones then owned and operated by General
Telephone, (now Verizon), and so I think I may have got some more
change, presumably from the Western Airlines ticket counter and then
went to another phone therein the bank of payphones which formed
a kind of island, therein the middle of the Western Airlines boarding
area.Unlike the first phone that I used during the abruptly terminated
phone call to my half-assed, snitch of a half-sister Ann, which was
a single lone payphone installed at one end of the bank of a dozen
or so GTE payphones, this payphone was on one side, one in a row
of 5 or 6 payphones, at which time time I put the money, about a
buck and a half or so, dialed up th number and the long distance
phone line to Ann's place in Covina went dead.I made this call to the same phone number because I was really
going to put her feet in the fire on this one and give her hell
for blowing off and pretending she couldn't hear me prior to the
phone line going going dead, compliments of GTE (now Verizon).When the GTE phone that I had just dumped a half dozen or so
quarters into wouldn't give me change back, after the phone line
was once again disconected I got really pissed off, and called the
robotic like GTE phone operator and demanded that she give, use her
control thta opertors use to return one's change, as was often the
case in those days with payphones.After the phone opertor said that she could not return my change
I think I told her my feelings about the GTE telephone service and
then hung up the phone. At that precise moment I had a rather strong
intuition, or psychic flash, or swhatever one might call it, but
I could somehow sense that there was somebody there on the other
side of th GTE phone bank who knew something about this sudden rash
of long distance phone blackouts I was then experiencing just at
that moment.It was one of th most damnest experiences for me in my
like, it was like my rain had some kind radar or tractor beam that
was focusing in on this individual on the other side of the phone
bank, like electricty. I then decided, or rahter should I say felt
compelled to take a peek around the corner of the phone bank to see
who or possibly what it was that made my instincts react in such
a curious fashion.As I walked around the corner I was suddenly confronted by a
man not much taller than myself, who had what I would to say was
one of the most intensely furious expressions I had ever seen on
a man's face, he looked positively livid a somewhat pink and red
in th face as this guy stared at me with looks that wished looks
could kill.When I saw this face it was like looking at the devil himself
for a moment or two, at which time I could feel the blood suddenly
leave my face, it must have turned a few lighter shades of pale,
as if my heart had sunk as well, I was for a moment terrified of
this face at which time th man's facial experession went from intense
anger and apparent frustration to a radically different facial
expression of truimphant glee and delight therein an evil and
psychotic sort of way, whereas this guy thought he now had me
buffallowed for sure, judging by what must have been the rather
intense look of terror on my face and th fear in my eye.After those few seconds as we both stood there in speechless
silence, therein the Western Airlines boarding that night of March
30, 1979 surrounded by heavily armed serious men both good and evil,
I then managed to muster up a little of my inner resources and gave
this guy a look.
*****************************
Overlap text ABOVE from "1979--J4"The gentleman who I was having a bit of a face-to-face showdown
with, was I think the man calling the shots, or in this case the
decision not to fire shots therein the Western Airlines boarding
area of Portland Intenational Airport on March 30, 1979.The I saw looked to be about 5'-7" tall or so, looked to be
an American of northern European descent, with what looked like from
my angle to have been very sparse amounts of hair on top, an had
a fair complexion, and what I would say looked to be a rather
intelligent and ruthlessly cunning face which I had to somehow admire,
kind of like when Sherlock Holmes met the fiendishly evil Proffessor
Moriarity.I now seem to recall that the man looked to be in his fifties,
of an average build for a man his age, and may have been wearing
some wire rimmed glasses, though I'm not certain on this point,
however this fellow did have an aire of authority and confidence
about him that strongly suggested he was the kind of person who as
used to commanding men and handling them very well in tricky an
delicate situations such as the one we were both thrust into together
at that precise moment, this dude was connected, at least in my
assessment of the gent at that time.
After the Holmes-Moriarity like face-off I then returned to
where Kendra was standing thereoff to one side of and on the perifery
of the Western Airlines boarding, near what I vaguely recal may
been a column or something like it at which time, fealing up the
game and now more sporting than ever I stood next to Kendra who
was facing the bank of payphones, pulled her close to me and then
said in her ear in low voice behind her full 1970's Hippie-Afro like
hair:"Let's see if your father's phone works."
After that I immediately took Kendra by the arm and then escorted
her out of the Western Airlines boarding area, walked down the long
corridor fo the airport terminal and Kendra, as per my directions
then drove me directly over to her father's house which was only
a few miles away from Portland International Airport.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continued
I had been to Kendra's father's place few times before in recent
months, which I vaguely recall was most likely located in the
Southeast section of Portland somewhere on southeast 49th or possibly
48th Avenue, there between Division St. and Powell Blvd. to the south,
which is as near as I can tell after all these 20 plus years./////////////////
Research Note:
This place should not be to hard to verify the locationAs I recall Kendra and I left the airport therein Kendra's VW
Bug, and as I sat next to her in the front passenger smoking a
cigarette, I kept an eye peeled for any kind trouble imaginable ahead,
and I repeatedly looked back to see if any cars were following us
from Portland International as we both headed south down NE 82nd
Avenue during those first few minutes after we left.When Kendra turned off 82nd Ave. I recall that I greatly relieved
to be off of such a well travelled highway, and Kendra then took
I what I beleive was most likely took NE Glisan Ave. going west
to NE 50th Ave. and proceeded south thereon 50th into the Southeast
section of Portland, near Division St. going west and from there
to 49th or possibly 48th and as we drove south I recall the stands
of tall trees along what must have been th east side of the road
which continured until we reached Kenda's father's house.
Kendra's father's place was a small one story, woodframe house,
situated thereon a rather large lot about one third, to one half
acre, or possibly more in size, not knowing the precise boundaries
and all, and had a long unpaved driveway, about 120 or so feet long
going west to the small house. The driveway was all covered with
gravel, and due to the constantly rainy weather of Portland, had
quite a few chuckholes and dips in it which acted like speed bumps
as Kendra drove her "Bug" towards her father's house therein near
pitch like darkness, at about 7:00pm on March 30, 1979.
On the way over I told Kendra that I was going to telk her father
Ken just what I had told everyone else, except for Kendra and the
U.S. Secret Service whereas most any plausible lie is more believable
than than an implausible and highly unlikely sounding truth.The cover story being in this case that my mother had just
suddenly become gravely ill and was hospitalized thereas the result
whereby it became immediatley imperative that fly home to Los Angeles
County and see her during this family crisis.Kendra then parked the little VW Bug up close to the little
wood frame house, and we both walked up to the front door and Kendra
rang the doorbell, whereby her father Ken answered the door a bit
surprised and let us both inside his home.Kendra's father seemed to in his usual reserved, but congenial
self, and had a kind laid back demeanor pretty typical for many a
blue collar type and construction worker, I had known over the years.
Kendra's father was a plumber by trade, a pretty well paid one by
his account.I then gave Kendra's father the bulshit cover story regarding
the the bogus family emergency, that being my mother had just become
seriously ill and was taken to a hospital at which time Kendra's
father expressed his sympathies and hopes for her speedy recovery,
whereby I graciously accepted his condolences and kind words, at
which time Kendra then interjected and asked her father if I might
be permitted to use his phone to call a friend back home, who I could
then ask to pick me up from Los Angeles International Airport upon
my arrival there later that night and then drive me to my family.Kendra's father reacted as most anyone would have in his
situation, after all I was at the time living with his daughter a
her fiance'and this was after all a family emergency, so he handed
me the phone right there in the livingroom of the small woodframe
and I started dailing away on the phone.Whereas there was something pretty fishy about the way my sister
Ann had suuddenly pretended that the phone line was dead when I called
her up from the airport, some seconds before thta line actually did
go dead, and as I knew there was another separate phome line at the
home in my old neighborhood where Ann lived, I decided that I was
going call on someone who in the past was a rock solid friend and
someone that I knew I could count on, this was a surfer friend of
mine named John, who also lived in the old neighborhood.I started talking to John and telling him that my Western
Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles International
was due to arrive there at sometime around 10: 30 or 11:00 that
night.During the long distance phone call to John, I then flashed
back how only some minutes earlier, I had been given the brush-off
by my sister Ann and how disheartened I was in a sense, followed
by GTE's long distance telephone call "Black Out" thereat the Western
Airlines terminal area of Portland International Airport, what
with all the Feds, Mob, on one side and the U.S. Secret and their
alllies on the other, and all that artillery they were all packing.When I heard John's voice, and excitement and delight that I
was comimg home, it was one of, if not he most beautiful sound I
had ever heard in my life, whereby I must have realled the old saying;
"Family your born with, friend you make."During my phone call to my friend back home in the old Covina
neighborhood, I wanted to tell him a bit about the "Showdown" scene
back thereat Western Airlines boarding area, and possibly a few other
things as well such as;
"Watch your back brother once you get to LAX."
however I then felt rather inhibited and pressed into silence by
what I then saw in the room.What I saw in the room that so chilled my speech was the rather
peculiar manner in which both Kendra and her father were both standing
there literally transfixed by every word I said as I spoke into
the phone receiver, whereas both Kendra and her father were both
standing only a few feet away from me, watching me instensely, and
were literally hanging on to every word I spoke, that was only broken
Kendra an her father exchanged a number of quick and furtive and
fearfull glances between each other.This latest revelation of Kendra and her father tripping out
on me as I used the phone, was really too much, after having just
went through that viciously bizarre and Kafkaesque like ordeal back
at the Western Airlines terminal at Portland International.As the result of all this unwarranted attention in the form
of both Kendar and her dad breathing down my neck as I made that
long distance call from Portland to my friend John in Covina, I
decided to skip saying anything else about what was going on, whereby
it was agreed that when my flight got into Los Angeles International
Airport I was to telephone John, and he would drive over and pick
me up from LAX and put me up for a night at his place in Covina.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continued
After the long distance phone call I then hung up the telephone
receiver, and thanked Kendra's dad for letting me barge in unanounced
and permitting me to place the long distance call, and then Kendra's
dad walked to the front door, when I noticed a big
quart sized bottle Seagram's V.O. Whisky thereon a counter on the
way out, at which time I then told Kendra's father that right then
I could sure use a drink, whereby Kendra's dad Ken broke out a double
shot sized shot glass full fo V.O. which I tossed right down without
a chaser, afterwhich time Ken walked us both right out on the porch
and we both got into Kendra's VW, and she started th car right up.As Kendra's dad left the porch and went back inside the front
Kendra had backed her VW Bug up so that her car was at a mostly
perpendicar to the length of the driveway and sonmewaht askew so
that both Kendra and I could both vaguely makeout the sillohettes
of the trees at the end of the driveway running into 4_th Ave. all
cloaked in darkness, and as I recall the porch light thereat the
front of Kendra's dad's house had just then went out just after
Kendar's father went back inside his house.I think I must have lit up another Camel Light inside the car
and relished the smoke in a kind of celebratory relief at having
been able to break through the long-distance phone line "Black-Out"
thereon the GTE payphones at the Western Airlines terminal at Portland
International Airport, only 20 minutes or so earlier that night,
and was girding my loins so to speak, for my return to the same
Western Airline terminal, and the little crowd of well groomed men,
and all dressed to kill therewith weapons stashed in their expensively
tailored suits.As I recall Kendra had not yet turned on her car headlights,
as she backed to the position in which the car was then at that moment
and for some reason it seemed a bit lighter outside in the still
rather dark night than when we had arrived, it's possible that the
moon had come up by then and that the clouds had pulled back a bit
whereby it seemed a just bit lighter.good f that a bit e
t eithe
and Kendra was just about to put the
VW into first gear when suddenly we were both surprised to see the
headlights bouncing up and down from the chuckholes and dips as the
head lights race down the gravel and mud driveway towards Kendra's
dad little woodframe house.ew
it in driveway Kendra holds off putting the VW Bug into first
gear as e are both amazed at the speedy arrival of this truck to
Kendras ' dads]'s ]place, my adrenaline was still up when I got to
Kendra's dad's place
after all the excitement
I just went through at th Western Airlines terminal.Finally as the pick up truck, slowed to about 20 mph and into
the light of Porchlight I saw a man jump out of the drivers seat,
as the passenegre next to him slid into the driver's seat and grabbed
the steeriung wheel, like they wer a stunt diving team or something.
A spilt second later I saw the first driver then run right up
to the same front porch where Kendra and I, had only seconds before
said goodbye to Kendra's dad, thereunder the blazing semi-conventional
porch light which lit up the whole front side of the tiny one bedroom
house and a goodly portion of the driveway that ran next to and on
past the front porch on this oversized lot.
Meanwhile the replacement driver of the pick-up who grabbed
the steering wheel, had soemhow mangaed to bring the pick-up truck
to a screeching halt thereon the gravel drive a good distance well
past the house, and weere then going into reverse, whenI said;
"Who in the hell are those guys ?"I was shocked when Kendra said. "Oh, they're some Cuban friends
of my das's." This rung bad vibe with me and I then said;
"Fuck man, let's get out of here."Kendra then put the VW into first gear and we drove as fast as we
could back up the uneven gravel driveway with chuckholes up to 49th
? and then east on to up Division, and then north on 82nd and the
Airport.On the way back to the airport I was tempted to ask Kendra what
or if there was anything she knew about the Cubans in the pick-up
truck, but the manner and the circumstances under which they arrived
seemed to speak louder than volumes could, as did the series of
extremely agitated and furtive glance betwixt Kendra and her father
and then me a I was making my long distance phone call to my friend
in Covina, John thereunder the intense scrutiny of the two therein
the livingroom of Kendra's dad's living room.That being the situation on the way back to Portland
International Airport, there on that rather bizarre night of March
30, 1979, I decided that I would just keep focused on
keeping my cool and boarding my flight regardless as to how many
heavily armed scary dudes in suits were thereat the Western Airlines
boarding area glaring at me.I must say this for Kendra she could have bailed out on the
situation at any time and dropped me off anywhere along the road,
but she didn't, was because she grew to like me, or was it because
if she did it might have further revealed that she was plugged into
those trying to railroad me and had orders not to.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continuedFACE OFF WITH THE MAN WHO STOLE THE WORLD
As I recall, after the weird scene on the telephone to my sister
Ann turned the cold shoulder on me before the line went dead,
I then decided that I was going to make another phone call from
that very same bank of phones then owned and operated by General
Telephone, (now Verizon), and so I think I may have got some more
change, presumably from the Western Airlines ticket counter and then
went to another phone therein the bank of payphones which formed
a kind of island, therein the middle of the Western Airlines boarding
area.Unlike the first phone that I used during the abruptly terminated
phone call to my half-assed, snitch of a half-sister Ann, which was
a single lone payphone installed at one end of the bank of a dozen
or so GTE payphones, this payphone was on one side, one in a row
of 5 or 6 payphones, at which time time I put the money, about a
buck and a half or so, dialed up th number and the long distance
phone line to Ann's place in Covina went dead.I made this call to the same phone number because I was really
going to put her feet in the fire on this one and give her hell
for blowing off and pretending she couldn't hear me prior to the
phone line going going dead, compliments of GTE (now Verizon).When the GTE phone that I had just dumped a half dozen or so
quarters into wouldn't give me change back, after the phone line
was once again disconected I got really pissed off, and called the
robotic like GTE phone operator and demanded that she give, use her
control thta opertors use to return one's change, as was often the
case in those days with payphones.After the phone opertor said that she could not return my change
I think I told her my feelings about the GTE telephone service and
then hung up the phone. At that precise moment I had a rather strong
intuition, or psychic flash, or swhatever one might call it, but
I could somehow sense that there was somebody there on the other
side of th GTE phone bank who knew something about this sudden rash
of long distance phone blackouts I was then experiencing just at
that moment.It was one of th most damnest experiences for me in my
like, it was like my rain had some kind radar or tractor beam that
was focusing in on this individual on the other side of the phone
bank, like electricty. I then decided, or rahter should I say felt
compelled to take a peek around the corner of the phone bank to see
who or possibly what it was that made my instincts react in such
a curious fashion.As I walked around the corner I was suddenly confronted by a
man not much taller than myself, who had what I would to say was
one of the most intensely furious expressions I had ever seen on
a man's face, he looked positively livid a somewhat pink and red
in th face as this guy stared at me with looks that wished looks
could kill.When I saw this face it was like looking at the devil himself
for a moment or two, at which time I could feel the blood suddenly
leave my face, it must have turned a few lighter shades of pale,
as if my heart had sunk as well, I was for a moment terrified of
this face at which time th man's facial experession went from intense
anger and apparent frustration to a radically different facial
expression of truimphant glee and delight therein an evil and
psychotic sort of way, whereas this guy thought he now had me
buffallowed for sure, judging by what must have been the rather
intense look of terror on my face and th fear in my eye.After those few seconds as we both stood there in speechless
silence, therein the Western Airlines boarding that night of March
30, 1979 surrounded by heavily armed serious men both good and evil,
I then managed to muster up a little of my inner resources and gave
this guy a look.
*****************************
Overlap text ABOVE from "1979--J4"The gentleman who I was having a bit of a face-to-face showdown
with, was I think the man calling the shots, or in this case the
decision not to fire shots therein the Western Airlines boarding
area of Portland Intenational Airport on March 30, 1979.The I saw looked to be about 5'-7" tall or so, looked to be
an American of northern European descent, with what looked like from
my angle to have been very sparse amounts of hair on top, an had
a fair complexion, and what I would say looked to be a rather
intelligent and ruthlessly cunning face which I had to somehow admire,
kind of like when Sherlock Holmes met the fiendishly evil Proffessor
Moriarity.I now seem to recall that the man looked to be in his fifties,
of an average build for a man his age, and may have been wearing
some wire rimmed glasses, though I'm not certain on this point,
however this fellow did have an aire of authority and confidence
about him that strongly suggested he was the kind of person who as
used to commanding men and handling them very well in tricky an
delicate situations such as the one we were both thrust into together
at that precise moment, this dude was connected, at least in my
assessment of the gent at that time.
After the Holmes-Moriarity like face-off I then returned to
where Kendra was standing thereoff to one side of and on the perifery
of the Western Airlines boarding, near what I vaguely recal may
been a column or something like it at which time, fealing up the
game and now more sporting than ever I stood next to Kendra who
was facing the bank of payphones, pulled her close to me and then
said in her ear in low voice behind her full 1970's Hippie-Afro like
hair:"Let's see if your father's phone works."
After that I immediately took Kendra by the arm and then escorted
her out of the Western Airlines boarding area, walked down the long
corridor fo the airport terminal and Kendra, as per my directions
then drove me directly over to her father's house which was only
a few miles away from Portland International Airport.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continued
I had been to Kendra's father's place few times before in recent
months, which I vaguely recall was most likely located in the
Southeast section of Portland somewhere on southeast 49th or possibly
48th Avenue, there between Division St. and Powell Blvd. to the south,
which is as near as I can tell after all these 20 plus years./////////////////
Research Note:
This place should not be to hard to verify the locationAs I recall Kendra and I left the airport therein Kendra's VW
Bug, and as I sat next to her in the front passenger smoking a
cigarette, I kept an eye peeled for any kind trouble imaginable ahead,
and I repeatedly looked back to see if any cars were following us
from Portland International as we both headed south down NE 82nd
Avenue during those first few minutes after we left.When Kendra turned off 82nd Ave. I recall that I greatly relieved
to be off of such a well travelled highway, and Kendra then took
I what I beleive was most likely took NE Glisan Ave. going west
to NE 50th Ave. and proceeded south thereon 50th into the Southeast
section of Portland, near Division St. going west and from there
to 49th or possibly 48th and as we drove south I recall the stands
of tall trees along what must have been th east side of the road
which continured until we reached Kenda's father's house.
Kendra's father's place was a small one story, woodframe house,
situated thereon a rather large lot about one third, to one half
acre, or possibly more in size, not knowing the precise boundaries
and all, and had a long unpaved driveway, about 120 or so feet long
going west to the small house. The driveway was all covered with
gravel, and due to the constantly rainy weather of Portland, had
quite a few chuckholes and dips in it which acted like speed bumps
as Kendra drove her "Bug" towards her father's house therein near
pitch like darkness, at about 7:00pm on March 30, 1979.
On the way over I told Kendra that I was going to telk her father
Ken just what I had told everyone else, except for Kendra and the
U.S. Secret Service whereas most any plausible lie is more believable
than than an implausible and highly unlikely sounding truth.The cover story being in this case that my mother had just
suddenly become gravely ill and was hospitalized thereas the result
whereby it became immediatley imperative that fly home to Los Angeles
County and see her during this family crisis.Kendra then parked the little VW Bug up close to the little
wood frame house, and we both walked up to the front door and Kendra
rang the doorbell, whereby her father Ken answered the door a bit
surprised and let us both inside his home.Kendra's father seemed to in his usual reserved, but congenial
self, and had a kind laid back demeanor pretty typical for many a
blue collar type and construction worker, I had known over the years.
Kendra's father was a plumber by trade, a pretty well paid one by
his account.I then gave Kendra's father the bulshit cover story regarding
the the bogus family emergency, that being my mother had just become
seriously ill and was taken to a hospital at which time Kendra's
father expressed his sympathies and hopes for her speedy recovery,
whereby I graciously accepted his condolences and kind words, at
which time Kendra then interjected and asked her father if I might
be permitted to use his phone to call a friend back home, who I could
then ask to pick me up from Los Angeles International Airport upon
my arrival there later that night and then drive me to my family.Kendra's father reacted as most anyone would have in his
situation, after all I was at the time living with his daughter a
her fiance'and this was after all a family emergency, so he handed
me the phone right there in the livingroom of the small woodframe
and I started dailing away on the phone.Whereas there was something pretty fishy about the way my sister
Ann had suuddenly pretended that the phone line was dead when I called
her up from the airport, some seconds before thta line actually did
go dead, and as I knew there was another separate phome line at the
home in my old neighborhood where Ann lived, I decided that I was
going call on someone who in the past was a rock solid friend and
someone that I knew I could count on, this was a surfer friend of
mine named John, who also lived in the old neighborhood.I started talking to John and telling him that my Western
Airlines flight from Portland, Oregon to Los Angeles International
was due to arrive there at sometime around 10: 30 or 11:00 that
night.During the long distance phone call to John, I then flashed
back how only some minutes earlier, I had been given the brush-off

receiver, and thanked Kendra's dad for letting me barge in unanounced
and permitting me to place the long distance call, and then Kendra's

house and a goodly portion of the driveway that ran next to and on
past the front porch on this oversized lot.
Meanwhile the replacement driver of the pick-up who grabbed
the steering wheel, had soemhow mangaed to bring the pick-up truck
to a screeching halt thereon the gravel drive a good distance well
past the house, and weere then going into reverse, whenI said;
"Who in the hell are those guys ?"I was shocked when Kendra said. "Oh, they're some Cuban friends
of my das's." This rung bad vibe with me and I then said;
"Fuck man, let's get out of here."Kendra then put the VW into first gear and we drove as fast as we
could back up the uneven gravel driveway with chuckholes up to 49th
? and then east on to up Division, and then north on 82nd and the
Airport.
On the way back to the airport I was tempted to ask Kendra what
or if there was anything she knew about the Cubans in the pick-up
truck, but the manner and the circumstances under which they arrived
seemed to speak louder than volumes could so I just focused on
keeping my cool and boarding my fligt regardless as to how many scary
dudes in suits were thereat the Western Airlines boarding area
glaring at me.

In light of the events earlier that night at the Western Airlines terminal at Portland International, the CIA-FBI-Mob milieu showdown with Secret Service & ?? to see that I got on my Friday night March 30, 1979 Western Airlines back to L.A.
Or in my case those other groups and individuals then present, and who sought to prevent my leaving Portland, Oregon, at least alive that is.The long distance black out there, followed by the side trip to use a private residential phone line & all the weird stuff that followed, and this last weird-ass passenger, so doped-up, he can't find a seat to sit down in.

Unexpected Midnight-Stopover at SFO-'Frisco' prompt fears of an attempt to possibly remove or force me off my Western DC-10 Bound for LAX - Los Angeles, during this 40 minute plus airport layover.
A Second-Late Passenger Sent On Board sits down next to the First Late Passenger & Is --- Apparently to Defuse What May Be Safely Surmised to be a time or possibly altitude activated Bomb in the leather valise strapped to the wrist of the heavily drugged "first late passenger" --- the same and only passenger who was led to his seat and strapped in by a suddenly rather terrified Western Flight Attendant.
Weirder still --- I recognize this second
My old police science instructor from 1971 the L.A. Sheriff's Sergeant who was also CIA.
A brilliant choice in using the very agent whose "cover" was already "blown" agent from the incident in an elevator at the downtown Portland Hilton March 22, 1979 --- and who I had known from some 8 years earlier My old police science instructor from 1971 the L.A. Sheriff's Sergeant who was also CIA to come aboard, as covered in Chapter __. Of my book; "1979".

Sheriff's Detective Sergeant who was former college class instructor who hadn't seen in 8 years since May 1971 --- and who suddenly turned up there at the Portland Hilton disguised as an 'Otis' Elevator repairman's uniform only 8 days before --- thereby setting into motion that Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown chain of events which neccessitated the need for my immmediate departure from Portland and hence my Western Airlines flight to LAX Los Angeles in the first place ---
As I closely observed the cop coming down the aisle wearing a two-way radio earphone --- I was immediately awestruck and amazed at the shear fucking audacity and brillance of the move --- turning the tables on me so to speak --- what's more his very presence was a message in and of itself --- This meant they weren't going to blow-up my plane --- and became even more apparent when the undercover cop waliked over to where the first late passenger, the drugged-out dude with a brief case bomb --- and sits down next to him and there after started rifling through the drugged passeger's jacket --- presumably to start defusimg the bomb d fussing all ---

After all of that intensely scary, and deadly serious business
therein the Western Airlines boarding area, followed by my half-sister
Ann's long distance telephonic desertion of me when I needed a family
member most, followed by the long distance phone
call black-out compliments of General Telephone therein the Western
Airlines boarding area terminal, followed by the little spur of moment
trip to Kendra's dad's place, her and her father's rather curious
alarm at my making the long distance phome call to my friend
in Covina, and then topped off by the rather bizarre jump out of
the still speeding truck of some Cuban friends of Kendra's as we
were leaving to return to Portland International so I could catch
my Western Airlines fligt to L.A. I was literally worn to a frazzle
and yet greatly relieved to know that I had finally got on board
my flight home.Once inside the flight cabin I was then directed to my seat
in the coach area of the Western Airlines flight therein the tail
section which suited me whereas it was close to the galley where
the flight attendants kept the liquor and refreshments and where
I could be sure to get a refill when I wanted one, and which was
the place place where I thought it was the safest in the event
something should go wrong.As I recall I sat down therein last aisle seat of the left
side of the tail section of the Western Airlines DC-10 passenger
jet, and lit up a Camel Light cigarette, and when the
flight attendant made the rounds I then ordered up a couple of "V.O.
& Sevens" (Whisky and Seven Up), and sat back waiting for the flight
back home to begin, and then tried to figure out just how I was going
to stay alive once the plane landed at LAX, was it possible thta
I might b grabbed and taken away before my friend John arrived
at LAX to pick me up and take home to th old neighborhood in Covina.

The second later boarding passenger, why it's my old college

chain of events whereby I was then thereon that Western Airlines

The flight home to LA with a layover at San Francisco
International and the e Chapter 82. of "1979" ---
About 30 to possibly as long as 45 minutes after the first late
boarding was babied aboard, strapped in his seat, and the coach
section most conmspicupuly neglected by the Western Airlines flight
attendant, and the exit door left wide fucking open with the loading
ramp still attached there came a second late boarding passenger.More than that, I immediately recognized this fucker but good,
why it was my old college Police Science Instructor who, until last
week on March 22, 1979, I had not seen for 8 years, since I passed
his class at Citrus College, in Glendora Californiain May of 1971.
If you have been following this factual account ypou will remeber
that it because I was out of Camel Lights cigarettes, that I had
broken the rules of Hilton and went into to guest lobby, grabbed
a pack of smokes, and then split back to work in a hotel guest
elavator, at which I busted Ostman thereat the Hilton and blew his
cover thereas an Otis Elevator repairman, thereby setting off this
most recent chain of events whereby I was then thereon that Western
Airlines DC-10 flight to L.A.(Gee if only the kids from my 1971 police science class could see
me now, I wonder what they would say about all this, MAYBE I was
entitled to some extra credit or something.)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Friday, March 30, 1979 continued
When Ostman boarded the Western I literally jumped out my seat
but stayed there studying my old police science whose mind and cover
I had seriuously fucking blown only 8 days earlier, at the Portland
Hilton, and who now was used to blow my mind right fucking back it
was as ingenious, as it was totally unexpected by me I must say,
and mot of all, Ostman's very presence seemed to speak louder or
more articulately than any words could, he was there to call the
whole thing off.When Ostman boarded the plane and walked down the aisle of the
flight cabin he was wearing casual attire, strikingly similar to
the first late boarding and semi-comatose passenger, except that
his jacket was a lighter color and he may have been wearing slacks
as well, what's more Ostman had an earpiece stuck in his ear to which
a wire was attached, that led to his pocket whereby to look at him
anyone in the late 1970's would have assumed Ostman was wearing an
ordinary earpiece plugged into an ordinary 1960's style transistor
radio, listening to a ballgame or radio show.I would have to say that Ostman was wearing a two way radio
and that the earpiece was for recieving, whilst there was another
wire and mike for talking.What really out the icing on the cake was when Ostman sat right
down next to the first late passeger, the guy who was semi-comatose,
with the expensive looking attache' case and who I surmised to have
been a kind of mind-control suicide bomber, like those used in the
middle-east and elsewhere around the globe, however when I spotted
Ostman at the end of the aisle I knew already that th whole bomb
scare scam was beinmg called off, as plainly evidenced by his presence
on the plane. Ostman was cool he never let his eyes meet mine not
fpor one second, as he did in the elevator at the Hilton.I studied Ostman as he sat down right next to the comatose guy
with attache' case who I surmised to have been a bomber bagman an
watched my old police science instructor and CIA recruiter at work.
He first started talking into the semi-comatose passenger's ear,
and there after started fussing around with something inside the
dude's shirt for a minute or two and then sat back in his seat at
which time I said "Fuck man I need a drink.", and looke around fpr
a flight attendent.Finally at sometime around 10:00 pm or so, possibly later the
Western Airlines passenger took off and we had a pretty uneventfull
flight after that, however I was alarmed for a bit when the plane
made a quick half hour layover at San Francisco International and
I was afraid that I might get muscled off the plane right there and
dealt with most severely, however as thisngs turned the plane took
off and we landed there at LAX about 45 minutes later.I called my friend John in Covina, waited about 45 minutes or
so ad spent the night there ewas baflr the e

--- Smoking, I recall and start to reason out the events --- my conclusion being of the that that if these guys can scare me off this Western Airlines flight back to LAX tonight --- there's a pretty good chance I'll never live to be able to do it again --- judging by all they virtually 'pulled out all the stops' here tonight --- and worse yet these clowns will probably work me over --- partly to find out what I know and who if anyone I may have taliked to
'Fuck it, if I gotta' go it may as well be here and now, rather than who knows what." I opt to 'Buckeroo Banzai' and ride out what might or quite might not possibly be a bluff --- I figured it was 3 to 1 odds that I was as good a dead --- but where there's life, there hope was
For Most of an hour waiting to die any at any given second --- almost as bad the flight attendent, apparently told to stay clear of the tailsection in anticipation of the blast --- was nowhere to be seen, so no 'last call' for alcohol
