It is truly sad to read about this loss to the JFK research community. He
was an outsanding researcher and from what I have read, an outstanding
human being. He will be missed by many I'm sure.

This is truly a small world. I was born just 10 days prior to Russ and
grew up (literally) just a hop, skip & a jump away from his boyhood town,
Villa Park.

Not sure if Russ ever mentioned Villa Park's history. It was built because
of OVALTINE (Vital One) establishing it's factory there way- back-when in
the early 1900s and needing housing for its employees. The factory closed
in the late 80s.

I fondly remember duelling here with Russ. Also, he was kind enough
once to send me some photocopied material--FBI interviews etc. Miss
you, Russ....
