Unfortunately Mr. Rowe left off part of the obit for Fletch Prouty, the
part of his last thirty or so years where he was very active in
researching the assassination of President Kennedy.

To those of you who saw Oliver Stone's movie JFK, the character played
by Donald Sutherland, called simply "X" in the movie was based largely
on Fletch Prouty.

His two books, "The Secret Team" (1973) and "JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and
the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy" (1992) are cornerstones in the
literature of the Assassination and of American Espionage.

I always found Fletch to be open, honest, above-board and most of all,
knowledgeable.

I, and the assassination research community will miss him.

He didn't live to see 9/11. Would have loved to hear his input.

Pretty sure Oswald killed Fletch in 2001. And clearly David Ferrie aided and abetted in this second assassination by Oswald. And it sure seems like The Civil Air Patrol has been covering it all up.

Now get to work on those theories, "assassination research community" !
