Does any one have a copy of the Penn Jones book "Forgive My Grief"If so which eddition?

I need one or two of you researchers to find information on "Bill X The Mexico City Man"I found reference to this in a David Parry article about Gary Shaw???I need to know about this Bill X.

Even though there is very little interest, I will bring you all up on what I have found.I know there is more but so far this is where I am with it.Porter Bledsoe was one of Mary E.Bledsoe's sons born in 1924and in my mind has been a very msterious person.The first record I can find on him is that he attended the "Adamson High School" formerly the "Oak Cliff High School".This was the largest high school in that area of Dallas.he graduated in 1943.Porter was involved in no regular school activities of record, Even though most high school boys were involved in ROTC at thattime everyone was war minded, he was not in the ROTC.However he was academically oriented.I spoke with a classmate of his and he said Porter was not a mixer but was a tall handsom fellew.Senior Picture class of 19432nd. row, 5th from right.2nd row, left endPorter received a scholarship and after graduation attended Georgetown University .And entered the Edmund Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown.******Fr. Edmund Aloysius Walsh, S.J. (October 10, 1885 – October 31, 1956)[1] was an American Jesuit Catholic priest, professor of geopolitics and founder of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, which he founded in 1919–six years before the U.S. Foreign Service itself existed–and served as its first regent.He directed the Papal Famine Relief Mission to Russia in 1922, which also succeeded in securing for the Vatican the Holy Relics of St. Andrew Bobola (they were actually transported to Rome by the Walsh's Assistant Director, Louis J. Gallagher, who later wrote books both about Walsh and about Bobola).[2][3]Later, Walsh worked on behalf of the Vatican to resolve long-standing issues between Church and State in Mexico in 1929, and negotiated with the Iraqi government to establish an American College in Baghdad in 1931.After the Allies' victory in World War II, Walsh served as Consultant to the U.S. Chief of Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials. During that task, he interrogated the German geopolitician General Karl Haushofer to determine whether or not he should stand trial for war crimes, eventually finding that Gen. Haushofer ought not stand trial.Strongly anti-Communist, it is alleged that Walsh was the man who first suggested to Senator McCarthy that he use this issue in order to gain political prominence. Walsh vigorously promoted anti-Communism thought throughout his career.**************The United States Foreign Service refers both to the primary personnel system within the diplomatic service of the government of the United States, under the aegis of the United States Department of State, and to the service itself, comprising approximately 12,000 professionals carrying out the foreign policy of the United States and aiding U.S. citizens abroad.[1] [2]The personnel system was first created under the Foreign Service Act to serve as the principal personnel system under which the United States Secretary of State is authorized to assign diplomats abroad. Members of the Foreign Service are selected through a series of written and oral civil service examinations. They serve at any of the 265 United States diplomatic missions around the world, including embassies, consulates, and other missions. Members of the Foreign Service also staff the headquarters of the four foreign affairs agencies: The Department of State, headquartered at Harry S Truman Building in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C.; the Department of Agriculture and Department of Commerce, and the United States Agency for International Development.*********************If he ever served in foreign countries we do not know. But I think he would have gotten some oversee's trainingbetween 1950 and 1955.Next he is reported to have been with LHO in Capt. David Ferrie's LCAP unit which would have been in 1955.By 1963 when LHO was a roomer in Mary E. Bledsoe's home records also lists Porter Bledsoe as a resident and does so for a few more years. Porter actuall never left Dallas that I can find a record of.On about October 11, 1963 we have a Dallas police report the puts Alec Hidel, J.A. Rubenstein and someone named H.H. GrantIn Mary Bledsoe's home.It is my personal opinion the H.H.Grant and Porter Lee Bledsoe are one and the same. As we know Porter was a resident of the same house with his mother.H.H.Grant is on record as being an FBI employee.During all the commotion and questioning of Mary Bledsoe, Porter was only casually mentioned.No one ever questioned or interviewd him for the record. He was left alone?To me it is very obvious that Mary Bledsoe in her testimony was covering up for Porter.I don't think she had a clue previously as to what was going on but was called on by Porter tolead everything away from himself.I also noticed that a fellow he went to high school with was named Hargis?There is almost nothing known about Porter after Nov. 1963.His residences always showed he live in Dallas and mostly in the Oak Cliff area. ********************Record: BLEDSOE, PORTER L. Sources: Interview with Al Chapman, Dallas researcher Mary'sComments: Son of Mrs. Mary Bledsoe. Graduate of Georgetown Univ. Majored in Foreign Service. Night desk clerk at Town House Motel on Harry Hines, Dallas. DOB: 1924 (?) In 1995, Porter L. Bledsoe is listed as owner of a duplex at 4206 Wycliff. He lives there but there is no listed phone. ******************************Someone had to have interviewed him over the years or knew him.where are they.How do I find them?************************And Porter Bledsoe is still alive, living in Dallas. He used to hang at the Green Glass bar, near the West End, and was working as a late night motel clerk, out of his league if his posted education is accurate. He could probably answer some of our questons. (Bill Kelly)Bill,In April of 2005, a man named Porter Bledsoe was killed by an axe wielding Vietnam vet named James Moseley. They were rooming together. Bledsoe was listed as being 80 years of age.**********************There is also another Porter L. Bledsoe listed as living in Kansas City, Mo.I tried his phone but it had been disconnected.These are the only Porter L. Bledsoe's I can find in the U.S.In the 1963 Dallas city directory Porter Bledsoe was listed as a Claims Adjuster for Aetna Casualtyand resided at 621 N Marsalis with his mother Mary.I 1965 he was still at the same address but employed by National Claims Service.Any Ideas.I realise this is not exciting like the Big conspiacy, Bushes, Oil people, ect.but it is essential to understand what was going on in Oak Cliff in 1963.

Great stuff Joe. I think you are right about Porter.

Excellent Joe! I'll give you a call tomorrow to talk about this my friend, per my story.

Have the people in this picture been identified?please SOMEONE research this!!

Dealey Joe wrote:Have the people in this picture been identified?please SOMEONE research this!!Okay Joe...what are you thinking??? You don't ask a question usually, unless you have a probable answer. Dobkins maybe? Porter Bledsoe would have been in his early 30's then, so he wouldn't be one of the younger guys like Oswald. But he could be one of the older guys in the front of the picture.

Well you asked.the third guy on the left with the sunglasses and the bars on his helment is Porter Bledsoe.

WOW!!! Only a gumshoe who is exceptional would figure out that caper.I'll be calling you again tomorrow my friend. Does this Bledsoe story ever end???
