A month and a half ago on June 1, I received a mailing from John Ford that included a 14 page or so 'briefing paper' in which he expressed his desire to present his side of the story surrounding his arrest some 13 years ago in June 1996.

In his cover letter he states, "Please read this briefing paper and acquaint yourself with the facts and not the Police and Psychiatrist's lies. Please photocopy this report and make copies available to other researchers and put it on the internet for the public to access it."

Therefore, in fairness to John Ford what follows is the briefing paper he sent me in its entirety. For the record, I can't vouch for the truthfulness or validity of his claims, and perhaps, with his side of the story presented here certain aspects of it can be discussed and debated. …

Dear Kelly,

This letter is the one I promised you several weeks ago when I last wrote you. It is going to fill in the gaps and spaces in my story and my background. I don't know if you will value me as a friend after I tell you the story or if you will understand my perspective. I leave it up to you and hope that you'll understand.

It all began in my college days. I was a college student during the Vietnam War when the college campuses were aflame and there were radicals on both sides of the political fence. I was an outspoken Conservative student leader on my college campus and led the fight on my college campus against the radical leftist organization Students For A Democratic Society and the Black Panthers. I also was involved in Conservative Party Politics off the campus too. I was widely known on campus and off.

Little did I know that my activities would attract outside attention. I learned the following years later from my friend John who was in a position to know the truth.

I worked after school at Macy's Jamaica branch store in Jamaica Queens about eight blocks from where I was to live in Queens. While working there one night after school the personnel manager for the store brought a new sales girl to my department to work with me and the other salespeople. She immediately singled me out and over a week began to flirt with me until I began to notice her and finally worked up the courage to ask her out. After the movie we went to her parent's home which was close by the movie theatre. Both her parents were out visiting friends leaving us alone in the apartment.
