An Lauren. Now I know why I didn't have any peace about allowing you to co-author my book. HOWEVER, I do owe you for your time and effort for representing me so well when the story first broke. You'll be happy to know, I have a literary agent and an underwriter. Please send me a bill for your time and you will have immediate payment in full, after we take care of the legalities. Farewell, my "friend." I wish you the best, as always. This will make a really interesting chapter.

Yes. It's all true. And well known by the FBI and by the people who know and love me. As I've said, I'm an open book. A flawed person who has made many "mistakes" and understands the mercy of a mighty God I rely on for every breath. Yes, using "Cooper" was a clacated decision. Prior to that, when not married, I used Wynn, my middle name. Re: the husbands. I was married for ten years to a man who became a hero by raising our sons. Custody was a painful decision, which prompted my trip to see my dad the last Christmas he was alive. I quickly burried my hurt by marrying a con man. When I met Revon, he was a stock broker, turns out he was really a Janitor. When he commited fraud against me, I divorced him. The marriage lasted less than two years. Soon thereafter, I married a sweet man who is still a dear friend. It was a short three year marriage with sad and quick ending. Next came John. Bruce found his name and posted it for the world to see. Thanks Bruce. You don't know that this man brought so much devastation to me and my sons that I litterally had to "go underground" for two years, courtesy of my youngest son's biological father, who is a very respectable and respected man. His twenty seven year marriage was long broken before he and I came clean to our son and his family, which was the right thing to do. Naturally, my son was devastated and I have to live with the knowledge I've caused such sadness to my son. I had chosen to protect bio dad and his family over being honest with my son, who was raised by a great man with a very strong extended family. The dad who raised my sons knew the truth early on, and loves all of our sons. I hope this satisfies you enough that you will now cease, but I doubt it. As for me, I'm finished with DZ now. Whoever you are who "exposed this to these strangers, I'm not sure what you think you have achieve. But know this, you can't break someone as broken as I am, which has made me whole.

And that is exactly the point. Mister Smith has already pissed off and misquoted a few people. Nobody in my family wants to be bothered with this. Bothering them further only irritates them toward you. I would remind all of you that this is an ongoing investigation and there are things I will not disclose, for the sake of my safety and to preserve the integrity of the case. For all of you to know: I have a very busy and full life. I really don't have time to answer every one of your queries individually. I will post something in a few days answering the bulk of them. Also, I will not answer petty questions concerning things I have addressed publicly and repeatedly. About seventy percent of your questions are perhaps because you have been reading articles by some of your fellow DZ friends rather than by mainstream media, who have conducted the bulk of my interviews. I also won't be cohearsed into filling in every little blank to satisfy (SOME of your) enquiring minds. A lot of answers you will find in my book. I won't air everything to satisfy your curiosities and doubts. I would also remind you that you represent a tiny minority of the population, even though it would seem DropZone is your entire world. It's not mine. I joined DZ voluntarily, not to be interrogated, but to set strait some frequently recurring misstated so-called "facts" about me, my motives, and my testimony. FYI, I first heard of DZ a few days after ABC news broke my story. A producer from their Washington DC Bureau asked if I was aware of it. I was not. When he told me about it, I said "I don't want to even want to go on there. They probably all have their theories and beliefs well in place and aren't going to be thrilled with this." At the Symposium I heard Mark, Carol, and Tom speak and was really impressed by them and their research. I found Mark's information especially compelling. I was clueless that this was a DZ monopolized event. Maybe I should have just stuck with the party in Ariel and hung out with the OHS guys. THEY were fun. Some members of the DZ gang have been nothing but insulting and mean and have never even met me. So I first looked at DZ last Saturday, at the insistance of a FB "friend" who clearly doesn't even use her real name. I've read your posts since then, and looked back into the history only spot reading about three weeks. Well I need to get gorgeous to go see the Commodores and Kool and the Gang!!! P.S. Farflung, call ME baby!

We didn't LIVE in the house. We were visiting. It was my grandmother's house. Do you have siblings? I do, and sons. Ask any siblings about an event and they all have their own perspective.

Bite me Robert. I don't HAVE to do anything. I remember them, they don't. They also don't remember the names of the neighbors, the colors of the walls, the bedspreads, or a lot of other things. I have a cousin who remembers the comics and their name. Don't expect me to provide you with his name you invasive jerk.

Hi Georger. Thank you for the welcome, and for giving me the benefit of your doubts in your posts. I will answer your questions as I'm able. Please keep in mind that I only have my memories, those shared with me by others, and a few documents. I've never felt it was my job to "solve" or to "prove" anything. Physical evidence is the only thing that could bring a conviction. I am aware of certain facts about the case because Eng has told me some things, but certainly not everything! The comic books: My dad was Don Cooper. I used to think those comics were about him. It was odd to me that an adult had comic books. I would take them down from the wall and try to read them, believing there would be something about my father written in them. Of corse, that was frustrating because they were written in French. I can almost hear Jerry ask "How did you know it was French?" I didn't. I know that now. I tried to read them phonetically, which didn't help. I remember seeing the one with the space needle, a familiar and identifiable land mark to me as a child since I had lived in various parts of Seattle in the first grade. Someone on here has observed that I had described my uncle as just "having" the comics to later calling him "obsessed" by them. I used the word obsessed only after hearing Carol speak at the symposium. I was looking forward to her presentation as I've always wondered what the connection was. Her research was fascinating to me because I've never known what was in the comics. After hearing about all the things in the comics that he used in hijacking the plane, I thought "What a nut job! He must have studied and studied those comics to the point of obsession to have extracted and execute such detail from them." So yes, my description of his interest has changed. I know very little of my uncle's service record, only that he was in the Navy and fought in Korea. Someone in my family said he had been a paratrooper. Another family member said he had been assaulted and beaten up badly while over seas. My parents and other people in Sisters have attested that he was very different after the war. He had seizures, and was emotionally withdrawn. I have been quoted saying: "he was always smiling." That, like many things, I didn't say, has been regergitated in the press. What I have said is "I remember his smile." I know he convalesced at different times in his life in VA hospitals. As far as a hospital in Great Brittain, I don't know about that. I think you got that from Bruce's story where he interviewed Dale Miller. Or maybe he got that from Arden Dorney. Bruce has quite a flare for the dramatic and takes creative license when writing. He also becomes a pest when he interviews you. He starts with a "normal" interview, then comes back with more and more questions, then wants yet more or your time to discect what he or someone else thinks or says about what he wrote that you may or may not have said. He brings a lot of drama, embellishment, and conflict into his stories, and his quotes are seldom verbatim. I, my mother, and Dale Miller have all experienced this with him. In the end, Bruce writes whatever he wants to and my guess is it's usually based on what would make for a good performance on stage. Dale told me LD said a lot about his service time, but he didn't know how much of it was true. One of his stories had included being treated by his own brother, who was a doctor. LD didn't have a doctor/brother. What I do know about his service record is that there were no finger prints in it. This was told to me by Eng.

Thank you 377. And thank you for your neutrality, poetry, etc., where I'm concerned.

Snarky they were. Deliberately so, which I think parallels your attitude. The low road should be familiar territory to you Robert. You were not even going to interview me for this article until I posted an open note to you on FB. I figured surely someone would let you know, since you had not answered my "friend" request and your settings don't allow for messages. No, I didn't read your additional bullets, just as I told you I wouldn't. I've read enough of your writing to know you've little regard for the truth. Georger, please forgive my error in addressing you on FB. I've been reading this forum for a few days, but I still don't always know who's who. Some of you are on FB, but obviously, you don't use your real names. Georger, I confused you with someone els. LD's fingerprints are missing from his military record.
