EU:
I'm please to announce that Marty Andrade will be at CC21.
I'm stoked to hear him discuss his work particularly related to the survivability of the jump. Would also be cool to hear about his Gunther analysis.

How many people actually lived in the area and were familiar with the circumstances will be speaking at CC 21 ?
A few I’m aware of but we need more and there has to be 100’s ! I was 30 years old and am now 80. Any real witnesses are fast disappearing!

Kermit, I would like to enlist your help with the DB Cooper Photobomb Initiative.
Specifically, I'm looking for old photos taken in or outside of PDX on November 24, 1971. There had to be dozens of family photos and the like as people greeted arriving family and friends for Thanksgiving or saw others off. I intend to analyze each of these pictures carefully and look for Cooper or signs of Cooper in the background.
Please reach out to anyone you know who may have a stray photo or two hanging around in an old photo album or slide projector reel. I can be reached via email.

Eric,
Although I have nothing but support for any new ideas, most people would consider your photobomb initiative as a real long shot ! We live nowadays in a society where almost everyone has a smart phone and since the photos cost nothing really, everyone is snapping away ! This event was such a huge happening in Portland in 1971 that I’d think that anyone who did take photos at PDX on Nov 24 would have gone through their photos looking for a Cooper lookalike ! However miracles are always possible so I think enlisting some help from local newspapers might produce something. I actually think producing any photos relating to Portland as it existed in 1971 would be of interest.
I’m sure many of our forum posters have little idea of how different things were back in 1971. That’s why I’d like to see more of the locals that were actually living in The area to get involved in CC21!

There will be a significant amount of promotion and publicity leading up to CC21. Locals will have ample opportunity to show up if interested.

Perhaps in the articles you could toss in the "where were you Nov. 24, 1971" to try and capture moments in time and see where people actually were that evening. driving down I-5, dropping someone off at PDX etc.
Shutter:
The downfall of course would be the gap in time and locals no longer being locals that now live all over the country by now..
