Thanks for the update Chaucer! Glad the site is still open for business 🧑💼! I am surprised by how quiet it has been here lately. Life gets busy, other priorities, ( usually family related) , such and such..... Also I was just wanting to make sure that I am still welcome here? Thanks again!
Chaucer:
Some sad news to report.
W. Wayne Walker aka Sluggo aka Sluggo Monster passed away on Dec. 27th, 2022. He was 74.
He envisioned his website as the library of the Cooper case and himself as the librarian. The contents of that website are still being used and referenced today and will likely be used for years to come. His overall contributions to the case cannot be overstated. His departure from the Vortex was, in my opinion, a tremendous loss.
RIP Sluggo.

Sad news indeed. I had always hoped for Sluggos return to the vortex. Thanks for the update.

I kept in touch with Sluggo with occasional email
exchanges over the years. I was really choked up
when he informed me he was on final approach. What a wonderful warm
intelligent person. It was he who first tipped me off about the aluminum
turnings and titanium found on the tie. He was very optimistic that this evidence would eventually solve the case.
I’ll sure miss him. RIP my friend.

ah sad to hear. we had our back and forths. He was confident his point of view on things would lead to great results.
Interestingly, the release of the FBI files trumped everything in terms of information. i.e. if the FBI files had been released earlier, there wouldn't have been so much wasted energy guessing about accuracy of minimal info.
The biggest problem in the early days was lack of information, and it was easy to believe all was rumor.
Still, I got the feeling of a real person on the other end of "Sluggo Monster" ...so he touched me and I'm sorry to see him gone.
