At the time I never paid any attention to the zodiac case. I was aware that a serial killer was on the loose in the bay area but I didn’t know any of the details about any of the murders. I was just to busy trying to complete my education.
I remember that there was some mention that the Bates murder was a possible zodiac victim but the Riverside PD went out of their way to debunk this connection. At the time I simply took their word that they must know what their doing and who am I to question their competence. I forgot all about the zodiac and it wasn’t until I just happened to watch the movie "Zodiac" a couple of months ago that I saw something that just left me stunned. I was not aware that the killer had sent ciphers to the police and the media. When the ciphers showed up on the screen a huge CLICK went off in my head. I HAD SEEN THOSE EXACT CIPHER CHARACTERS years earlier on a desktop in the old RCC library and the Bates murder had taken place less than 200 feet away.

Welcome aboard,always good to get info from people living close to the case.
By the way, did you know Cheri Jo Bates,or her friends, or do you know of any possible fellow students of hers that might have been considered a suspect by fellow students?

If Zodiac ever joined a Z forum, I’m sure he would have been banned for not following forum rules. Zam’s/Quote

No I did not know her. Ramona had a large student body and she was a year ahead of me. After graduation everyone went their own separate ways and I had very little contact with former Ramona students.
Love it out there! Beautiful country for sure.
Good to have you with us. Beautiful photographs…they look like paintings! We might have some amateur radio questions for you.

Welcome aboard ANO.
As others have said, very nice intro.

Hi A.N. other
Do you have any photos or memorbilia, books ,etc. from the 67-69 RCC days ?
May be I am wrong but it seems no one from 66-67 RCC days has participated in a Zodiac forum

"Do you have any photos or memorbilia, books ,etc. from the 67-69 RCC days"?
All yearbooks from Ramona H.S. can be found at www.classmates.com
So No …I guess
AAALL Righty TThen
I may be totally wrong here but, I think Ace was asking in a polite way if you have any personal effects that you could maybe show on this thread that are not available on the internet or to the general public at large?
Would that be a fair suggestion to make Ace? If that isn’t at all what your question inteded to imply then I apologize in advance and it is just the way my Cynical mind see’s things lol.

Fabulous shots Jim.
When I was a designer we did a lot of tourism work. I can tell you we would have been clambering over each to get shots like those.
