Anybody here in southern CA? I am wondering if somebody may be able to go into the RCC Library and look thru old books, maybe find some signs of who checked them out, or if they have any handwritten notes in back of them like where the checkout card would be. I know Ross worked in the library, not sure what he did, but I seem to recall he did something with the checkout process, maybe his writing is floating around there??

I’m in Southern CA, but I’m not sure when I’d be able to get out to Riverside. I could try in April, but how do you think I would know if it was Ross’s handwritting? Even old style of book signouts just had the person’s name that signed it out, typically in the handwritting of the person that signed it out and a date stamp.

Sorry, I don’t know how to size the attachment.

Awesome. Maybe you may see his name someplace, like on a card. I actually am waiting to hear back from two people on the current staff to see what help we can get,

Found your missing ‘m’ but you aint gonna like it.

Why wouldn’t we like it?

It was from a fake 1986 letter.

The citizen card is close:

Ask the current staff if any of the books still have the old slips in them or if there are any other old documents that they would allow access to. Even if they do not have time, maybe they would set them aside for me to go through.

Well …. like it less, lets say, than if it had been from a contemporary & confirmed Zodiac communication rather than unconfirmed and 1986.

I think we should stick to confirmed Z letters

Traveller which unconfirmed letter was it?
Thanks

Still confused, what does this have to do with Ross?

On Ross’s SS application he uses a M that is not found in the Zodiac writings.

(in the previous posts) trav jokes that it matches a letter that is considered fake and mailed after Ross had died.

I pointed out it could actually match the citizen letter M’s.

Ahhhh. Sorry I completely failed to take into account that Ross was ‘expired’ by that point. I just thought it was interesting that it was presented as a Zodiac communication and it was the only one to have that ‘m’. Completely irrelevant, to this POI discussion I now realize. I wouldn’t have posted it even as a curio if I’d considered that.

Ok thanks. I am sitting here, so frustrated by the really bad quality of the ss application. I wish I could get more writing. I contacted SS to see if they can send me a digital or clearer copy, but have not heard back yet. There must be writing out there for him.

By the way Trav,I know I missed it, but I am sure you have it in your back pocket Do you have a list of all numbers written by Z?

Naturally.

Might need to update it as I bitmapped the whole thing for comp purposes but hopefully this will suffice for now.

This is too small -but here is an "m" from the bus bomb letter.
Its from the word "time" in the sentence "…when I do my thing, the rest of the time…"

Bus bomb letter is confirmed, and I think this "m" bears some resemblence to Ross’s SS application "m".

(I posted the image a few pages back)

Also — someone on the forum suggested that there might be handwriting on the spine of the books, or wherever they used to use the white ink (the librarians commented about Ross’s use of this.) I’m guessing this was during the cataloging of new books. It would be hard to know who wrote on them when, but if there are still any books that were received by the library in 1966, that might give a window.

I think it’s been mentioned before, but we know that Ross shares Zodiac’s habit of odd spacing in his words

These are the most interesting and compelling similarities I see between Ross & Zodiac when their writing is compared
