2014 article commenting on a 1966 article in Nightimes complete with 1966 pics (the classic one with CJB included). Interesting quote. Somewhere these Nightimes magazines have been scanned in but we haven’t managed to find a copy yet. Full newer article with pics here: https://www.rccd.edu/Documents/RCC%20Co … 7_2014.pdf

"On page 6, Harry Bach (Associate Professor, College Librarian 1962-1972) was interviewed for an article about the declining number of night students using the RCC Library. He felt that one of the factors for this drop in usage was the fact that evening students were frequently on campus only one night each week and had less time to devote to library research. Bach noted that the present (1966) overcrowded environment at the Library may have made it uncomfortable and factored in students not using the facility more frequently. Because of these conditions, Bach said that oversize books, biographies and most bound periodicals were located in a former residence near the northwest corner of the Quadrangle. He noted that the cottage was “facetiously” called “Harvard” by the Library staff. Library hours in the main College Library were 7:45am to 10pm Monday through Thursday and from 7:45am to 4:30 pm on Fridays. On Sundays the Library was open from 1 to 5pm and 6 to 9pm. Below is a chart provided by Bach to illustrate the decline in usage of the Library by night students."

It is claimed that Ross took out books on cryptography and took classes on it at RCC, how true is this?

Is there any way to know his actual alibi for the night of the killing of CJB?

Is there anything linking Ross to Napa, Vallejo, Benecia, or SanFran?

I know he was interested in film, but was he into acting or amateur dramatics or was he more into writing and directing?

Do people think DeGroat saw Ross?  The dates on the article about her: she says 3-4 months after LHR but also says “both LHR and BRS had taken place” so which is it?
