Boesch once flew with

him over a seminary north of Lake Ponchatrain and Ferrie mentioned

chat he was elther a priest at one time or that he had studie

or the priesthood. Boesch

thought that he might have indicated

that he went to that seminary to study.

Boesch

stated

that

Ferrie had his own plane at the time and was doing well.

Ferrie

was very intelligent and to Boesch's knowledge he never

had any

tendercies towards homosexuality.

Boesch was surprised to

learn later from others that Ferrie had drinking parties at

his home and about some of the other things he herad about.

Boesch left the CAP around 56-7 and did not hear of any of

'the

Cuban issues or Ferrie's troubles with the airlines until

much later.

Boesch remembers Ferrie as a decent sort of guy

that was interested in flying and teaching flying to kids.

FERRIE and Boesch went to the MOisant Squadron to help

them get started with a lAP program.

Ferrie did not like the

idea of girls learning anything about flying.

He was even

against them being in the CAP.

Boesch went to Moisant for

two or three months and remembers seeing LEE HARVEY OSWALD

there.

He can remember because there were only 12-15 people

at those meetings as opposed to sometimes 60-80 at Lakefront.

Boesch did

him as quiteft have any social contact with OSWALD but remembers

He remembers others by faces but can not put

names to them because they did not gain the notoriety that

Oswald did.

He ean not place Oswald and Ferrie together at any

other place then these meetings.

Boesch last FERRIE when he (Boesch) was driving a public

service bus.

Ferrie was handing out leaflets on Canal st.

and Elks Place and he waved to Boesch after seeing him. Boesch

didn't know what the leaflets were about but later saw on

television that this group (others unk! was handing out leaf-

lets

about Cuba. He can not remember if they were around the

same time as Oswald was arrested.

Boesch

stated that he never visisted Ferrie's apartment

on Atherton

I Drive or on Louisiana Ave.

He had no knowledge

of the parties that went on there.

He suggested that the

'ollowing might be able to help us: James Lewallen, from Dave':
