Ah yes,Mr.Dick Gillespie
I have mentioned this blowhard a couple of times here on wix.The name Dick is so appropriate.How this blowhard got himself and his band of bozo's legitimized in the eyes of the mainstream media is beyond me,It shows beyond the shadow of a doubt what the state of the media truely is today.We all should remember how he and his merry band went to the island of Nikamororo(?) in the south Pacific,stumbled around in the intense equitorial sun(something that you must experience to believe,very intense,believe me)found a couple of scraps of aircraft aluminum and the heal of an old womans shoe and then announced to the world that he had solved the mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance!I remember watching the T.V. special where he displayed his "evidence" and thinking to myself"that's it?that's all?he's full of sh-t!.This is just one example of his B.S. and dellusions of grandeur.He's nothing but a con man.no more,no less. Tim

ECT ECT ECT .THIS CAME AS SEVERAL PAGES OF B.S RESTRICTING ANY IDEA OF OWNING A FLYABLE A/C .IF THIS IS YOUR IDEA OF BEATING THE NAVY WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT WITH ALOT OF SUPPORT AND LEGAL HELP HE MAY END UP WITH THE CORSAIR BUT IT LOOKS TO BE FAR FROM OVER.THE MEETING IN PENSACOLA HAS BEEN SET FOR APRIL 22-24 I NEED TO KNOW WHO WANTS TO BE INVOLVED THAT CAN HELP STOP THIS TWISTED VIEW OF PRESEVATION E-ME AT HELLDIVERS@AOL.COM THANKS MIKE
