- 2 - Memorandum to Jim Garrison - Cont'd. 2. White male, 5-6, early 50's, bald, tan complexion. Milligan brought these men to his base at Bayou Savage near Chef Menteur. The original Trans-Gulf log of July 11, 1965 was given to me and confirms the above. Several assorted photographs were shown to Milligan for possible recognition or identification. He selected one of Andrew Blackman and said he had seen this subject several times in the last three years around the Administration Building of New Orleans Lakefront Airport. Milligan then selected a photograph of Clay Shaw and said this was similar to one of the men he had picked up at Freemason Island for Ferrie. He said that when he arrived at the island these two men were in a small boat in the lagoon fishing and he taxied out to them to say they should hurry as a frontal system was approaching New Orleans. The taller of the two men sat in the rear of the plane. Milligan said he did not get a very good view of either of the men in a fully erect position. When they arrived at the seaplane base, Milligan left immediately and later learned his two passengers had afterwards been taken by car to the Lakefront Airport. Milligan is forty years of age and may be contacted at Trans- Gulf Seaplane, Service Corporation, Route 6, Box 287-AC, New Orleans, All records, logs and guest registers on Freemason Island were destroyed by Hurricane Betsy on September 9, 1965. The fishing camp re-opened in April, 1966. William Gameich .
