BTW, I just rediscovered this thread from a while back.... you might want to take a look here for addition info: " What Wilson Didn’t Say About Africa: Joseph Wilson's Silent Partners"

Wow,
This fills in the blanks nicely for his second wife Jacqueline Wilson. It's a long read but a great one for anyone looking to get to the bottom of it all. Fedora put together an excellent piece.
