Ferrie was a freakie guy. And wasn't he some kind of currier/pilot for the mob in Cuba?
Ferrie was Oswald's commander in the Civil Air Patrol in the mid 1950s and there is even a picture of both of them which has been authenticated. There is no proof, however, that they continued an association once Oswald joined the marines. Later, Ferrie ran guns to anti-Castro groups and operated out of an office on 544 Camp Street (as did Bannister). One of Oswald's Fair Play for Cuba committee flyers had a stamp with the Camp Street address.
Ferrie was a freaky guy....but apparently quite intelligent and charismatic. I hate to say it but had he lived he would have probably become an avid Freeper.
