SuANnge, Cvery year, on Che gunisensary of
his escape, the towns and villages in that
area throw a “D.B. Cooper Celebration” to
Lonor him for, well. for something! They
appreciate him, though one can only
speculate as to why, and there scems to bea
genuine hope thatthe feds never cath him,

Apparently, Cooper wrote to Metrawich
asking about getting outol the county ind
escaping to South Africa, His initial
contact, however, had bern with Thomson,
who had directed him to Metrowich. Was
Thomson collaborating with hijacker
Couper to help hint get outol the country?
Or was ‘Thomson unware that a hijacker
seven years earlier had been named D.B.
Cooper? Whatever the answer, did
‘Thomyon, or any of the others report this
correspondence to the FR Dis any good law-

both the Bureau and offices of these
gentlemen reveals they did not.
