This post made earlier today about Meyer as already been past over, so I thought I would post it her as well.....
Robert99 contacted me through a PM stating he has spoken with Meyer Louie. they wanted me to post his comment on the forum.
I would like to add a few things before I paste his reply. I have a lot of respect for Meyer, I read a lot of his comments on DZ prior to even speaking with him personally. he has a lot of knowledge, and was always involved with any road trips about Cooper. he joined this forum when it first started, but had some personal issues to take care of which anyone could easily understand. we all have a life outside of good old DB Cooper.
I'm glad you have made a full recovery, and hope you continue to have good health for many years ahead. I hope to meet you one day. I believe you share the same sense of humor I have, making it to be a meeting to remember.
As for the Atlas Media dealings. yes, I've done the Skype thingy twice with them, and will be doing another this Tuesday. it appears they are not leaving any rocks unturned.
I'll be looking forward to seeing your name at the bottom of this forum as an active member soon, but please continue to get better, and we all miss you here.....

Message below is from Meyer Louie....."The Man Of the Month"
Robert99 and all my DB Cooper colleagues:
It's taken me a year to reply. Sorry for the delay. I missed y'all a lot. Been busy trying to make living in a new area and get healthy again. I live in eastern Washington now, the Okanogan valley, north central washington. I took a math teaching job with Wenatchee Valley College. It didn't work out. So, I am looking to be gainfully employed again -- back to the drawing board.
Also, a year and a half ago, I had a stroke in my right eye, what's called a retinal vein occlusion. Lost about 70% of my eye sight, but with treatment, I have gotten 99% of it back. Lots of annoying floaters to deal with though, but at least I have most of my right eye sight back. I still sing and oil paint.
Enough about me -- got some new stuff regarding the case. This morning, I did a skype interview with Mark Dalbis, casting manager for Atlas Media, Burbank, CA. Mark is trying to develop a quality program about the Cooper case, lots of people are still interested and intrigued, and he wants to talk to several of us who have some knowledge and expertise in the case. A quality documentary production is in the offing. I must admit, I wasn't as sharp as I would have liked, I was rusty on names, dates, and facts -- I've been away too long. I did my best though -- I told Mark I believe my strength is more in the relationships and friendships I have kindled with all you -- my DB Cooper friends and colleagues. I have made a serious attempt to get to know and interact with as many of you as I have been able. It's been good, it's been rich -- the DZ forum, the WA state history museum DB Cooper exhibit, the 2011 symposium, several field trips to Tina Bar and Amboy with Bruce and Robert99, marathon phone conversations with Jo -- and on and on. Mark appears to be a straight up guy. He told me he would be willing to talk to Jo, Georger, Shutter, Safecrack, and Brian Ingram -- if you would like. You may get your 15 minutes of fame. When he edits down the interviews, there's a better than not chance you will be appearing on the program -- which Mark is hoping the History Channel or Dateline or whoever will pick up the production and broadcast it. Mark stressed he wanted the production to be correct, quality information.
Has anyone else done an interview with Mark Dalbis?
So good to be back. I missed you!
Meyer
