Priscilla's Neighborhood, traces of George Bouhe, Ilya Mamantov, Thomas Devine

[Tom Scully]

(I dunno...is it supposed to be this tightly packed? After 54 years, does it even matter, anymore?)

Sea Cliff population in 1950 was less than 5,000 and Priscilla Johnson's family home,
Kaintuck Farm, was less than six miles away, in Mill Neck....pop. 976.

Alexander Daniloff was a signatory sponsor of George Bouhe's naturalization of U.S citizenship, in 1939.
Bouhe was of St. Petersburg.:
October, 1960:


Ilya Mamantov testified to the WC that his first employment in the U.S. was scheduling
production at Lion Match.

Thomas Devine's business partner, John Train, was the father-in-law of Paul Klebnikov.
Paul's father, George, was Alexander Daniloff's boss at the United Nations.:

In 1991, he married Musa Train, whom he had known since childhood (they have the same godfather). He married well, and certainly wealthy: Musa's father, John Train, was a major Wall Street banker. Musa and Paul moved into an apartment on the Upper West Side. At a housewarming party there, guests discussed the ...

The founder of Lion Match, Ambassador Boris Bakhmetev, was the boss of this man, who just
happened to reside earlier in the same, single family home as Alexander Daniloff.:


The last paragraph of the above article image indicates Serge Ughet missed by mere months the
opportunity to manage Ilya Mamantov, but it is clear they had mutual acquaintances.:

..Mr. JENNER. And prior to 1952, your employment was?
Mr. MAMANTOV. With the Donnally Geophysical Co. here in Dallas as seismologist.
Mr. JENNER. And over what period of time did that work extend?
Mr. MAMANTOV. It covers 1951, the summer of 1951 until the fall of 1955, when I took my present job.

Following the February Revolution of 1917 Karpovich went to work for the new Provisional Government. He met Boris A. Bakhmetev, future American Ambassador of Alexander Kerensky's government by chance on the Nevsky Prospect of Petrograd.[5] Bakhmetev persuaded Karpovich to join him on a "special mission" to America as his personal secretary. In May 1917 the pair left Russia for Washington, DC, where they established the Provisional Government's Embassy to the United States. Karpovich joined Bakhmetev with the understanding that his stay in the United States would be temporary and that he would be able to return home in time for Christmas of 1917.[5] Historical events intervened.

Career in America
Karpovich remained in this position of trust at the Russian embassy until the middle of 1922, at which time Karpovich moved to New York City to assist Bakhmetev with his activities there.[4] Karpovich also gave lectures on Russian history at a number of universities and made translations during this interval.[4]

In 1927, Karpovich began his long career in the history department of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

From 1946 until his death, Karpovich served as editor of the quarterly Novyi Zhurnal (New Magazine), an old school thick journal of serious Russian journalism and fiction.[4] Karpovich was also an active contributor to The Russian Review from its establishment in 1941, working closely via three-cornered correspondence with his co-editors, William Henry Chamberlin and Dimitri von Mohrenschildt.[6]....

Orthodox churches.:

An American of Russian ancestry, Boris Jordan assisted Russia's economic transition to capitalism in the early 1990s, assisting in the launch of the Russian stock market and the privatization of state assets.

No replies, so far.... Frazier's pesky car battery and his guesstimate of the size and texture of Oswald's
package are sucking up all the oxygen around here, I guess!

As incentive to read what follows, consider a couple of things.... Tom McCoy and Clark Clifford
law partner, Tom Finney, best friend of McCoy, were "lent" to the Gene McCarthy presidential campaign in March, 1968.
McCarthy's close friend and political advisor, Larry Merthan, had met Rita Chapowicki in Germany
as she worked as Bill Harvey's secretary. Rita is described below as knowing all of the secrets, including
the tunnel.....

Harvey's Berlin tunnel assistant, Hugh Montgomery, was two years behind Priscilla's first cousin
David C. Davenport at the tiny Windsor, CT boarding school, Loomis-Chaffee. Davenport's parents
resided in Santa Fe, NM, and he certainly did not commute to Loomis-Chaffee!

Look at Clark Clifford's sordid career after 1963! Including Chairman of BCCI.

Raymond Rocca in the first CIA Garrison Group Meeting stated that he thought Garrison would get a conviction against Shaw.  They decided they should inform certain people of the seriousness of the situation.  Obviously the first name they quoted was the Director.  Next was Hoover and then Clark Clifford, Yale Skull and Bones!!

Clark Clifford did not attend Yale and was not Skull and Bones.

Speaking of package ... I suggest you somehow re-package your research; my guess is the audiance has gone Zzzzzzzz.

I liked your write-up on Oswald's carrier though.

Good luck.

Pardon me, I don't get to choose what is entertaining to read.....if it is interesting and part of the story that unfolds in front of me, through my investments of time and attention to
detail, it gets posted. Consider the black and white photo, a couple of posts above, displaying the mystery man, Jerre, assigned to Marina and Priscilla by her cousin, David C Davenport,
described by WC witness Sam Ballen as Priscilla's cousin, a former CIA man.

Consider that Jerre Hastings spent autumn, 1964 driving and escorting Priscilla and Marina and in 1966 he is sued, along with David Davenport, for involuntary commitment to
a mental hospital in 1965 a woman who said she was his stepdaughter and Jerre was married to her mother  Marguerite McAdams, an aunt of Clark Clifford!

Q. Do you recall the name of the FBI agent?
A. Since I have been listening to the news and testified a few times, I think the name is Hastings, but as far as remembering the man being introduced by this name at the time, I do not.
Q. Is the name James Hosty, familiar?
A. Yes; that is familiar, that is the name of an associate with the man who came to the house with Ruth Paine.......

Frederick Whiley "Ted" Hilles (1900?1975) was Bodman Professor of English Literature at Yale University.
.....During the Second World War, Hilles served in intelligence with the United States Army rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was one of many American officers, mostly of an academic background, posted to England to work at the code-breaking centre at Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire. There, Hilles was in charge of the day-to-day operations of the MIS group in Hut 3 which was responsible for dissemination intelligence gleaned from Ultra to American channels as provided for by the agreement between the Americans and British of 7 May 1943. He lived at The Hunt Hotel at Linslade near Leighton Buzzard and drove daily to Bletchley and made frequent trips to Cambridge and London. The MIS unit at Bletchley was closed down in July 1945 and he subsequently wrote the history of it for the U.S. Government. His account was originally classed Secret but was declassified in 2012.[5][6]

Returning to civilian life at Yale, Hilles was promoted to full professor in 1948.[7].....
