ADELE EDISEN
After reading her story in the Third Decade Magazine
– that she wrote under an alias, I checked out her allegation that she first
met Dr./Col. Jose Rivera (USAR) at an Atlantic City medical convention, and
confirmed that convention did indeed take place at AC Convention Hall, where
the JFK statute is now located on the boardwalk.
From there I confirmed almost
everything she said, and through Dick Russell, even got a picture of Rivera at
Fort Ditrick, Md.
I also confirmed that Rivera’s military unit – ASCI –
Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence was engaged in early MKULTRA research
at Ditrick.
Not Cuban, Rivera was born in Lima, Peru. His longest military
assignment was in New Orleans, where he taught at Loyola. The only thing I
couldn’t confirm was Edisen’s call to Oswald at his New Orleans residence the
first week he arrived there in April 1963.
Edisen said Rivera gave her the
phone number weeks before Oswald himself knew he would be living there, so how
did Rivera know that number?
I came to know Adele personally over the years,
met her in Dallas, believe her, and was sorry to hear she passed away.
