David Ferrie
David William Ferrie (March 28, 1918 – February 22, 1967) was an American pilot who was alleged to have been involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.
New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison claimed to have proven Ferrie's involvement in an assassination plot, and furthermore that Ferrie knew Lee Harvey Oswald. Ferrie denied such involvement and claimed to have never met Oswald. Decades later photos emerged establishing that Ferrie had been in the same Civil Air Patrol unit as Oswald in the 1950s, but critics have argued this does not prove that Ferrie or Oswald was involved in any assassination plot.

Famous quotes containing the word david:
“I lay awake awhile, watching the ascent of the sparks through the firs, and sometimes their descent in half-extinguished cinders on my blanket. They were as interesting as fireworks, going up in endless, successive crowds, each after an explosion, in an eager, serpentine course, some to five or six rods above the tree-tops before they went out.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
