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.

“But labor of the hands, even when pursued to the verge of drudgery, is perhaps never the worst form of idleness. It has a constant and imperishable moral, and to the scholar it yields a classic result.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
