JOHN F. KENNEDY AND COWBOY BILL IN STRANGE CONNECTION

Fascinating additional information has been  supplied by Melbourne journalist Kim Lockwood  about  the   Darwin character Cowboy Bill  whose photograph recently appeared in  this  blog in relation to  Northern Territory News  editor Jim  Bowditch.  Kim says Cowboy Bill , who  died   more  than  a decade ago, went  under  the  name of   Bill Goss . However , he  changed it to  Bill Garrison , the  New Orleans Attorney-General who  believed  JFK's assassination  had  been  the result of  a  conspiracy . The  name  change  could  have  been  due to the fact that "they"-tax-may have  been after him . Another Cowboy  Bill anecdote  comes to mind . When  journalist  Peter Blake, now in New York ,  and  this  writer  produced two  spoofy  publications, Fannie Bay Whisper and  Troppo  in   Darwin , Cowboy  Bill, the  great joker , became stroppy  when  he was  made  the  subject of  a  mild  joke.
