Senor Licky,
ShAEffer is a very rare spelling. Do you perhaps mean ShEAffer? If so, do you mean former Illinois Supreme Court Justice Walter Sheaffer? Or perhaps Walter Sheaffer inventor of the fountain pen? Either way, both are dead now and I strongly believe neither have any place in the film we are producing. If in fact we did know "Mr. Shaeffer", we certainly wouldn't out him, any of our sources, or any of the principle protagonists here, or in any other medium. I'm sure you play by those standards also, correct?
For what it’s worth sir, we are not using real names in the film, but we are basing it upon fact. I’m only slightly offended by your suggestion for me to start my own thread, as obviously one can choose to ignore any posts here as they wish. I don’t believe from what I have read here that our film is a threat to your book project, as the entire theme as it were, appears to be from a different angle. The crash itself is the climax of our story. Some of what occurred after that is touched upon in the resolution, but that will be mostly voice over and a few minutes of film. This is not a story about the "gold rush".
As for me "outing" myself, I choose for numerous reasons not to put my name or number out here for everyone. My request for direct email in an earlier post has resulted in several contacts, and we will measure their validity and sincerity on a case by case basis.
In closing, as the "philosopher" Rodney King once said, “Can’t we just all get along?” I sincerely hope so. C.A.

This is one of my all time favorite threads. It's interesting, is not incessantly over posted, but keeps on living and popping up from time to time with new and interesting elements. Kind of a "The Making of..." before the thing is actually made. Maybe Jaybro is on to something.

jstan...yep, and I managed to find one of the four mechanics that
flew around North America after WWII looking for PV-1 Venturas
to bring back to Texas so they could use the parts in the Howard
500s. He had some great stories.
I also found the chief mechanic for this particular plane when it
was owned by the Republic Steel Company in Ohio back in the 50s.

Well remember that one of the wings was found in the trees as
well as there are still body parts laying in the area. Some were
found two summers ago.
The plane was upside down, nose high, fuselage broken

The bodies were recovered and together I guess you could say, one still strapped in his seat.
Butch Farabee dove the site and provided the FBI with finger prints
from the finger tips that were sent back to the FBI labs for I.D.
Uh...he did it months before the bodies were recovered

think several Lodestars would fit into that lake but would they
be able to sink completely? Maybe if broken into pieces.
