Another point. I seem to remember J.J noting that RFG was seen in town. I have two theories. One is that there are lawyers offices on both St Mary's and St John's streets. Were any of these lawyers friends or classmates of RFG? Might be a nice research project for one of us. Second, there is another large Antiques Mall the "Roller Mills" located 10 blocks West of the SOS. I did not get a chance to go in, but it is on my list for the next trip.

This could have been a secondary spot to visit during RFG's stay in town. It is visible from Rt15 as the red paint on the exterior does not completely hide the Purina Feed sign painted underneath.
As far as I know, the only Lewisburg reports were either driving toward the SOS or adjacent to Water Street. I have heard a source say that RFG (in the Mini) was seen on the east side of the Susquehanna, but I don't know the details or even if the sighting was ruled out; I take it with a grain of salt.
All that said, TG indicated that there was a restaurant RFG liked someplace east of the Susquehanna; nobody remembered seeing him there on 4/15. He did know about that area. There is a May's Drive-in about 150' south of that intersection; it has a parking lot and is easily visible from the intersection. RFG could have turned there or even drive a mile to Montandon and turn there. I'm not seeing that a barrier (no pun intended) to RFG crossing the river, turn around
someplace, recross the Susquehanna.
The state does list the lawyers in Lewisburg. 70 are listed, including deceased, but about half can be eliminated. 3 are for Lewisburg, WV, and a sizable portion are either not in private practice, i.e. they work for Bucknell, or the Penitentiary, or were not lawyers on 4/15/05. None of them have an office on either of those streets. There are a number within walking distance on Market Street.

Now, that doesn't show any that were there on 4/15/05, and moved.
If RFG met an attorney, on what was a clandestine trip, I would it very suspicious, especially if the lawyer didn't tell the police that RFG had been there.
