II.  Summary of Contact:

     5/4/78  11:20 -- No answer 
     5/5/78  4:15  -- reached Mrs. Closson.  Note the above address is correct -- she typed the autopsy report and the supplemental report.  She was the secretary to Ad. [sic] Galloway; worked at the National Naval Medical Center.  She couldn't read the writing of Humes so Humes read the report to her.  She had never typed an autopsy report before only did do this time because the Navy needed a typist with a top secret clearance.  She typed it on Sunday, she believes; and the supplemental report a few days later.  She has no other involvement or experience with the autopsy. Not present at the autopsy.
