It was at one of the training camps that Lee Oswald was seen, and filmed, with an 8mm home movie in the summer of 1963, which was found in the Georgetown University Library. Beckham once flew to Miami with Arcacha and Louis Rabel with a large suitcase of money and delivered it to Eugenio Martinez, a future Watergate burglar along with E. Thomas Beckham, a runner for David Ferrie, Banister, Clay Shaw, Sergio Arcacha, and Grady Durham, told the HSCA that Ferrie came to meetings at Banister's office dressed in his green fatigues directly from the training camps at the Lake. He told HSCA investigators that Sergio Arcacha Smith spent a lot of time at the camps, and that many of the guns used for training the exiles were furnished by the Mardi Gras Corporation. He's associated with the office." Campbell said that Banister worked closely with Ray Huff of the CIA. Banister replied, "Don't worry about him. One one occasion, Campbell overheard Banister's secretary, Delphine Roberts, tell Banister that she saw Oswald handing out pro-Castro leaflets on a street corner. On July 24, a group of anti-Castro Cubans from Frank Sturgis' International Anti-Communist Brigade (Miami) arrived in New Orleans and joined one of the training camps on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.Īl Campbell worked as an investigator for Guy Banister in 1958, 1959, 19 gathering information on suspected communist groups in the City. According to Rene Carballo, a Cuban refugee living in New Orleans, one or more of the camps were run by "El Mexicano" (Francisco Rodriguez Tamayo), a Cuban exile who formerly resided in Miami. In the summer of 1963 there were as many as six Cuban exile training camps and weapons bunkers on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. We know for a fact that Oswald knew members of the Minutemen and that they were friendly, but we don't know if he was a member or just how close he was to them. The Minutemen also embraced Oswald as one of their own, but it is uncertain if he was ever officially a member of the group. The groups had camps around the area (as well as several other areas around the country) where they would hold training exercises, including Lake Pontchartrain where Oswald trained with some Minutemen. It's not certain what he meant by that, but more than likely he meant the Minutemen, who (along with a group of Cubans) were using Bannister's office as a meeting place. Guy Bannister, a known member of the Minutemen, had stated "he's with us" in reference to Oswald.
