We heard about the dinner Mrs. Bowers hosted yesterday on April 19, 2004. What makes this dinner significant was that was when Ford got involved in the Tennessee Waltz operation.
According to Caroll, Bowers organized the dinner by inviting who she thought "leaders" would be, but she didn't pay for it. E-Cycle did. The dinner happened at Morton's Steakhouse in Nashville.
Senator Ford happened to be one of the leaders invited to the dinner. Caroll says he didn't know who Senator Ford was prior to that dinner. He also says that the agents had never mentioned Ford to him before.
Along with John Ford, both Turner and Charles Love became subjects of the investigation after this dinner.
