The Killing of John Lennon: A Bumpy Ride Through Chapman's Mind

Though a fan of John Lennon, I've not seen the film. An interesting alleged fact arose the other day during my temporary work on the archaeological clearance of part of the very wooded Iwo Jima Trail part of the Officer Candidate School (OCS) trails of the US Marine Corps facility at Quantico, Virginia this last month:

"The late John Lennon once considered purchasing the island for his home" and also under the Wikipedia entry for Chopawamsic: "Chopawamsic island is the only island within the territorial boundaries of the Commonwealth of Virginia on the Potomac River." It's right next to the USMC Quantico airfield where the US President's helicopter "Marine One" is based. It's listed online for $25 million. I read he also once considered Bellport, Long Island, NY for his home.
