She preserved his files. For reasons unknown to me, she knew Bob Girard very well, and trusted him as a truly caring person about things in the world of anomalies {she was correct about that}, and upon her death willed the files to him. Bob Girard was a book dealer in UFO and anomalous phenomena literature, and so he naturally went about trying to find a home for the files while supporting his business at the same time. He advertised the files {unfortunately} in three pieces. One was the George Adamski material. A second was a file on the alleged Solex Mal language. Lastly was the bulk of the about four filing cabinets of materials on everything else. The Adamski and Solex Mal materials were sold before I knew about what Bob was doing. But I did purchase the bulk to preserve it for future researchers. Bob was a friend and was very happy that they were going to someone who would actually care about them "in perpetuity". <br /><br />Not having the Adamski piece does emasculate the collection a little, but not as much as one would think. Nevertheless, persons visiting the collection will not find highly organized materials {usually} nor easy answers to their questions. Digging is required and a commitment to synthetic intellectual work. I have one correspondent who continually asks me for "little favors" with no concept whatever as to the hassle he's requesting. The collection is visitable in person by any responsible individual who wants to come to Kalamazoo when I am in residence {which now that Mom has passed is the vast majority of the time}. I need some warning about this. As to e-mail addresses: professional courtesy would have brought YOU to the opinion that it is YOUR job to inform me of your address, not mine to publish my own. This omission concerns me a little.

It interested GHW because he viewed most of that stuff as remnants of the ancient "Atlantaean" elder race. GHW called that South American civilization "Paititi" and went searching for that as well. I don't think that he ever connected that with Landone's Venezuelan claim, however.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-15613469952702402902011-03-10T12:16:27.621-08:002011-03-10T12:16:27.621-08:00"Landone claimed that a [unnamed] traveler ha..."Landone claimed that a [unnamed] traveler had seen the Venezuelan Shangri-la in 1925."<br /><br />1925 is the same year that Percy Fawcett disappeared into the jungles of Brazil while searching for the Lost City of Z. But I doubt that is related to Shangri-La.<br /><br />Anyway, a number of anthropologists/archaeologists have been saying that there was a large civilization in the Amazon, nothing like Shangri-La of course, but impressive nevertheless. However, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/05/AR2010090503740_pf.html" rel="nofollow">The Washington Post</a> tells us that the missionary Gaspar de Carvajal claimed to see "cities that gleamed white" along with the more prosaic "canoes that carried dozens of Indian warriors, 'fine highways' and 'very fruitful land.'" They've found the fruitful land, the fine highways and the Indian warriors are a given so who knows what else is out there?Ericnoreply@blogger.com
