Hey everybody,
I know I have been pretty much AWOL for the past couple of weeks, and I do apologize for that.
My "bandwidth" has been kind of sucked up this past couple of weeks with some old news. With the opening of the big-whoop play on Broadway next week, I needed to do some advance work, for the benefit of the few people who will leave the theater thinking "wait a second, something's not quite right here. For them I have created a new website:

Check it out and you'll see what I mean.
This fiasco is what has happened when "Hollywood" has tried to make entertainment out of a story when the facts are know. Imagine what could happen if they ever get their hands on a story like this one, where so much is UNknown. Fiction starts sounding better all the time.
As for the next chapter: as has been the case with nearly every chapter so far, this one is also proving to be harder than the one before it. Yes, it is all about Dr. Brown's trips to Europe in the summer of 1955 and late winter of 1956. There is really very little known about his actual itinerary, other than the arrival and departure dates in his passport, which show Paris and London. But we know that he was in at least one other country, and that one doesn't even show up on the passport. Go figger.
So Linda Brown and I have been tossing around all the possibilities and maybe yesterday came up with an approach that will let us crawl under the wall that's formed around this material. Lord knows I'll be scratching and clawing at the stones until I find a way in....
In the meantime:

Well, you know, it's technology. Sometimes it doesn't work. And then it does. And you never know why. Of course, maybe your messages were siphoned off into that "secret room" that has been in the news this week:

So ... trying again ...... Dr. Brown is heading now for Europe from what others have said and in the company of whom? Did he make the trip himself? I find that strangely disturbing and probably not so. Bergier? Did he pay for the trip? Did Sarbachers outfit pay for it? Hey, I'm just trying to follow the money. Dr. Brown is broke remember! Laundry and stuff. Fluff and fold?
Or did he sell that to finance his trip? New business? I don't think he would have made much ... so where did the money come from?
What is making matters challenging in the assembly of this chapter is that these trips to Europe turn out to have manifold purposes, and the details of most of them are pretty much non-existent. We know about the vacuum chamber tests in France. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. Literally. The rest is very sub-surface.
The trip was paid for by The Caroline Group, more or less, and it's quite possible that Bergier/Cornellion was a traveling companion. That info doesn't show up on passports either, unfortunately.
I'm not sure what became of the laundry business in Washington, once it had served its purpose. Somebody snapped their fingers and it disappeared.
OK . Lets see if this gets through. Victoria
Yes, obviously, that one got through, and I wish I could tell you what the glitch was. I"m just glad to see the problem corrected itself.
Now, guys and gals, would you all do me a small favor?
I see that the posting in this section are now what, 14 or 15 pages? I know that you have all posed questions, made points, etc., and that by being AWOL all this time I've missed some important stuff. So shoot me either an e-mail or a Private Message here and send me the URLs of the posts I should be paying closer attention to, and I promise I'll get right on it.
Does that sound reasonable?
Thanks,
