Welcome

[Rose]

Hello and welcome to the Hut

(Great Shades of Bletchley Park!)

Most of you know that I will be Linda’s research assistant and writing partner as she tells her own story. Yes it’s true. I am another of the famous Drake sisters fresh out of Philly. (Fresh out of the high desert, actually.)

I found the Townsend Brown story and this group of forum followers last year while searching for information on electro culture in organic farming. Google pointed me to the original discussion forum and I read Paul's book with ever-increasing excitement.

Of course I came away with a great curiosity about this woman named Linda Brown who had lived such an unusual life and documented it so incredibly well. But unlike most readers, I also came away with the certainty that the two of us must live within a short distance of each other.This turned out to be the case. For the next few months we met for occasional meals, during which we either tried to piece together episodes in Townsend Brown's life or tried to imagine the probable future of Defying Gravity.

What I knew about Linda that she didn’t know herself, was that she’s a great writer. As a semi professional writer who sometimes gets paid for what I do, I recognized her talent when l encountered her quoted journal entries in the pages of that first book. After Paul came to the conclusion that he had Epically Failed I encouraged her to pick up the banner and finish the task that seemed incomplete to us both and I am happy and honored to be part of the support network for this project.

For those with an interest in academic and professional qualifications, I have degrees in history and business administration and an ABD in Higher Education from the University of Michigan. I have been a logistics engineer, a systems analyst, a project manager, a college teacher and an instructional designer for an early distance education program that received an award from the Smithsonian Museum . Now I am a gardener and a Drake sister who is happy to be here.

A lot of collective effort went into pulling this forum together. My wonderfully talented husband, The Astrologer, loaned his graphics skills and fine eye to the website design. Raymond brought us his webmaster services, and Fred setup the forum itself. (Linda, Radomir, and I have just tried to keep out of the way of flying saws and hammers}. But none of this would have been possible without the support and encouragement of the anonymous benefactor who donated the site. I am deeply grateful to all of you for making this happen.

Welcome to all of the old and new friends who have found us. I am looking forward to continuing the discussions that we have kept rolling from forum to forum. If you have just joined us, please don't be shy about chiming in and introducing yourself.

YEA MARK MOODY. I was wondering when you would come on over to this site! Your first letter is still sitting on my desk so you are one of the absolute firsts on the list and yet .... you were not here! I was going to send you a PM but you beat me to it! Welcome! What fun we are all going to have!

I have been looking for extra pictures you might enjoy putting on your site .....

Glad you are here. Linda

An explanation to those new on this site. Mark Moody wrote to my Dad in the eighties asking for advice regarding his own research and for reasons I have never totally understood , Daddy struck up a correspondence with this young man and took a great interest in him. I have Marks original letter to Daddy here on my desk right now.... and it just sort of stays there to remind me that this is a long project but the potency of its importance never fades. Welcome Everyone Linda

DO YOU ALL REALIZE THAT THIS FORUM IS ONLY 23 days OLD?

I want to thank all of you for all of the hard work getting the quonset hut set up. I promise you that it will be positive and productive.

To those new members . Thankyou so much for joining us! But don't forget to throw your two cents in here for debate and discussion. I want to hear all sides. The only thing that I do ask is that we are polite to each other. Promote good clean intellectual food fights. Creme pie comments are great but lets not load up with sticks and stones....We all want to be standing upright at the end of this journey.

With Roses considerable talent in keeping me on target we are nearing the completion of the first five chapters of the rough draft of our book. I am partial to it , of course. I hope that soon we will be able to put another sample up on the public side for all of the newcomers to judge for themselves.

Welcome to "the Hut" Mark, I know you will enjoy your voyage!

To all, I am not 100% and experience enough "moments" that I am reluctant to place myself and others in jeopardy regardless of my driving skills. So I have been catching up with posts as I can manage sitting up to read the screen.

To Professor Bob, you just jump right in where you feel you have a question or input to what is being discussed here. I believe you have some interesting thoughts on the Biefeld-Brown Effect in particular to the "departure from Coulomb's Law" reference that Dr. Brown used to described the experiments observations.

Please do not answer me here, rather feel free to start a thread of your own. How about "Dr. Bob explains Biefeld-Brown Effect for high school science students" or something that rolls off the tongue more rapidly, I feel thirsty just typing that long-winded burst. Sorry, it's those sudden "Gotcha!"'s that take there toll on the mind as well as the body.

I shall retreat into my healing position and bid you all a loving and peaceful "G'night!"

[Linda Brown]

I note that we have many more new members this week and I want to personally invite you all to bring to this forum any questions that you may have about my fathers work or in fact any observations you find that you want to share with us.

Someone once said that we were like chimes responding to an invisible, magical breeze... each one of us moved somehow to reach a certain tone and all of us together have such a wonderful potential for music. Music that will be noted and will last for years!

Please let us hear from you! You might not realize how important your observations might be to someone else reading your words.

Some of you have actually told me that you have felt nearly compelled to join these discussions and yet none of us yet know what the end result of all of this will be. I am convinced that its the interaction between us all that is important and that at the end of the trail that we will travel together it will become apparent why we all needed to do this.

I am also convinced that the result will be a positive and a fruitful thing.

So join us! Jump In! The water is fine! Best to you all , and especially to you Fred, be well....... Linda

Someone once said that we were like chimes responding to an invisible, magical breeze

And would that breeze be possibly...ionic?

Sorry, couldn't resist! <g>

R.

[Linda Brown]

Oh, ha ha.

Here is an interesting observation for you Radomir. Deceptively simple observation with far reaching implications.

The ionic " Breeze" was always cooler than the surrounding air.
When used as a " loudspeaker" the listener could not tell the difference in the origin of the " sound". When you were 50 feet away from the fan/loudspeakers surface it sounded as if the "music" or whatever was being generated from just three feet away. If you walked directly to the front of the big loudspeakers ( big as the entire wall) and you put your nose right on the speaker fabric .... the sound still sounded as if it was coming from just three feet behind the unit.

When you figure out the why of that. Lets talk about it here. <g> Linda

[Radomir]

I am NOT an engineer, far far from it. But when thinking of this question, for some reason the image of fractal triangles comes to mind.

Mr. Vizza! This is your kind of question!
