Dear Dallas,

Please forgive the tardiness of this reply. I am in the tour business and 
travel quite a lot this time of the year. Last April, you asked me the 
questions above. I take this opportunity to answer.

I have only read one of the books by Emmanuel Velikovsky. It was quite some 
time ago but it did make an impression on me. " Worlds in collision" was the 
title, as I recall. 

As for the works of Charles Fort. I have been interested in fortean phenomena 
since 1968. His catalog of obscure articles from newspaper files in the 
libraries he frequented, is a contribution to students of occult phenomena 
that will never be repaid. Another group who did similar work in through the 
1970s was Ivan Sanderson's Society for the investigation of the unexplained. 
(SITU.) Are you familiar with their work?

Louis
