And I have lots of goodies to put up over the next few weeks, some of which are the Parry Moon correspondence, and the rest of the issues from the 1956 Understanding Newsletter!
Thanks to Bill Hamilton for keeping the 1956 Understanding year book in such great shape. It is already scanned in and I just have to OCR and convert it to HTML.
Thanks to Timothy Good for getting me some of the Parry Moon correspondence and sending me his copy of the 16mm film of the UFO that Daniel made. Will work to get that converted to DVD in the next month or so.
