But, I see you have not answered the obvious and important question that comes to mind: Since Keel’s book was the hook that got you involved in this field, when you were ten, at what age were you when you discovered you shared the same birthday?

Thank you Fuzzy for the MA books comment….

I read Keel’s book when I was a kid. I need to dig it out and reread it. Thanks for reminding us of it.

I bought John Keel’s book waaaay back in the early 70s… Chapter One’s Title, “A World Filled With Ambling Nightmares”, says it all, and I was hooked!

“They” say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but Keel’s Book and BOTH editions of Loren’s “Mysterious America” were irresistable to me, as were many others of the genre.

Oh, and Happy Happy, Craig.
