Stephen Hawking already spent 9 months of his life on Bigfoot. Who here lives in England and can figure out how to contact him? Mr. Hawking most likely has never heard of the TBRC, and consequently would not be contacting anybody there. He also has a full dance card, so does not likely spend time thinking about how to take away the mystery of the Bigfoot. But he might be able to offer about 5 minutes of good advice, which I am betting, will save a lot of TBRC people, a lot of wasted time.

After hearing so much about people like Tom Biscardi, it is so good to hear stuff like this. I hope these guys have a fruitful future. I personally think they have the best chances of anybody out there. TBRC, I wish you well & I think allot of people are rooting for you guys. When I read about the TBRC my hope is given a boost that maybe somebody can get to the bottom of it all. I think they just need time and money. Who knows? Maybe somebody will get them the money they need so they can put people out around the clock in the right places. They do seem to be on the right track and spend allot of time out (as volunteers go anyway).

I didn’t know much about the TBRC before I came to this site and I am pleased to see there is such a wide range of professionals involved with the research they are doing. This kind of scientific talent is absolutely essential to a project like this. I am impressed with the work they are doing.

Kathy,

The TBRC is very much indebted to you and your much needed help and advice. I think you qualify as quite the “godmother” of this new organization. Thank you.

Here’s to the future, and discovery, and working with you, Kathy Strain.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Duly noted.

Ain’t money always the rub?

Just try to keep the best features of the old site on the new one, particularly your piece on habitat and the associated sightings maps. Great examples of applying science to point out patterns.

I’m still waiting for somebody to do that with the animal’s appearance as presented across the spectrum of sighting reports. John Bindernagel seems like the guy, as he’s already pointed out that they’re eerily consistent – for something that doesn’t exist, I mean.

Daryl,
Ads would be great. But what would be more “eye catching” and probably get you more hits would be to see if you could get one of the writers for these magazines to do a story on the TBRC that would appeal to the readers of these magazines, perhaps focusing on the conservancy angle(?).
There is still a “silly season” attitude among most editors regarding these types of stories, so caution and care would be advised in going this route, but no one is going to make any new progress “preaching to the choir” in FT or Fate or a similar mag, great as they all are. Plus, if even one credible outdoorsperson decided to come forward with his or her story after learning of the TBRC in a “legitimate” outdoor magazine, I think it would be worthwhile.

DWA: it’s something that some of us have discussed in the past (outdoors or hunting publications in particular). However, we have other needs (expenses) that seem more pressing. Perhaps it may be done at some point in the future, if we ever could get to a point where we have sufficient operational funds.

I’m not “in the know” as a lot of you are. I didn’t even know there was a Texas Bigfoot group! I just know what I’ve read in books (sometimes very skeptically, I might add) and some from those I’ve talked to who have had or are very familiar with bigfoot encounters. But I think this is great! I’m all in favor of groups who take an intelligent approach to the question of any cryptid. Good luck to you all.
