Skeptic Benjamin Radford’s comment:
I hope this will quell the Bigfoot apologists who say that the reason there’s no hard evidence for Bigfoot is that no one is funding the research.
Pondering the life of another wealthy individual who had decided to put his money behind the search for Bigfoot and Yeti in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I once wrote:
Thomas Baker Slick, Jr., was raised in a family atmosphere that encouraged him to explore the cutting edge of many subjects. He was willing to take risks, tell people what he really thought, and choose a different path from others. He had the passion and money to pursue things that made him curious, and he did. Yet his uniqueness was sometimes misunderstood. Such was the life of a revolutionary, a pioneer.

very interesting new article about the bfro. thanks bill green
Like I said on the other post. Doesn’t Ben ever have anything nice to say ? Or does he just like stirring the pot ?
Man, I wish I was rich. I’d start my own research group. I’d start by getting the right people involved. People that aren’t looking to make a buck. Ones that are actually seeking the truth. People like Loren & Jeff. Heck I’d even back Radford if I believed he would do some real research.
Are we sure that’s not Dan Akroyd in makeup from the film “Nothing But Trouble”?
Dear Ben Radford,
The thing is that the MM funding is all the funding there is and everyone knows MM is hopeless as a “principal investigator.” So for all intents and purposes there is no funding for BF research. That problem stands.
The name really says it all, doesn’t it? Moneymaker. I wish I could be confident that all that money would actually go into research. As it stands, well, I’m skeptical.
Congratualtions and Kudos to Wally and Adrian…for their patient contributions of time and treasure…furthering the legacy of Tom Slick’s efforts.
live and let live…
