http://thisisthewilderness.com/old-index.php?daksldlkdsadas=1 John responds to Lynn Catoe, obviously exasperated with the “absurd uproar” between her and Ivan Sanderson, and upset with her reaction to Sanderson. He’s none too happy with the “screwy business” of ufology either. And who can blame him?
John had a point about the paranoia running rampant in the UFO community but I still don’t know why he he makes excuses for Sanderson. Didn’t that guy had a reputation for trolling his audience?

Funny to see John as the calm one seeing others as paranoid.

It’s all relative. Everyone is someone else’s weirdo.

John told me that when Sanderson gave a talk, and someone asked a question, he would make up something rather than admit he didn’t know the answer. But he was lively, generous, and charismatic, and many people were fond of him, including John. In 1967, as John says in these letters, Sanderson was having a hard time, and he was worried about him.
