safe place to buy provigil online John intended these photos for the Newsletter, but didn’t put them in the tenth issue, and that was the last one he printed. He typed out captions for them, which I attach to the proper photo. It’s a good thing I recognize these people. I don’t recognize the man with Dr. Grosso, though; maybe somebody out there can identify him.

Photos from the New York Fortean Society
John published a number of photos in the last issue of the New York Fortean Society, in 1989. Here they are in color, with John’s captions. Everyone looks so young!

The New York Fortean Society Newsletter #4 1/2
I already posted the complete run of the newsletter John put out for the New York Fortean Society, which he ran in the ’80s and ’90s (starting here). It was usually one or two pages, photocopied, with news of events, speakers, fortean publications, and members. But for some reason, he didn’t keep #4 1/2 in his newsletter file. I did turn up a copy, however, so here it is.

The New York Fortean Society Newsletter #10
The tenth newsletter was the last. It contained reports on talks by Whitley Strieber, Dennis Stillings, and Antonio Huneeus; as well as clips, photos, and an announcement for an upcoming talk by Ben Robinson. Also stapled into the packet was a flyer for an upcoming UFO convention. The NYFS continued after this, but I guess John didn’t feel like putting out more newsletters.

The New York Fortean Society Newsletter #8
In the eighth newsletter, Jack Scaparro debunks the myth that Napoleon’s soldiers shot off the Sphinx’s nose; and John announces the upcoming lecture by Dennis Stillings. Jack, for those of you who don’t know him, is an ardent Egyyptologist, wrote several successful horror novels, and joined me in helping John when he needed it.

The New York Fortean Society: A Christmas Party
The NYFS Christmas party was held shortly after the seventh meeting, on December 17, 1988, at the Ukrainian East Village Restaurant in NYC. John had only a few remarks to make, but did offer a memorable toast to Charles Fort.

The New York Fortean Society: The Seventh Meeting
The seventh meeting of the NYFS took place on November 19, 1988. John had a few announcements about upcoming events, and introduced Henry Belk. The talk on mystery helicopters, by the way, was by Dennis Stillings; Whitley Strieber replaced Robert Anton Wilson for the May 20 meeting. As a bonus, here’s a picture of Keel and Belk, taken in Charlotte, N.C., in 1989.
