This is how John signed a copy of his last book, The Best of John Keel, a collection of his Fate columns, published by Galde Press. He delayed writing an introduction for it, partially because he was in and out of the hospital, and partially because he was having trouble writing. Eventually, I ended up writing the introduction, just to get it published.

In this report for the Ohio, Athens Messenger, Mary Hyre describes a visit to NYC. She appears with John Keel on the Long John Nebel show, interviews the enigmatic Vivenus, and attends the 1967 Congress of Scientific Ufologists. We even get a glimpse of the young James Randi, back when he gave talks at UFO conferences.
Mary Hyre reports here on two recent UFO sightings — one by Keel himself.
A longer column, reporting UFO sightings, strange footprints, and a TV appearance with Keel.
Mary Hyre was one of the first, and one of the most persistent, to cover Mothman and other strangeness in Point Pleasant. In her column, “Where the Waters Mingle,” in the Athens, Ohio Messenger, she regularly reported the latest sightings and speculations. I’ll post some of her columns here, from John’s files, starting with this one.
