Richard and others,
The President of the Int'l Tesla Society was at the Rochester, N.Y.
Hamfest and gave two talks there last Saturday. I met him in person
for the first time and spent a bit of time with him wandering about the
fleamarket and chatting with him between his scheduled talks. Naturally I
probed him for the name of the 'mystery researcher' mentioned but not named on
the radio program. J.W. McGinnis gave me the name of the guy. This past
Sunday's Tesla radio show featured our mystery researcher as guest!
Now that it is in public domain I see no problem in revealing it here for those of
you out there who probably missed it. The fellow is Mr.Jerry LaBine, and he
hails from Indio, California, USA. Mr. Labine is scheduled to appear at
the annual Tesla Society's symposium this year in Colorado Springs
and will apparently talk about his plans to make long sparks some
1300 feet long. He did discuss these plans and some detail of them on the show
which I taped. If anyone is interested in receiving a copy of this cassette
audio tape please e-mail me privately.
Happy Coiling!, rwstephens
