Who is General 'Y'

[Alan Kent]

Alan,

I look forward to learning more about your research.

Have you run across a certain Roland "Bud" Culligan?

Best,

Charles

No, I have not come across Culligan in relation to Simpson or Burris. Culligan's story is a most interesting collection of claims, and certainly seems worthy of further inquiry. If one knew where to go...

I will shortly dredge up the materials I have accumulated on Simpson and Burris, and lay out the story as completely as it has been developed. Some little-known but important work has been done in this area by Larry Haapanen, John Williams, and Larry Hancock. I got 'hold of a great deal of primary resource material following a couple of lengthy conversations with our friend Gus Russo. I will attempt to contextualize the information and offer some thoughts as to its significance. Then we can all have at it, and see where (if anywhere) it leads.
