ParaNet is pleased to announce the apppointment of Don Ecker as Director of
|
|
Network Security. ParaNet has experienced phenomenal growth and the need for
|
|
this has become very apparent. Don, sysop of ParaNet Alpha-Delta, has been
|
|
appointed Director of ParaNet Network Security. Ecker is a veteran of Viet
|
|
Nam, having served 26 months in SouthEast Asia with Special Operations. Upon
|
|
returning to the States, he returned to college and after a year at school
|
|
applied to the municipal Police Department and was accepted. Leaving after a
|
|
year, he rejoined the private sector and entered business in the world of
|
|
finance. After several years he returned to police work, and after serving as
|
|
a uniformed officer was made a detective, and became a criminal investigator.
|
|
In 1982 he first became aware of the mutilation phenomenon when called upon
|
|
to investigate several cattle mutilations. While involved in a SWAT TEAM
|
|
exercise in 1986, he was wounded which led to his medical retirement. While
|
|
recuperating he became interested again in the UFO enigma, and was soon
|
|
convinced that the best way to investigate it was to treat the subject like a
|
|
criminal investigation. Joining MUFON, he was asked to serve as a State
|
|
Section Director and Investigator. Learning of ParaNet in 1987, he joined as
|
|
an assistant sysop with the old ParaNet RHO. During additional investigations
|
|
of cattle mutilations occurring in Idaho, the first of a number of cases of
|
|
what appeared to be "human mutilations" came to his attention and resulted in
|
|
investigations into this bizarre area of research. Ecker has written articles
|
|
for UFO Magazine, reported news and written book reviews. He spoke on his
|
|
research in mutilations at the 1989 MUFON Conference, has lectured on the
|
|
subject before numerous organizations, and appeared on both radio and
|
|
television programs speaking on the phenomenon. Security is a vital concern
|
|
for any type of network such as ours. I ask you to extend a warm welcome to
|
|
Don.
