Received this day, April 9, 1988 from A.P.R.O. (Aerial Phenom-
|
|
ena Research Organization, Inc) of 3597 W. Grape Drive., Tucson,
|
|
Arizona 85741 U.S.A. , the following
|
|
letter dated March 29, 1988:
|
|
|
|
Dear Dale:
|
|
|
|
It is with deepest regret that I tell you that there will be
|
|
no more issues of the APRO Bulletin. Mrs. Lorenzen has
|
|
been through some very trying times, both physically and
|
|
emotionally, no doubt hastened by the death of her daughter
|
|
last month. Now her doctor advises that for her own
|
|
welfare, she must not take on any more of the burdens
|
|
imposed in running this organization. And since ther
|
|
is no one else with the editorial skills and endless
|
|
font of memory to do the job, I must attend the last rites.
|
|
|
|
If you have unexpired subscription fees due you, I
|
|
shall be happy to mail you the equivalent in past issues,
|
|
if you will be so good to tell me which ones you prefer. (at
|
|
a rate of $1.50 ea.)
|
|
|
|
With trust that you will assist me in accomplishing a most
|
|
unplsant duty.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
Robert G. Marsland, for APRO.
|
|
|
|
So, it would seem that one of the oldest UFO investigation
|
|
services in the United States is closing up shop. That leaves
|
|
one less organization insted in fair and objective inquiry
|
|
into the UFO phenomenon available to the masses. The
|
|
death of Jaes Lorenzen last year, and the declining of
|
|
health is as sad as would be the parting of a scholar such as
|
|
Phil Klass in the Skeptics camp. A moment of history has now
|
|
left, and who knows what will become of the future. These
|
|
lines after the signature of Robert G. Marshland. And my
|
|
deepest sympathy goes out to the people that counted on APRO
|
|
for information, whether we believed in it, diested it
|
|
for our objective criticism, or just valued that someone was
|
|
interested in passing along information to the masses that
|
|
follow this subject.
|
