[Blindtlk] Early convention tapes.

[Brian Miller]

Hi Ray,

I was afraid my comment might be construed as a conspiracy theory, but I
didn't intend it that way... I was directly told this by some very
knowledgeable individuals whose veracity I have no reason to distrust.
Nevertheless, I would be very happy to be proven wrong.  

You are right that problems began before 1959, but is not 59 in Santa Fe the
year of first split among the board, followed by 1960 in Miami with six
affiliates leaving, then 1961 in Kansas City with the walk out?  I see that
as a pretty pivotal set of years  with respect to the time of troubles.  I
don't want to suggest that it remains pivotal for us, either, or that it
keeps me up nights, just froma  historical perspective it was pretty
significant.  

Best,

Brian M

Quite wrong actually.  There is no truth to any conspiracy that Dr. Tenbroke
did not want 1959 preserved as a set of convention tapes.  Actually, the
trouble really  started before the 1958 convention and we do not have the
tapes of that one.  Nor do we have 1959.  We do have a small part of  1960
and all of 1961.  I do not, however, believe it is now possible to get any
of the convention recordings what so ever.
