General
The box labelled B6 contains selected cases in which I had some direct involvement or in which I did follow-up research such as a site visit or conversation with the witnesses. Most of these cases are from the United States, in the 1960's and 1970's. They would have been shared with Dr. Hynek, Fred Beckman and with researchers in California. There is also a file on 19th-century records.
