I'm still trying to get ahold of Paul Lien to ask about the Foundation .He also stole a map once from the Vault in tallahasse when we were there doing research I did'nt know anything about it untill the man that let us into the vault asked me about it. it turned up years later some where. Him and a buddy of his went to a site making believe they were me and a friend of mine who had made an appointment to go there and Jim got wind of it and went a few days earlier and told the owners that they were us. On and on it goes. Lots of things keep popping up in my mind. Let me know the URl of the site I'd be glad to look at it ,up to you. " This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a fake message and I have the e-mail correspondence to prove it. I was shocked at the content, but these former colleagues of his know him better than I do.
