And a direct and open message to Suzette,
If we got it wrong Suzette it is because we misinterpreted what was told us by either you or your sister in the very beginnings of this forum. Please correct us as quickly as you can. I will try to look back and edit in that original comment so you can see where we might have taken a wrong turn and set us on the proper path then as quickly as possible. My best regards always, Elizabeth

Suzette .... your words.
"Hello! Nice to read about T. Townsend Brown, and his associations with my Dad. I am a daughter of Alva "Beau" Kitselman and Betsy, and would also like to see any photos or documents relating to my family. I remember Commander Brown, and the amazing stuff he was up to! I remember Salvador, was born at Pyramid Lake, and the "Huna" information posted above isn't entirely correct. For the short version about my Dad: Papa did a lot of things. He just couldn't stop learning stuff! Born at Battlecreek, MI on Jan 24, 1914, raised in Muncie, Indiana where his father was in steel. (my Grandad invented the first steel roller skates....put ball bearings in them....but that's another story.) Some anecdotes on Beau Kitselman: Physicist, Mathematician, authority on eastern religions, psychotherapist, author. Studied Sanskrit at Stanford the last year it was offered, and was translating several Sanskrit volumes that were a gift of King Prahadjipok of Siam when he passed away. The Sanskrit does tie in with physics, actually: modern 'discoveries' in physics were actually uncovered in India around 5000 years ago, and some volumes he was translating were on those ancient physics studies. Several colleagues wanted him to publish his findings in Scientific American, but since Papa didn't have a PhD, the magazine wouldn't. Rules! Oh, well. Anyway, he was one of the 'top 5' mathematicians in the US for many years. In the 1960s, (when only weirdos had computers!) he wrote software for the intercontinental ballistic missiles, so that they would readjust their trajectory every 6/10ths of a second, when previously they had readjusted only every 8 seconds. In psychotherapy, he was one of the pioneers of 'insight therapy', which was a precursor to the modern style of cognitive therapy, aka 'talk therapy'. There is a website that incorrectly links his psych work with L. Ron Hubbard. The two had been acquaintances while studying psych, and were discussing their plans in our living room after dinner sometime around 1958. When L. Ron said that he would make his therapy into a religion to avoid paying taxes, and create several different "levels" for his patients to achieve, taking lots of time and costing lots of money, my father escorted Mr. Hubbard to the door. That was the end of their friendship! (Papa didn't like him)..........
Things sometimes, like Chinese whispers, canget misquoted.
