What better organization to be involved with on the surface tahn something like NICAP. Its like absolutely perfect! He doesn't have to explain, REALLY, his interest.
Does that make sense to anyone?
Well, it makes perfect sense to me. But, then, I know a few things that I haven't mentioned yet... you know... "rest of the story" stuff.
There is one episode that has not been discussed here, something that happened in 1950, which goes a long way toward explaining everything that Townsend Brown did from 1950 until (near as I can tell) he stopped taking notes in 1958.
Anybody who makes it to Las Vegas will find out there what I'm talking about.
In the meantime, Victoria is basically right. NICAP was a "cover" operation, Brown's separation from it added further tarnish to reputation (deliberately), and Cook took the story hook-line-and-sinker.
Amazing how something like that is still working its magic 50 years later...
