Welcome to the Rose Files (with TTB Timeline)

These posts provide supplemental information to the The Parallel Universe of T. Townsend Brown, which is the only extant biography of the man. If you are not familiar with the story, you can see the timeline here:

Author Paul worked closely with Townsend's daughter, Linda, who later wrote an unpublished memoir entitled The Good-bye Man. I was the story editor for her project and had access to a trove of family documents. I began to look at the historical records around the times, people, and places Linda remembered, to see if I could find evidence of Townsend's presemce. In a sense, Townsend was always "the man who wasn't there." But it it worth pointing out that he was always, always in close proximity to some of the biggest developments of the day in America's race to space.
Ten years ago, I was posting these findings at my blog, Honk if You know Townsend. Now that Paul has decided to issue a revised edition of his book, I am revisiting those old entries, filtering out the ones that might be useful to future researchers. For now I will be annotating and updating them and moving them to this section.
If you have questions about, contributions to, or quarrels with any of my posts, please do not hesitate to let me know.
As Linda is fond of saying, thanking you in advance,
