Dr. Bain, Keith Price and Jerry Schueler, to name a few.  I already live in the
same general "neighborhood" as Dr. Psionic, having bumped into him several times
at Olcott.

I've never felt that comfortable with my blood relations.  I was in the Olcott
basement once, enjoying some after-event refreshments, when I told my husband
that I felt more comfortable with those theosophists than I did with regular
people.  I didn't feel strange with them because I knew they had probably had
experiences like I had had.

Been looking for them all my life - and found them!
