That's right. I remember that.
Now, one thing you may be surprised to learn, and you've asked me from time to time, well, you know, what did I think as I'm facing into all this stuff? We, obviously, as physicists, think about time going forward in a reasonable way. And as I mentioned, the Princeton lab... got involved. Robert John at Princeton was very good in quantum theory and so on.

And he knows that in quantum theory, time is kind of a slippery slope. You know, we have the space-time metric and the possibility of maybe seeing something in the future or something in the past. And so he did a series of remote viewing experiments very much like what we were doing. But

Sometimes he would have somebody go to a site and then wait a week and have somebody describe where the person went. Or he might have somebody describe where a person went, but the person didn't go until a week later. And so he did a lot of experiments. which, by the way, were good enough.

He also got it published in the Proceedings of the IEEE, Institute of Electronics Engineers, a couple years after our paper, like 78 or so. And so it turned out that the results, either looking a bit into the future, a bit into the past, the results were just as good. So that sort of helped solve another problem for us because we were always... I mean, I can't blame the skeptics coming forward.

In fact, our favorite phrase is, as far as remote viewing goes, there are two outcomes. People investigate it and know it works. People don't and know it can't. And that's sort of it. So anyway, you know, a big thing that we always got pushed on was, well, if these people are so psychic, why aren't they rich? Why aren't they at Las Vegas? Why aren't they doing silver futures or whatever? Right.

Well, it turned out I had a chance to test that because, as it turns out, my wife, Adrienne Kennedy, was on the board of a new grammar school that was being set up in the Bay Area where we were at the time. And so... I was trying to raise money because they were about $25,000 short.

And so I went to a wealthy dentist I knew of and said, you know, would you mind giving $25,000 for this school that's just being set up or short? He says, no, wait a minute. I know who you are. You have that ESP program over at SRI, don't you? And I said, yeah. He said, tell you what, I do silver futures.
