There's always room for another Close Encounters book on the market, isn't there?. |
That's when faithful reader and commenter purrlgurrl made this astute observation:
Just a thought - perhaps those who declined an interview or the person who warned people away from interviews harbored the thought of someday writing a book on Hynek.
Sooner or later just about everybody interested in Ufology eventually entertains the notion of writing a book. That's why the UFO literature is so inconsistent, poorly researched, and crappy, people who can't write and do basic research have produced a lot of UFO books.
Not long after I read this, I received this nice note from Jerry Clark:
Hi, Mark,Good call, purrlgurrl! You nailed it!
On several occasions over the years, acquaintances or colleagues urged me to write a Hynek biography. In each case I replied that I did not feel up to the job.I’m glad you took on the task, and I congratulate you for your efforts. I’m not sure if I envy you, but I know we’re all grateful to you.Cordially,Jerry
