Dr.Horatio Lauren

1.
When I was very young, my grandad would tell me stories of the good ol' days in the lab and out
out in the Fields working to perfect a new technology and a new kind of warfare. He would
especially rave about his good friend and fellow nuclear physicist, Dr. Lauren. This man is who I'd like to
focus my first blog entry on.

Dr. Horatio Lauren is, as my grandad remembers, a very stubborn and haphazardous individual. Once,
while working with "people-friendly" nuclear warheads in Colorado, there was a strange flash
behind and slightly to the left of the original bomb site and mushroom cloud. The suggestion
was to allow the site to "de-activate" or lose it's radio activity before going and investigating
the weirdness. However, Dr. Lauren, being as he was, couldn't wait and dragged my grandad along
to see what had happened.

Luckily, it was nothing more than space debris they assumed was just in the wrong place at the
wrong time, but this gives you an idea of not only what I mean when I say "haphazardous individual"
but also the kind of pull this man had on my granfathers free will.

They stayed fast friends up until just a few years ago, I don't even think he knows of gramps
passing. I wonder how the old fella is doing...

  1. was really interested to read about yr grandfather's work. it's funny, but i think i may have found one of those old 'godspeech' recordings? sounds very similar to what you described. i'd love to speak to an expert about it all - do you think mr lauren could help? if you have any way of contacting him i'd be grateful and more than happy to let you know what i find out!

  2. You have a recording? I'd love to hear it.
    You can listen to mine @ http://www.supload.com/listen?s=PrE4jv

    As far as getting a hold of Dr. Lauren, I'd have to ask around, see if I can get you an email or something.

  3. any luck with the email, or news of dr lauren? if i can speak to him it will maybe help throw some light on the godspeech we found, and also clear up whether the missing girl is a relative or just a coincidence. thanks for trying...
