It has come to my attention that someone with a negative agenda about my Dads' educational history has taken up the call that Dad " never graduated from High School". This is an intentional lie and propaganda.
It is especially bothersome because this piece of misinformation ( along with many other bits of negative propaganda) has been posted on a website under the Townsend Brown name. ( ttownsendbrown.com)
Dad graduated from Doane Academy which was a College Preparatory school sponsored by the Denison University. Previous to that he had gone to a private and very exclusive boarding school in Pennsylvania called Hill School. While Paul Schatzkin was doing his research on Dads life I talked to the archivist of that school of that school myself. The school had experienced an outbreak of chickenpox at the very end of Dads senior year and the administration sent the students home,transferring his credits to his next choice of schools..
Now the writer of the news that Townsend Brown "never earned his high school diploma" is only telling his readers part of the information. He did not get his high school diploma FROM THAT SCHOOL...... And the writer has done that intentionally... He over looks informing his readers that Townsend Brown continued his eductation at Doane Academy ( where he graduated in June of 1923)and then entered California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. This is just one indication of a person speaking without any authority about the life of Thomas Townsend Brown. Yet he speaks.
One has to ask what motive is behind the promotion of incorrect information such as this?....Shoddy reporting of incorrect information like this is intentionally designed misinform those who are interested in getting the true biographical facts about Townsend Brown. This and other intentional misinformation will not be allowed to stand.

How is it that whenever information comes to light and does not fit with a persons expectations then it is deemed to be negative?
The information of Brown not graduating High School comes from an alumni information card, from 1938, that "he" filled out in his own handwriting that indicated that he "did not" finish High School. This is "hard" evidence, this is considered "factual" evidence when someone is researching information where a biography of a person is being performed. This was done as due-diligence of facts reported in the book "Defying Gravity" by Paul Schatzkin. Secondly, a letter written by Lewis Brown, Townsend's Father, in the late summer early fall of 1921, indicates that due to "issues" with his son from the previous year at School, he would not be returning.
The "authority" I speak with is from viewing the documents and therefore, documents don't lie, they do indicate truth until proven otherwise. This is regardless of what Linda Leach will say by quoting Stephenson in that documents can be falsified which is nothing more than an excuse that has been used by her on so very many occasions to explain inaccuracies of her story versus what hard factual information is out there.

The motive is to find "hard" evidence for the writing of a biography. The only shoddy information is the information that Linda Leach presents without any factual evidence other than her word and then ask this question....who has more to gain? The only hard evidence she presents are quotes in "blue" and snippets from a fictitious individual named twigsnapper.
When Paul is ready...if ever and the report of hell freezing over has occurred, I would be more than willing to give him any and all "hard" facts I have acquired. Hell, even if he doesn't finish the book and wants the info...it's his.

PS: And the reported information of Brown donating equipment to Denison appears to be false. From a reputable source who investigated first hand, there is no record of any equipment being donated.
