  Here Joan talks about some of her dealings with Dolphins.

  It was interesting to me to learn that the Wise Ones can erase your mind
so that you forget you talked with them. They said you will not forget the
information they share with you, but you will probably forget the meeting
itself. You will think you have never seen them, but you have.
  This morning I drew a picture of the face I saw in the dark last night.
I felt compelled to draw the gentleness of the eyes and the light shining
in them. I did my best. The only art supplies I had were a black indelible
marker and a piece of paper toweling. All I could see of the face were
the eyes, and I didn't know exactly what the rest of the face looked
like. I am pleased that I followed my instincts and drew this the morning
after the contact while the memory lingered so clearly within me.
  Then later in the day, Medicine Woman came and telep-thically said to
Susan that she, Medicine Woman, was the one who contacted me and who I saw
last night from the cabin.
  You can imagine how happy I felt to know that it was our friend,
Medicine Woman, who was the loving Wise One who chose to reveal her
presence to me.

                    Other Talents of the Sasquatch

  This family of Sasquatch walk long distances from one part of
the country to another. It is easy for them. They can walk 10 to
20 miles an hour, depending on the pace. Fences, even those with
barbed wire, do not deter them, since they can step over them.
  They consult with other Sasquatch for h-aling remedies. It
seems to be of great interest to them and they know the herbs of
the forest well. They will suggest the best berries and roots
to use to hea-l your illnesses if you ask.
  Now Susan shows me a wall calendar that she uses to jot down her
appointments and schedules, etc. She took it off the wall at home
and brought it to the forest today. In addition to Susan's notes
written on the calendar, there are also notes by the Medicine
Woman. She writes when she will be at the Farm and when she will
be in the forest. She has written that she will be in the forest
when we are there, this weekend. She wrote: WE COME THIS DAY and
the next weekend, she wrote: WE COME 11 DAY. Susan explains that
the number is not number eleven, but number 2. They write numbers
by using strokes, one stroke for each number. 1 represents one
day.

                        Sounds in the Night
  As the evening came, I began to hear soft clinking sounds as
though two crystal wands are being tapped together. It is very
subtle and could only be heard in concentrated listening. Once
you hear it, you can tune in to it very well. It certainly was
not a forest or animal sound.
  These are the kinds of signals they give us to let us know they
are arriving.
  As we sat around the fire, a small heavy stone came through
the trees into the fire. It was a "Hello, we are here!" sign.
Not threatening, not aimed at us, but precisely thrown so we
would see it fly into our midst. Since we cannot see any
Sasquatch around at times like this, are they teleporting the
rocks? I know they can teleport things because in the next few
days there in the woods, they demonstrated this.
  Now off in the distance I hear a call that sounds like an
owl imitation. "Hoo ... Hoo ... Hooooooo" This is repeated over
and over and is comig from the west. Ten minutes of silence
then I hear it begin again, lasting longer, only now it is in
the extreme east. Could this be two Sasquatch families calling
to each other? Or did one Sasquatch quickly move from one
mountain to another? What they have shown me is their ability
to project their voices. On this night they demonstrate this
to me, until I am surrounded in a stereophonic circle of Hoots
from different directions. They play with this, first watching
me look to the right in response to a sound and then looking to
the left because the sound is now over there. I understand the
concept.
  Again the dolphins have demonstrated the same thing. They
also can project different sounds simultaneously in each of our
ears while we are swimming together. It helps me to understand
the Sasquatch because of my experiences with the dolphins in
the ocean where sound moves more quickly than in air. Suddenly a
shrieking high C sound pierces the silence that causes me to
jump in my chair! It is very close to all of us. We were all
startled. A sound like that goes right through your body. There
is no night bird or animal that makes that sound. It repeats
again, but this time we are not startled and so we listen with
interest.
  It is followed by silence and then the hooting sounds resume.
We also listened many nights to loud sounds that seemed to be a
rock being hit against a boulder - rock on rock. We also heard
what sounded like a stick on a scrub board, and one night we
heard sounds of extra loud growls like an injured lion.  (JW
As I read this, I recall the times I spent at my grandparent's
trimmings of logs covered house on a ranch near Dattle, New
Mexico.  I heard sounds like this but was told it was probably
a mountain lion.)
  Never a dull moment! The nights were filled with mysterious
noises and activities in the darkness.
  Sometimes it feels like we are subjects in a Sasquatch
research project. Perhaps a project to determine which sounds
create what reactions in humans. Or perhaps a communication
project called "what does it take to make humans know we are
here and we are their friends?"

Subject: Ancient Australian Pine.                             Sept. 7, 2007.

  My number one son was listening to the TV show called American's
Heartland this week and they were talking about a pine tree that was
discovered over in Australia.  They thought it was a new plant but it
turned out that it had grown for millions of years.  There was only about
100 of these trees left and they are now trying to get people to plant
this pine tree throughout the world.  Here are the particulars about this
story that I found on google by typing in the words Ancient Australian
Tree.

  An Ancient Tree Grows in Brooklyn: Brooklyn Botanic Garden Debuts the
Wollemi Pine.
  "Living Fossil" Is Added to The Garden's Trail of Evo-ution Exhibit
"Wollemi Pine".

  Students from Shuang Wen Academy (P.S. 184) in lower Manhattan are the
first to see the "Living Fossil" with BBG President Scot Medbury explaining
the rare tree that outlived the dinosaurs.
  Brooklyn, NY January 19, 2007
  As part of its mission to share with the public information on plant
conservation, Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) announced it has secured a
specimen of the extremely rare Wollemi pine Wollemia nobilis, which will
be added to the Garden's permanent plant collections and featured on
public display beginning Friday, January 19, 2007.
  Referred to as a "major botanical find of the century," the Wollemi
pine was believed to be extinct for 2 million years. But in 1994 a
small grove of trees was discovered in Australia's Blue Mountains by
New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service Officer David Noble,
setting off worldwide excitement for a majestic plant that managed to
survive through 17 ice ages over the past millennia.
  Since its rediscovery, scientists and horticulturists have studied
the Wollemi pine to learn how this ancient species was able to survive.
At the same time, because fewer than 100 trees exist in the wild, a
burgeoning plant-propagation and commercialization initiative has
been launched the cornerstone of the conservation strategy to preserve
these trees in their native habitat. Royalties from the sale of
cultivated Wollemi pines will go toward conservation efforts. Brooklyn
Botanic Garden is offering a limited number of the trees so that
visitors will be able to participate in the conservation effort by
purchasing this ancient and rare tree to take home. All trees sold in
the U.S. are sold under the National Geographic brand.
  BBG's own Wollemi pine will be displayed in the Steinhardt
Conservatory's Trail of E-olution, which traces the development of
plant life from its origin four billion years ago to the present day.
   The Wollemi pine belongs to the ancient coniferous family
Araucariaceae, whose fossil record dates back over 200 million years
to the time of the dinosaurs. The intrepretive information for the
Garden's Trail of Evolution presents data on the evo-ution of plants,
and one of the panels emphasizes the living-fossil characteristic of
the family. Visitors can see the beauty of the tree itself that, at
maturity, showcases bark that looks like bubbling chocolate and
multiple trunks with fernlike foliage.
  "The discovery of a plant long thought to be extinct and only known
through fossils is an exciting and remarkable story that fires the
imagination," said Scot Medbury, president of Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
"Plants that have outlived the dinosaurs present a thrilling tale for
children and collectors alike, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden is
delighted to be able to showcase the Wollemi pine for our visitors. We
look forward to nurturing these young plants so that future generations
will be able to enjoy them," Medbury added.
  "The addition of the Wollemi pine to BBG's plant collections also
offers us an important opportunity to demonstrate the Garden's extensive
plant conservation efforts and the excellent environmental
stewardship initiatives that we have been working on with Botanic
Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and the Center for Plant
Conservation (CPC)," explained Medbury. "Through this exhibit, the
Garden can communicate the alarming rate at which far too many plants
are facing extinction."
  The Garden's Education Department will offer fun, instructional
activities for children and their families in order to spark the thrill
of discovery and offer a chance to be part of the living history of
the Wollemi and other ancient endangered plants, as well as to inspire
a plant conservation commitment. On weekends, there will be interactive
Wollemi pine Discovery Carts in the Steinhardt Conservatory. Children
can investigate modern-day plants that were part of the landscape
when dinosaurs roamed the earth and make a leaf rubbing from one of
these "living fossils."
  The Garden will provide comprehensive and informative material on the
award-winning BBG.org website, and the volunteer Garden Guides will
provide visitors with a compelling tour of the Trail of Evolut-on in
the Steinhardt Conservatory.
  The Wollemi pine exhibit in the Steinhardt Conservatory will be on
display beginning January 19.
