Marc...and others...if my interpretation of Richard Hall's comments on/about Art Bell is correct, then Hall is essentially lamenting that by the media (and this includes Art Bell) spending much/most of its time highlighting the "sensational" (always a "ratings booster"...right?), then the much more credible cases end up being overshadowed. Such overshadowing, ufortunately, more times than not, is the norm. (BTW...just in case anyone is left with the impression that Richard Hall only focuses on "nuts & bolts", please be sure to read the additional information which I've appended below. It serves to illustrate that he is open to other issues, too.) Bob Soetebier ------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to his being an Iowa MUFON State Section Director, Daryl Stangl is also Assistant State Director for Iowa Mufon. He is also a hypnotherapist also who works with abductees. Daryl also runs a group called the MARSS group. It is the Midwest Abduction Research and Support System. It is a support group for abductees in southeastern Iowa. He is also a co-founder of the "Bridges" group. Here follows some pertinent quoted comments about Daryl Stangl and his "Bridges" group that were made by Richard Hall in his monthly column in the September, 1998 (Volume 13, No. 5) issue of "UFO" [Sunland, CA] magazine. (Someone else was kind enough to type up for me the quoted info that follows. --Bob S.): ----- On March 28, 1998, I attended a session of something called "Bridges," billed as a workshop for an "abductee support group network," in Chantilly, Virginia. I khew and respected the hostess, Melanie Green, but knew absolutely nothing about her partners, Michelle Guerin and Daryl Stangl. Thus being aware of the numerous self-appointed "experts" and opportunistic exploiters of the UFO phenomenon, I approached the meeting with considerable skepticism. As the day unfolded, I was pleasantly surprised. No giant egos. No claims to have all the answers. No one path to truth. Now comes "Bridges," which appears to me to be a highly worthy effort by the three founders, who have "been there," to cut across conventional lines and offer support to abductees who are in need of help and guidance.Their selflessness and willingness to reach out to help others, regardless of individual beliefs, is praiseworthy. More information on "Bridges" can be obtained by contacting: Daryl Stangl Email: stangld@aea15.k12.ia.us
