I was sad to see that he did not have an official website. He did not even have a Facebook page, which is standard practice anymore for individuals and small organizations who are looking to make it on their own in a grassroots sort of way. I could not find his book on Amazon nor in the Library of Congress catalog. A search of the PBS website did not support his connections to PBS programming: He had misspelled the name of the PBS show in which he claimed to have appeared, and a repeated search with the right spelling still did not turn up his connection. In short, he may happen to have some great ideas, but his story did not hold water. His materials promptly found themselves in the trash.
