While I am preoccupied with preserving PF’s legacy and attempting to fundraise I think it more than important to recall the contributions of Eileen Coly, PF’s second President and of lesser import perhaps, my beloved mother. It is true that Eileen Garrett as our founder remains still on the world stage but the PF would… Continue Reading
Happy Spring everyone– made that much more happy with the upcoming ParaMooc 2024! PF and Anna Damalas and I personally are so excited to once again stand as staunch supporters of this Massive Open Online Course since its inception in 2015. The brainchild of the late Dr. Carlos Alvarado and Dr. Nancy Zingrone it has… Continue Reading
I have recently been made aware of some justifiable questions concerning the accessibility of the Garrett Library. I reached out to Dr. Beth Saunders, Curator and Head of Special Collections and Gallery of the Albin O. Kuhn Library of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County which presently maintains the Library. PF continues to purchase books… Continue Reading
My heart is full of pride to celebrate PF’s 72nd year anniversary this month despite an exceedingly difficult year of financial hardship for our organization with a gift to students, researchers and those interested in the work of the science of parapsychology. Concerned with preserving PF’s long lasting legacy of over 7 decades of publications… Continue Reading
Regular readers of this blog might be surprised by the by line. Our President, Lisette Coly and I felt it fitting, as we turn the page to the foundation’s next chapter that we have a new narrator for this month’s blog.

Our Board of Trustees, The late Eileen Coly our Second President, and I have long realized since we have… Continue Reading

Shannon over the years has become a PF grantee and our Rogo Award Winner for Parapsychological Media and subsequent good friend.

The article was published in The Journal… Continue Reading
