Re-Researching the Richter Library
Recently, I visited the Richter Library to assess their effort of re-cataloging the massive Pan Am Airways. Wow, what a difference! On my last visit, I went through nearly twenty boxes of photos… this time, only five. Why? There is so much more to see and now items are in their proper order. Great job…
Cleared to Land
I just left the University of Miami’s Pan Am grand debut of the “Cleared to Land” exhibit and recognition program marking the achievement of reinvigorating the archive search system. It was truly a wonderful event and showcased speakers who helped put together a far more precise catalog system after over 700 man hours of effort….
Goodbye to 2014
What a year! 2014 lived up to and even exceeded the expectations for how I, and many others, thought the year would play out. The good news of 2014 for me was that we finally solved the existence and location of the “concrete hospital slab.” The bad news is IF the passengers and crew of…

Back in the USA
Hi everyone, It has been a couple of weeks since we have been back and I am still combing though video, photos and data we acquired. I know that some of you want a definitive answer on our search results but that will take much more time. The reason is that although we found “the”…
August 19th
With any glorious sunrise, optimism abounds when plowing a mirror-like tropical lagoon for what I had hoped would be THE day that I have been hoping for. After fourteen plus years, I had found the exact location Amelia Earhart researcher Joe Gervias and his contemporary researcher, Charlie Hill, had both adamantly claimed that the remains…
First Day Just Wrapped…
And we found remnants of an old Japanese medical facility under the newer slab. The good news is that I am certain we are in the correct location because of numerous factors. The bad news, the old Japanese slab has been demolished (probably in the early 1980″s) to use as filler material for a larger…
Slab Found!
Arrived in Truk Lagoon on Tuesday and quickly departed the following morning to investigate a lead as to where the slab in question was located. By mid day, we believe we have finally found the elusive slab! That’s right! You heard it right. WE FOUND THE SLAB! Now, after several days of negotiating with the…
FoxTV: Spreading the Word
Spreading the word about The Lost Clipper via Fox 5 in Washington DC before the next trip to Japan, Guam and Truk later this week. “You are about to meet a man who is working on a documentary, but he doesn’t know how it ends. It’s the story of the first plane ever hijacked. There…
Seven Days and Counting…
One more shout out to everyone who helped make this effort possible. Because of your financial support and integral belief in this project, the Hunt for the Lost Clipper has begun preparations to leave the US and head for Micronesia next Friday. In reality, the $6,100 raised is roughly 50% of the actual cost of…
