      ----------------------------------------

List member Dave was gracious enough to inform me that James Randi will be
lecturing at Eastern CT State University in Willimantic on April 9th at
7:30pm.  Willimantic is not too far from my house in Norwich so anyone
interested in going can meet there and we can carpool to the lecture.  The
lecture costs $5 to the public.  We already have a few people interested in
going so please let me know if you would like to attend.  - Mike

About James Randii from www.randi.org

James Randi has an international reputation as a magician and escape artist,
but today he is best known as the world's most tireless investigator and
demystifier of paranormal and pseudoscientific claims.

Randi has pursued "psychic" spoonbenders, exposed the dirty tricks of faith
healers, investigated homeopathic water "with a memory," and generally been
a thorn in the sides of those who try to pull the wool over the public's
eyes in the name of the supernatural.

He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including a Fellowship
from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in 1986.

On October 19, 1993, the PBS-TV "NOVA" program broadcast a one-hour special
dealing with Randi's life work, particularly with his investigations of Uri
Geller and various occult and healing claims being made by scientists in
Russia.

He is the author of numerous books, including The Truth About Uri Geller,
The Faith Healers, Flim-Flam!, and An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and
Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural. His lectures and television
appearances have delighted — and vexed — audiences around the world.

"We may disagree with Randi on certain points, but we ignore him at our
peril."
-Carl Sagan

In 1996, the James Randi Education Foundation was established to further
Randi's work. Randi's long-standing challenge to psychics now stands as a
$1,000,000 prize administered by the Foundation. It remains unclaimed.
