Ouestion: What do various
"Earhart researchers" who oppose the Irene-Amelia claim say about it? Answer: What they definitely
do not say, is if it was possible to prove the claim wrong since it first arose in 1970, such a thing would have been done
by now. It's
clear... how since the 1970s the Irene-Amelia claim has quietly been 'officially permitted' to remain as a debated controversy
by intention. If the claim wasn't valid, with ease the Smithsonian Institute and/or official government historians would have
proved it false long ago. Not to mention the families of the original Irene and/or Amelia's would have done the same thing.
Keeping quiet about it while leaving it in an ongoing 'public debate' state for nearly four decades, is historical dictum's
back door way of silently admitting there is something to the Irene-Amelia conveyance. [Please also see the 'Wikipedia' link
on the left.]
 Presenting the 'False Prophets' of the Amelia Earhart Mystery: Alex Mandel,
Bill Prymak, Carol Linn Dow, etc. Although the Irene-Amelia claim has never been disproved, over the years opposing researchers have been claiming
it was disproved in one way or another. Also, national institutions favoring the crashed and sank scenario of Earhart's demise,
have traditionally met the Irene-Amelia challenge by shedding a 'suspicious' light on the topic. The most recent example of
this was noticed in the case of Bill Prymak of the Amelia Earhart Society, whose influence over the National Geographic Society's
independent film producer, Noel Dockstater was obvious. Mr. Prymak, a wealthy retired construction engineer from Broomfield,
Colorado established and self-financed his 'Amelia Earhart Society' club back in 1989, with an apparent objective in mind,
to for some reason, always decry the Gervais-Irene reality. With Bill Prymak's encouragement, in 2006 Noel Dockstater engaged a Forensic Detective
named Kevin Richlin to appear on his National Geographic Channel special about Amelia Earhart. Detective Richlin openly admits
he did not forensically 'prove' the images he compared were not of the same human being. Still, after the show aired Alex
Mandel of the Ukraine, an Amelia Earhart traditionalist and good friend of Bill Prymak's falsely influenced the on-line encyclopedia
Wikipedia with a lengthy diatribe of misinformation, incorrectly stating Detective
Richlin had finally proved the claim 'false.' Here are a few of the 'many reasons
why' Kevin Richlin himself refuses to say he disproved the claim: After being engaged by National Geographic, Detective Richlin was given a few minutes of airtime in
its 2006 Earhart Special. He conveyed his assessment of the Gervais-Irene in comparison to Amelia Earhart's image. (See the
'Eye Comparisons' link for more pertinent information found beneath the visuals there.) However, Detective Richlin never fully
addressed the equation. Nor did he display and/or discuss the full body, arm length, hand, and feet comparisons, or at all
address the handwriting and voice comparisons. Nor did he discuss the personal background forensic argument about the Gervais-Irene,
to include the recent discovery of more than one person having shared the same Irene Craigmile Bolam identity, and how the
one who Joe Gervais met does not appear in photographs identified as 'Irene Craigmile' prior to 1945. All of this infromation
was furnished to Noel Dockstater. However, Kevin Richlin conducted a minimal facial null hypothesis
only, and simply pointed out the same anomalies previously conveyed and already accounted for and explained within the context
of Beyond 37's forensic analysis. Needless to say, all of the issues mentioned here are included among the 'many' reasons
Detective Richlin could not himself nullify the Gervais-Irene assertion. As well, the amount of information National Geographic
supplied him with was minimal, and he discounted it as such in its program. No matter though, Carol Linn Dow for example,
whose recent book effort called The Lost Flight of Amelia Earhart (one that
basically supported a 'Earhart survived beyond the date of her disappearance in the
hands of the Japanese but she did not change her name to Irene' slant) re-conveys the work of Goerner, Briand, Loomis,
Gervais & Klaas, Brink, and others much the same way Dave Bowman's 2005 book Legerdemain
did, only Dow's also endorsed the rambling 'anti-Irene' tirades of Alex Mandel as 'fact' rather than 'fiction,' to compliment
her many years old obsession against the Gervais-Irene account. Ever since Beyond 37' encountered Ms. Dow in 2001, she's constantly
been shaking her head 'no' to the mere mention of the Irene-Amelia conveyance, as if she was aware of something everyone else
was not.
Dow and Mandel made no
mention though, of how National Geographic itself refused to display the latent multiple Irene's discovery. Ultimately its
traditional agenda to make light of and disregard the claim appeared rather obvious. And Det. Richlin likely had no idea he
was being engaged, merely to once again shore-up the past white-washing efforts meant to instill public doubt in the Amelia-became-Irene
idea, in place of conducting a more thorough examination. Prymak, Dockstater and National Geographic, Mandel and Dow, and sadly poor Kevin Richlin himself are controlled examples
of the traditional way (since 1970) historical dictum has back-door propagandized its Irene-Amelia case influence to academia
and national news media outlets. Over the years the Smithsonian Institute itself has purposefully, albeit falsely profiled
the Amelia-became-Irene reality by downgrading the quantity and/or quality of the long term and 'thoroughly cumulative' investigative
efforts, beginning with those of USAF Major Joe Gervais. As well 'official history' has always
avoided involving the families of Amelia or the original Irene Craigmile whenever it addressed the Irene-Amelia subject. [Examples:
The 2006 National Geographic special still in reruns today, or even dating back to Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of"
TV series Earhart episode, not to mention the Gervais-Irene's 1970 to 1975 law suit (with a case ending 'trifle' ten-dollar
consideration paid by plaintiff Irene and defendant Joe Gervais to each other... after she refused to volunteer her fingerprints
to validate her identity) yes, notice how no members of the original Irene Craigmile's or Amelia's families ever appeared
on any of the investigative TV segments, nor did they accompany her or testify
during her law suit.] Note about the law suit: After McGraw-Hill published the book Amelia
Earhart Lives in the Fall of 1970, the Gervais-Irene sued Authors Gervais and Joe Klaas, as well as McGraw-Hill for
libel. It was described as a 'summary judgment hearing.' The case lasted five years and made its way to the New York supreme
court. Two of the defamatory contested facts she cited in the book were: (1.) The book described her British husband Guy Bolam
as "her alleged husband" where it was provable she and Guy were legally married in 1958. (2.) The book described
one of her homes as 'property owned by Jackie Cochran and her husband, Floyd Odlum' without being able to prove it. Joe Gervais
later maintained, "She never sued us for implicating her as the former Amelia Earhart. She sued us for suggesting things
she considered damaging to her character and other misstated facts. One of the stipulations she somehow got the court to agree
to, was how we weren't allowed to ask her about her life prior to 1937." Gervais also described, "She was to be
awarded better than a one million dollar sum for damages. I agreed to it on the condition she volunteer her fingerprints to
prove her true identity. She refused to do so, thus turning down the one million dollar settlement. That's how we ended up
paying ten dollars to each other to end it. Apparently she didn't need the money." (McGraw-Hill did end up paying her
a high five-figure amount, for publishing unauthorized and at times 'incorrect' or 'misleading' information about her.) When
she died in 1982 she donated her body to medical science at Rutgers University, again disabling 'positive ID checking' in
a final sense. Rutgers later provided a statement describing how her body was eventually cremated and buried in a common grave. Mandel's False Rebuttals:
A
self-proclaimed Earhart lover and image protector, during the past five years the relatively unknown Ukrainian physicist,
Dr. Alex Mandel has been arguing against the Irene-Amelia conveyance both in public and over the internet. See for one's self,
'Dr. Mandel' is a somewhat curious individual to be sure. Nary a soul heard of him in the world of Earhart research until
the Associated Press began to report on the Irene-Amelia 'forensic analysis.' Since then the image passionate young physicist
has sold his name with his strong slant against the Irene-Amelia claim, especially anywhere the name Irene Craigmile Bolam
is mentioned on the internet. He seems to operate with an agenda of decrying the 1945-1982 identified Irene Craigmile as the
former Amelia Earhart, and even at times the World War Two vets who did so much to advance the reality of the Gervais-Irene
claim during the previous decades. Indeed it's hard not to notice, how 'Dr.' Mandel's fanaticism towards Amelia's 'historical
purity' is devout, if not peculiar. On the internet Mandel offers lengthy composed statements doing his best to decry every aspect of the Irene-Amelia
conveyance. He campaigns how the logic of the claim and the forensic analysis were not at all justified nor well founded,
even though it is highly obvious they were. He was politely offered to view non-published research material and information
on the matter during a stateside visit he made, to include opinions of experts who ascertained the multiple Irene's discovery.
He declined the invitation, and otherwise offers how he believes no such support exists. As well, he often cites how the forensic
study initiator, Beyond 37's Tod Swindell was not a certified forensic expert, so his 'Amelia to Irene opinion' should not
be seriously regarded. Mr. Swindell countered so much by remarking how the 'claim'
of Amelia's ongoing survival as Irene preceded his involvement by many years, and it was one among other Earhart claims he
merely 'decided to look into' beginning back in 1996. He added after realizing
the claim had quite a substantial foundation, in 1997 he began studying the topic of human ID placement, and consulting with
and learning techniques from a variety of human identity experts, and even
medical experts who influenced the design of the Irene-Amelia comparison analysis. In other words, the approach taken to the
analysis was anything but myopic. It is equally worth noting; 'Dr.' Mandel is not a medical expert, nor is he a forensic human
identity expert. He is however, again, a loud protector of Amelia Earhart's status quo historical image.

Other opposing Arguments Found On The Internet And Elsewhere.... Non-valid statements are repeatedly
offered about the Gervais-Irene claim. They're made by individuals who pressure the media and the public into viewing Amelia's
changed identity as either 'made up' or an outright impossibility, even though in real life it's actually true. Notice though,
how not one of them represents any form of a U. S. historical dictum guiding influence. Rather, they are mere private individuals
impaling their own 'cottage industry' opinions onto the story's less informed masses, in order to keep the Irene-Amelia truth
from being recognized and accepted.
It's not so difficult for the objectively informed, to identify
the private-sector steering committee long guiding public opinion on this issue since the 1970s. For example, between 2002
and 2004 the newly discovered information about the long held Irene-Amelia claim offered 'conclusive credence' to it, causing
the network of anti 'Earhart survived' campaigners to re-emerge and once again argue against it. Beyond the aforementioned
Dr. Alex Mandel of the Ukraine, (who is discussed more further down) here is a short-list of other 'media dominating' private
citizen naysayers, along with noteworthy organizations who remain curiously reserved, when asked to express their opinions
on the Irene-Amelia debate: Elgen
Long: Nauticos figurehead and crashed and sank theorist, who has argued against
the Irene-Amelia claim since the 1970s. Bill Prymak: 1989 founding president of the Amelia Earhart Society.
'Has argued against the Irene-Amelia claim since the 1980s. Richard Gillespie: Head of TIGHAR, (a historical aircraft
recovery group) has argued against the Irene-Amelia claim since the 1970s. The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and the National Geographic Society: Both organizations have forever refused
to openly participate in the Irene-Amelia claim investigation, and favor the crashed and sank theory only. The families of Irene Craigmile
and Amelia Earhart: The families have traditionally not participated in Earhart mystery solving efforts, while also
dismissing the Irene-Amelia claim out of hand before seriously addressing it. The 99s and Zonta Clubs: Amelia had been a prominent
member of both organizations. They've long refused to offer any insight or serious commentary on the Irene-Amelia claim. -------------------- It is true how no official investigation into the 1937 disappearance case of Amelia Earhart has ever been launched.
The United States Government has traditionally maintained its silence about it, and as the Smithsonian is linked to representing
U. S. Government historical viewpoints, so too has it never been permitted to conduct its own investigation into Earhart's
so called 'mystery.' Still, various individuals appear to represent a kind of 'official air' about themselves when discussing
the Earhart mystery, even though there is nothing official about them at all.
Before citing any opinions from the above list, a brief question and answer session helps explain how American history
facts are recorded for posterity. First, here's a quote about the subject of 'history' itself
made by 1920s & 30s Philosopher and Mathematician, Dr. Alfred North Whitehead. It was pulled from his Yale and Harvard
lectures from said era. It's simple, but worthy of consideration: "History is the expression of feelings peculiar to humanity." Alfred
North Whitehead Question: When it comes to how the recording of United States historical
facts is accomplished, and what new factual declarations actually make their way into academic textbooks, whom does the U.
S. public citizenry turn to? Answer: The
entities who control the official endorsement of United States historical dictum record keeping. Question: Who are these "entities?" Answer: There are many. Among them is the Smithsonian Institute, The National Geographic Society, Ivy League
and/or all college history professors, (who conduct their own historical research studies to learn what they do, and then
advance new important findings for approval) and state, government, and national media influences just to name a few. Basically,
in order to change the way an important historical topic already exists as 'factually conveyed' in any academic text book,
or almost any non-fiction book for that matter... more than one of the above entities is almost always part of the influencing
and approval process. Again, curiously... although the Irene-Amelia conveyance is often referred to in non-fiction books and
periodicals, nowhere has it ever been described as something that was ever
outright 'disproved.' Question: Who are the main combatants who most often raise their voices
against the Irene-Amelia claim?
Answer: They are private citizens only. For starters a good examination of the internet Wikipedia and Lost Flight of Amelia Earhart
false diatribes of Alex Mandel, and Amelia Earhart Society figureheads Ron Bright, Dave Horner, and Bill Prymak is recommended
as their efforts, carefully thought out and well written, still fall way short of conveying the forensic reality. Also, some
past offerings of TIGHAR President Richard Gillespie, and even some contradicting statements made from 2004 to 2006 by the
original Irene Craigmile’s own Son, Larry Heller among others are worth looking at. Not to mention Elgen Long, the crashed-and-sank
theorist and long time friend of Amelia's late Sister, Muriel Earhart Morrissey has been the one of the two main media-supported
theorists ever since the Gervais-Irene died in 1982. The other one to receive the most media attention since the early 1990s
is the TIGHAR club, that pretty much invented its 'desert island castaway' theory based on unsubstantiated data and
hearsay. Of Interest...
One
of the more noticeable things about the Irene-Amelia conveyance, is how hard people in the private sector have campaigned
against its acceptance EVER SINCE it came into public view in 1970. Those who lead the charge seem to often come from the
inner history realm, of long time Amelia Earhart status-quo historical legacy supporters.
The lot of them includes since the 1970s and 1980s, the names listed above. If one asks the Smithsonian Institute about Irene-Amelia, they
will dismiss the claim about her out of hand and support the crashed and sank theory only. As well, the National Geographic Society admits how it is
not allowed to state any mystery 'solving,' so when they report on the Irene-Amelia claim they can only downplay it, or skirt
the issue entirely. National Geographic answers to a higher call when it comes to historical subject matters akin to the Earhart
mystery nature; that of preferred U. S. historical dictum record keeping. Again,
such a preference has long dictated to leave the Earhart case existing as 'a mystery' only. For no 'official or semi-official'
entity representing the United States historical dictum viewpoint, has ever been 'officially' authorized or permitted to investigate
the Earhart case, in an effort to help advance the solving of the so-called 'mystery' attributed to it. Sweeping it under the rug...
AES founding President, Bill Prymak started the Amelia
Earhart Society in 1989 with a goal in mind: To gain Joe Gervais as its most revered member. Mr. Prymak would always include
Joe Gervais on AES trip invites, would often finance the participation endeavors of Gervais and his Wife Thelma, would honor
Gervais ceremonially, and he was always open to boast the treasure trove of Gervais research regarding Amelia Earhart... that
his AES organization gained access to by virtue of Joe Gervais agreeing to become an AES member. However, when it came to
the most important research issue to Joe Gervais concerning Earhart’s story… that being his 1965 discovery and later in-depth achieved
awareness of how Amelia survived and changed her name to ‘Irene,’ Mr. Prymak was always first to discourage other
AES members about it, and all but insist they not believe it.
So it is noticed once again for review, how after Irene-Amelia died in 1982... and as the volumes of combined 1960s and 1970s research of Paul Briand,
Joe Gervais, and Fred Goerner were left to fade from memory, by the end of the 1980s three new media-touted entities had taken
over to dominate the Amelia Earhart research scene. They were: (1.) Amelia’s Sister Muriel’s friend in Elgen Long,
who promoted the traditionally preferred by U. S. historical dictum "crashed and sank" scenario. (2.) Richard Gillespie’s TIGHAR group who supported Earhart’s newly introduced "five hundred miles
south of Howland Island, desert island ditching and starvation" scenario. (3.) Bill Prymak’s AES
organization, that quietly invited curious researchers to look into the "Marshall Islands, Japan rescue and/or imprisonment-demise
theory," while devoid of course, of endorsing Amelia's name-changed survival as Irene.
Curious,
even though all of the Irene-Amelia opposing theorists remained well aware of the Gervais ‘Irene-Amelia claim’
...along with the fact it had never been disproved… they still commonly
and vehemently argued against it. And in recent years, the mentioned 'post 2002 emergence' of Dr. Alex Mandel, the fairly
unknown physicist from the Ukraine was hard not to notice.
As discussed, Dr. Mandel
knowingly miss-conveyed how the Irene Craigmile Bolam who Joe Gervais met among other famous pilots in 1965... was proven
'not' to have been formerly known as Amelia Earhart. In other words, he more or less lied about it. For such a thing was never
forensically concluded by anyone. Yet Dr. Mandel managed to influence Wikipedia into thinking it
had been done. He did so by falsely asserting and influencing Ms. Gwen Gale and others at Wikipedia into believing
enough, how after thirty-six years of scholarly debate over the Major Joe Gervais 'Irene-Amelia' claim, detective Kevin Richlin
finally put an end to it all in a few short minutes. Again, said assertion was
far from true. Still, Wikipedia myopically bought into allowing Dr. Mandel's false Irene Craigmile Bolam depiction to advance
it that way.
In effect, Mandel's claim to Wikipedia of how Det. Kevin Richlin's limited and briefly
expressed opinion brought an abrupt end to the the thirty-six year old Irene-Amelia debate, was and remains an irresponsible
overstatement. On the internet Dr. Mandel also relentlessly challenges writers of articles who demonstrate any support of, or curiosity
towards the Irene-Amelia claim. Again though, few in the world of Earhart research knew who Dr. Mandel was before the multiple-Irenes
discovery was made. He emerged from the Amelia Earhart mystery woodwork so to speak, specifically to combat the recently re-introduced
Gervais, Reineck, Swindell Irene-Amelia 'Forensic Conveyance.'
For
more information on the 'Irene-Amelia' impassioned rebuttals of Dr. Alex Mandel, on just about any search engine type in "Dr.
Alex Mandel, Bolam." You'll be amazed at what you find. For the last five years he has been curiously devoted to his
own mission for some reason, and worked hard to provide the false biography of Irene Craigmile Bolam that actually found its
way to be transcribed by Wikipedia. As well AES lead men Ron Bright, Dave Horner, and Bill Prymak
additionally provided lengthy arguments to their AES followers, that went overboard with a purpose of trying to persuade people
not to believe in the Irene-Amelia conveyance.
Amy Kleppner
of course, Amelia’s living Niece always supported her Mother’s wish of endorsing Elgen Long’s efforts, as
passively does the Smithsonian Institute and the National Geographic Society. Almost curiously though, again, said two institutions
are not allowed to become directly involved in Earhart investigative research. Rather, they casually report on what private
researchers say about the Earhart mystery now and then.
Especially after the 1997-2004 Forensic Analysis took
place and concluded what it did about the Irene-Amelia conveyance, all of these above listed adversaries of the long held
Gervais Irene-Amelia claim came out of the woodwork and started fighting harder against it. To the point of strongly influencing
National Geographic into believing the study was nothing more than a slight of hand hoax-like charade... that should not be
taken seriously.
It was never advanced by Gervais theory opponents, how the sponsor of the study, Tod Swindell
had engaged the original Irene Craigmile’s Son, Larry Heller by contract, after first making contact with him in 2004
and eventually enlisting his interest in an option arrangement.
Mr. Swindell taped his 2004 phone conversations
with Larry Heller that ultimately led to the contractual agreement between them, with ten thousand dollars paid in 2006 to
option Mr. Heller’s version of his Mother’s life story. The decision was made to do such a thing, because in 2004
Mr. Heller admitted in conversation how he was aware of more than one woman having been identified as his Mother in the 1982
Woodbridge, New Jersey News Tribune, via the series that profiled his Mother’s life story juxtaposed to Amelia Earhart's.
In the recorded phone conversation, Heller and Swindell are heard discussing the issue of the woman in the 1982 series who
was not the same Irene Craigmile Bolam who Joe Gervais met and photographed in 1965. To Swindell's question, “Do you
know who the other woman was?” Mr. Heller replies, “I can’t tell you her name, but I will advise her of
this phone call.”
Mr. Heller’s reply conveyed two things: (1.) Mr. Heller was aware of how the 1982
Tribune series featured more than one woman identified as his mother, and (2.) He knew the other woman, was aware she was
still living, and he was in touch with her. As well though, Mr. Heller would not share any ‘who and where’
information about her.
Mr. Heller was not expecting Mr. Swindell’s call and began the first conversation
by asking him “How did you get my number?” Mr. Heller also explained how he was in the middle of a garage
sale at his Huntington, Long Island home that he would soon be moving from, and he asked to be called back, which Mr. Swindell
did. Then, they spoke more at length. Swindell is heard advising Mr. Heller of the forensic study results, and of the new
book out by Rollin Reineck that regarded Mr. Heller’s Mother’s curious life story. Mr. Heller interrupted the
conversation early on to stress how he was not the Son of Amelia Earhart, and how he would “take a DNA test to prove
it.” Mr. Swindell replied how he already knew Mr. Heller was the Son of the original Irene Craigmile, not of Amelia
Earhart.
After learning of such a contact with Mr. Heller, AES President Bill Prymak became noticeably upset.
By the following year he had encouraged an AES cohort of his, one Dave Horner to contact Mr. Heller as well. During Mr. Horner's
interview with him, Mr. Heller denied there was anything malevolent or suspicious about his mother’s past. Ultimately,
this shows how closely guarded the Irene-Amelia story has always been, and how whenever a significant advancement was made
on it, adversaries swiftly arose to defile them with broad strokes.
A final example of turnabout
can be found in the 2006 recorded conversation that took place at Mr. Heller’s Manhattan Attorney’s office. On
tape Mr. Swindell is heard reminding Mr. Heller of their 2004 conversation, and how Mr. Heller acknowledged that he knew more
than one woman was identified as his Mother in the 1982 Tribune series. To such a comment Mr. Heller can be heard loudly retorting,
“No!” almost before Mr. Swindell finished making his remark. Of course, this was just moments after he acknowledged
the 'early 1940s family identified Irene Craigmile' only, as the 'Mother'
he recalled from his early childhood, while adding he'd "never seen" the 1945 Zonta photo bearing the likeness of
the '1945-1982 identified Gervais-Irene,' who Joe Gervais met and photographed
in 1965. In any case, it all ended with a paid-dearly-for signed contract with Larry Heller, along with the issue concerning
his lack-of-ease when discussing his mother's 'plural identity' equation.
Curious as well… in late 2002 Bill Prymak had been one of the original recipients of the preliminary forensic
study-analysis that was co-sponsored, co-orchestrated, and mostly conducted at that time by Mr. Swindell. After a month of
evaluating the study, here is a reproduced excerpt from the reply Bill Prymak sent to Tod Swindell about the study's initial
results, that included the discovery of more that one identified Irene Craigmile Bolam:
“Tod, this is your creation,
nobody else’s. My personal feelings… stay the course… your current product will not diminish by protecting
it, for the moment, from the tumultuous events certain to befall you if you go public… nourish your product, refine
it, let’s meet in Vegas… (soon!!)” [NOTE: This was already five
years after Mr. Swindell had been sharing his Irene-Amelia forensic study offerings that included her image and handwriting.
The reference to the specific ‘creation’ Prymak refers to, is the plural Irene Craigmile Bolams discovery in the
photographed life-history of her person. Gene Tissot, whose comments can be read in the Testimonials link, refers to the same
discovery. Tissot and Reineck had received duplicates of the same study Bill Prymak did.] Bill
Prymak continued: “Public acceptance of your work at this time may be tenuous. Wait until you can strengthen your position….
I believe in you… Rollin believes in you… we have to get the rest of the world to believe in you… so
mature your product towards this goal… Bill"
No doubt, Bill Prymak
was doing his best to persuade Mr. Swindell not to 'go public' with his study results. And after replying this way,
by early 2003 Bill Prymak had launched a campaign of silence and disregard towards what the study results conveyed. He refused
to share or endorse the results to other AES members, and by 2004 he was describing Mr. Swindell to other Amelia Earhart researchers
as a person of a 'questionable reputation.' He ceased communicating with Mr. Swindell, and by 2006 he had influenced the National
Geographic Society’s program to not display the 2002 discovery of the plural Irene Craigmile Bolams, while endorsing
the engagement of the less research informed police forensic detective, Kevin Richlin.
Today, at
the various internet locations one can read the overboard persuasive and lengthy commentaries focused solely on trying to
convince people, to never take the Irene-Amelia claim seriously, and to make sure the Beyond 37' forensic study results are
only described as lacking credibility as linked to the efforts of Amelia Earhart researchers Gervais, Reineck, and Swindell.
About Wikipedia’s falsely portrayed “Irene Craigmile Bolam” biography, (go to Wikipedia and type in
‘Irene Craigmile Bolam’) see the Mandel-Prymak influenced life story account of Irene Craigmile Bolam posted after
the National Geographic Special the two influenced aired. Realize at the same time
however, within the context of the false Wikipedia biography of Irene Craigmile Bolam, you’re also looking at
a nice photo of the former Amelia Earhart. (To hide something valuable, place it right under people's
noses.)
For the “The Lost Flight Of Amelia Earhart” motion picture project and anti Gervais, Reineck, Swindell
tirade essays... Google “The Lost Flight of Amelia Earhart” and “Irene Bolam” with “Mandel.”
This was also provided by AES President Prymak and Alex Mandel, Pat Gaston, and Dave Hoerner.
As far as the long time steering of historical misconception
goes, and the long term anti Irene-Amelia fulminations of Bill Prymak, Richard Gillespie and a few of their sedulous devotees
found on the internet…. there’s plenty of this kind of thing out there. Feel free to take a look, although realize
as well, how conveying the real historical truth about the Gervais-Irene appears to go against the grain of their shared objective.

and the late USAF Col. Rollin C. Reineck (1920-2007). Both were World War Two heroes who learned the basic Irene-Amelia truth
decades ago. Major Gervais, who was considered by many to have been the most devoted Amelia Earhart researcher ever having
pursued the mystery since 1960, discovered the Irene-Amelia reality in 1965. The controversial 1970 McGraw-Hill book
by Joe Klaas, Amelia Earhart Lives expounded on the enormous amount of Joe Gervais' investigative research, and
displayed the first nationally published photo of Irene-Amelia. Fallout the Amelia
Earhart Lives book caused notwithstanding, and still lacking official authoritative guidance, Colonel Reineck spent
the last several years of his life trying to advance the Gervais claim of Earhart's name-changed survival to authenticity.
Colonel Reineck's book Amelia Earhart Survived, published in late 2003, was inspired by the Irene-Amelia forensic
studies of Beyond 37's Tod Swindell. Several portions of the analysis appeared in the Reineck book, although more samples
are better displayed in this website. [Beyond 37' was formed in 2001 by the Tod Evan Company in Los Angeles. It is run
