From Jim Hitsey, 202 N. Rock Road, # 607,  &#13;
Wichita, Kansas 67206  &#13;
10 March 73&#13;
&#13;
Dear Mr Owens,&#13;
&#13;
This long overdue letter will attempt to bring you up to date on my activities since last seeing you in Jan. Enclosed you will find copies of my law application for your file; please excuse the errors in my personal one as it was hastily copied by my Grandfather's secretary - the original of course was without these.&#13;
&#13;
Two days ago I received word that I was not accepted to Harvard. As you are well aware, my brother and I have been toying with the idea of sailing around the world. The past two days have firmed that decision and although I have not received word from the three other law schools to which I have applied, I have decided to forego that study for at least two years. The trip looks quite possible if my brother and I liquidate our belongings. We anticipate it will&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
take eight months of training after  &#13;
my separation from the Air Force on  &#13;
3 Aug of this year to prepare sufficiently.  &#13;
Let's hope the stock market recovers also  &#13;
to a least the break even point.&#13;
&#13;
I enjoyed the material you have been  &#13;
sending, it is most impressive.&#13;
&#13;
The following is the statement you  &#13;
asked for:&#13;
&#13;
Having never met Mr Ted Owens (PK man)  &#13;
other than over the phone, upon arriving  &#13;
in Cape Charles at 6 AM on Monday, January  &#13;
8, 1973, I proceeded to a local hotel  &#13;
for 5 1/2 hours of sleep. It was during  &#13;
This time That a dream occurred  &#13;
including Mr Owens, my two brothers  &#13;
and myself. The locale appeared to  &#13;
be a Texas ranch. Mr Owens was  &#13;
driving my two brothers and I in a circular  &#13;
car along a fence adjacent to a barn  &#13;
and Corral. Here we were to be taught&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
to fly without artificial aid. This  &#13;
was necessitated to escape the charge of  &#13;
two opposing Horses. The feeling was  &#13;
very real and quite exciting. Mr Owens  &#13;
in person was as he appeared in the  &#13;
dream. One clarification, I had  &#13;
seen pictures of Mr Owens before meeting  &#13;
him.  &#13;
Note: Here is the 3rd pupil of mine to have "sight" phenomena occur while here!  &#13;
Although I have failed to write Mensa by any  &#13;
I must do so as must I finish transcribing  &#13;
the tapes to allow me to practice more  &#13;
readily.&#13;
&#13;
I have not attempted any contact  &#13;
in the country yet but will soon, weather permitting.  &#13;
Speaking of weather, until recently  &#13;
we in Kansas have experienced several  &#13;
weeks of repeated cycles namely extremely  &#13;
warm temperatures followed by equal  &#13;
cold temps accompanied by snow. This  &#13;
cycle repeated itself every week for four to  &#13;
six weeks at least.&#13;
&#13;
Mr Owens, I would be very interested&#13;
