It was quiet on the Shamcher Bulletin front over the winter, but some things have been cooking along in the Shamcher Archives - so it’s time for an update. As I compile this, I realize there’s lots more to come - this is just a brief digest featuring a few of the archival treasures coming to light.
I love the sign over the door. It has the power of intention and speaks to all you are giving to all of us, Carol.. And the letter you found is a true treasure. I love your posts and you too.
Thanks for featuring Mansur's memoir, Shamcher, FREE, among your list of Shamcher books. I am proud that your rendering of my book remains on line for free. Thank you, dear Carol.
I think your book on working with Shamcher on his struggle for OTEC, focuses on so many of the very real issues that came up as groups of well-meaning scientists faced the realities of public opinion, so often shaped by commercial interests of government lobbyists. In the archives there are copies of the official proposed OTEC bill. How many other solar efforts from the 1970s (and earlier, and later) have been diverted or quietly silenced?

Thanks so much for all your support! Sending love right back to you - and gratitude

Happy to see these springtime stirrings! Yes, a sign on the door is actually more substantial than many contemporary (virtual) institutes.
Thanks! You can do it, too. (Perhaps you already have!)
