Dr. Socak,
Norwood has asked that I contact you regarding the forgetter. It seems you
have been in correspondence with this individual, and I feel that my previous
experience with this individual may provide you with the insight necessary
to appropriately evaluate this person's stories.
I have been aware of this individual for some time, though Norwood has not.
I have not mentioned my experiences to Norwood because it would be disastrous
to my reputation to acknowledge what is commonly believed to be a figment
of the imagination. Acknowledging the forgetter is the equivalent in the
lab of reporting the existence on earth of space aliens. It would be hard
to get support for it's investigation, even with impeccable evidence.
One of the most unusual things about the forgetter that I have become aware
of is his tendency to hallucinate. This tendency has severe effects on his
reasoning abilities, and while he may believe the stories he tells, they
are based in a hallucinated event. They are pictures created in his own
mind reflected back at him, and have nothing factual to offer. Professionally,
I would recommend that you not waste your time on information provided by
the forgetter.
Thank you for your time. I look forward to our next meeting.
Sincerely,
Dr. Leon Harmond
