In my recent viewing of the Hammond tape, the camera cut several times 
to audience shots Jerry (and Debbie) -- including what appeared to be 
their rising to their feet for a "standing ovation" at the end (or 
maybe they were just getting up to leave while still momentarily 
clapping).


When things seemed a bit odd in the TMO (in pre 1975, before things 
got far more weird, IMO), I used to look to Jerry as a sort of sanity 
test / vetting process. That is, Jerry seemed fairly balanced, 
intelligent, and rational. I assumed that if he was able to reconcile 
TMO craziness, on the whole, given his larger access, context and 
history to all things MMY and TMO, the ship was probably safe and 
strong -- and headed in the right direction.
In retrospect, not my best decision, but at the time, as a teenager 
and young adult, Jerry appeared to be one of the better anchors in 
choppy waters.


I have little knowledge of Jerry's activities over the past 35 years 
or so and thus I have little basis for placing much weight on his 
current views. Yet, I still have at least some lingering respect for 
Jerry from earlier days.
Has anyone talked to Jerry (or heard second hand) his reaction to the 
Nov 30 talk (and or his presumed discussions with Hammond)?
