"I regard the creation of the Mind Science Foundation as the most important undertaking of my life … The human mind has tremendous unexplored potential and I want to go about the discovery and development of that potential in a scientific way." - Tom Slick "Thomas Baker "Tom" Slick, Jr. (May 6, 1916 – October 6, 1962) was a San Antonio, Texas based inventor, businessman, adventurer, and heir to an oil business. Slick's father, Thomas Baker Slick, Sr., a.k.a. "The King of the Wildcatters", had made a fortune during the Texas oil boom of the 1920s. "During the 1950s, Slick was an adventurer. He turned his attention to expeditions to investigate the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, Bigfoot and the Trinity Alps giant salamander."
