Dear Laurel: Brilliant! The burgeoning industry that is publishing of books on Rosslyn/Sinclairs/Knights Templar/ Rennes-le-Chateau/Prieure de Sion means that some are going to be great, many are going to be suspect, and some are going to be absolute clunkers manufactured out of whole cloth. We believe (at our peril it would appear) that if a writer goes to the trouble to produce a manuscript and then engage a publisher, that there would be some modicum of a vetting process for same that would stop such folly as Laurel has uncovered. I too was at Oak Island just under a month ago and toured, just before Niven and his group, with Don Blankship the various sites. Such a thing as a Gunn Coat of Arms would have been, how to put this, on the front burner. It is extraordinarily disconcerting to then read this correspondence that there is a photo of this coat of arms that was dug up at Oak Island. Our story is not an easy one where hard evidence abounds. It is incumbent on us to be rigourous in our researches. Wow!
