The following is an excerpt from "MSN UFO Forum's IRC Chat with Richard Hoagland On Tuesday December 30, 1997," hosted by Diana Botsford and Copyrighted 1996-1998 by Jeroen Wierda Picard UFO Research International (PUFORI), now defunct. I believe it was posted to the PUFORI Web site (http://www.pufori.org/) in January 1998. Who gave you the Ångstrom Medal? And, has anyone else ever won it, besides art bell? Is that a serious question ... "Digger?" is the Angstrom a serious award? What was the medal awarded for, Richard? Science? Yes Digger - it is a serious award. has anyone else ever won it? who gave it to you? Of course. It's history goes back about 115 years. Check out the Angstrom website, if you want a full history. I'll get the URL in just a sec. _____________________________________________________ Comment from Alan G. Archer: Ms. Diana Botsford failed to provide the forum with the Angstrom Foundation Web site URL because The Angstrom Foundation AB never had a Web site. And the history of The Angstrom Foundation AB goes all the way back to 1990. The medal's history goes back to 1886 (111 years in 1997). Home: http://home.teleport.com/~photoget/angstrom.htm
