venue KSU portion (or possibly Cleveland)
Tim Calhoun, Tim Franta, Harnish speak. Rose speaks to Andy.
venue Pittsburgh portion
Venue is Synod Hall, Oakland, PA, see Whitely email below
This is in Pittsburgh but not at the University (Pitt). (file mj1 at 03:22)
At dm5-18:36 – Rose gives location as Pittsburgh
At dm4-21:52 Rose says, “But what time is it ? Oh it’s 6 o’clock.” April 3, 1979 was a Tuesday – odd that it’s so early.]
Email from Mike Whitely, Feb 3, 2016: “We could not get a room on the Pitt campus, so that year we had Rose speak at the Synod Hall, a community room next to Saint Patrick's Cathedral. It's on Craig Street in Oakland very close to the Pitt campus. So you could say Synod Hall in Oakland near the Pitt campus.
dm7-07:11 [Grating noise (some kind of machine?) here same as the noise in the unknown “ashram” tape, but happens only once. But it may help establish that the ashram meeting was in Pittsburgh]
File 0 Pittsburgh, Intro (mj0, dm0)
Total time: 1 min 32 secs.
Introduction by Mike Whitely:
dm0-00:00
Many of you, I’m sure are familiar with Richard Rose already; but some of you may not be, so I’ll try to fill in a little bit. He’s kind of a hard man to define in a lot of ways. I could say that he’s a writer, or maybe a researcher, or maybe a philosopher, and those things would be true. And I could say he’s a father and he raised a family. Or he was a contractor, because he did that for years. Or that he was a teacher. That’s what he’s interested in now. And those things would be true, but I think they all would be pretty much off the mark a little bit.
I could say that he spent a lot of time seeking himself and studying different systems, eastern philosophy, western philosophy, joining a lot of movements and evaluating them; because he was curious and he had questions that he would really like answers to. And that would be true too. But I think all of those things, even though they are true, all of them miss the mark. So that kind of leaves me in a quandary and the only thing I have left to do now is to ….
R. Don’t tell them about the time I spent in jail.
[laughter]
M. I was just getting to that. But now that he’s filled you in on that tidbit, the only thing I can do now is to present Richard Rose, who’s coming to share his insights on psychology and whatever.
R. Thank you Mike.
