The PG Film - Bob Heironimus and Patty - Part III

I think Krantz and Dahinden were dead before Greg Long wrote his book introducing Bob Heironimus to the public. But maybe those guys heard of BH's name in hushed Bigfooter circles.

BH was on at least one web radio show which had callers asking questions. It was hosted by Tom Biscardi (a Bigfoot priest to many back then) and MK Davis was a caller.

I think that GL was once a speaker at a Bigfoot conference, but I don't know if any priests talked to him there.

Biscardi and Davis were Bigfoot priests but they fell from grace. More accurately, they were expelled from the Cult of Bigfootery. Davis should still have some followers now though hidden in a dark corner of the web.

The actual first item on RK's big list is "When was BH first approached about suit wearing?"
RK writes that in MoB, p. 342, Bob said "...July or August..." while in a 2007 interview he said, "...about September..." (!!)
Stop the presses, people!!! 40 years later, Bob doesn't have a old date book to refer to!! String him up!
but, pardon my common sense, here, might well have been August.

Seriously, RK, WTF?

I left out John Green, who of course denounced the book and Bob H, and came out with his bogus arm "measurements"; also I left out BFBM, who has denounced his story.
My point is that of those "thought leaders" who have some sort of platform to speak about Bob, and pretend to have some informed opinion, none, to my knowledge, have ever made an attempt to seriously talk to him. I could of course add the heroes of the Basement Footers Forum, past and present, who have gone on and on about Bob's bony proportions without ever seeing him.

Some of this is understandable from the lesser lights/TV entertainers, etc; and certainly Bob has created a lot of data by multiple interviews with Long and other media, but when one attempts to take down a person in print or from some sort of platform of academia or scientific analysis, without attempting actual contact, I have to say it's just cowardice and intellectual fraud.

That said, I do give RK credit for using actual quotes from Bob, although the context is not always clear.

A good effort should've been made to get the two Bob's in a room to refute each other's stories, or maybe just to see if they got into a slapping contest. It seems a whole lot could be cleared up by tricking them into the same room and having at it. Get them both to turn up at a certain place with the intention of having a short interview without knowing the other one would also be there, and just see wtf happens. "Let's be 'avin' you, lads!"
 
by contrast, many, if not most of the mainstream and skeptical writers have made it a point to at least try to contact and interview Gimlin.
Just sayin....
The "same room" fantasy is probably never going to happen without some subterfuge, and Gimlin would undoubtedly flee the scene as soon as he realized the situation. That said, it still might happen...

If it were up to me I'd trick them into it and would lock them in the ******* room until something worthwhile happened.
 
Another one of the interesting relationships (or non-relationships) in the West Valley community is that between Bob H and Mrs. Patterson. They grew up together. She now lives in a tidy "manufactured home" park only a couple of miles from Bob and Gimlin. Her silence on the subject of the film is even more deafening than that of Mrs. Gimlin. Of course, the bleevers pay no attention to the silence of either one of these women, both of whom know the truth.
 
Bob H. grew up in Tampico, a crossroads community located west of Yakima; he went to school there, and everybody knew everybody. The area is in a broad valley flanked by mostly bald hills, with trees along Ahtanum Creek. It is hard to imagine how the "Bigfoot" of modern folklore would be living around there. Which is exactly how Les Johnson and others felt about the whole hoorah that Patterson ushered in, in 1966, as detailed in MoB. Jerry Lee's old place is only a few feet away from the now-widened and paved road; so close that the old front door had to be abandoned. The entrance is now around back. The cottonwood trees where Patterson built his lookout are still there, about 50 yards from the house. The Western village was in a pasture about 100 yards behind the house. None of the buidlings persist. Farther west the valley narrows rapidly beyond the Tampico crossroads, following the South Fork of the Ahtanum. Patterson's place is uninhabited today, but the buildings are still there, and the pasture where Bob H. learned to walk in the costume. Between Pattersons and Tampico is an old landing strip, on the south side of the road, and it was in the hills above that where the the spring filming was done.

I wonder if while he was learning to walk in that pasture Roger Patterson allowed Bob H. the use of a teething ring and/or an off-road baby walker. It was a special time and they should have had some special equipment. :eye-poppi
 
Gerald Aka Jerry Lee Merritt's sister lived next door to the Mondor place where the Pattersons lived as of the mid-60's. Her husband at that time gave Greg Long an interview, anonymously, supposedly. Haha. Long did not always comply with the wishes of those who trusted him. The man was another long time area resident who knew of Patterson's activities and wanted nothing to do with him. Unfortunately Roger burned him on a $700 phone bill. I don't know how much that is in today's money but the family was not well off. They are also the family who witnessed the nearby campfire that Roger claimed to was at Mt. St. Helen. There is more to their story, however.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Speaking of which, I see that Mt. St. Helens is gearing up for another eruption.

Yeah, I read about that, although I'm not sure how certain they are of it erupting so soon.

One thing's for sure, it'll be devastating to local life, and wildlife that actually exists, ruling out giant magical monkey-men.
 
Mt. St. Helens eruptions have a devastating effect on Wood Apes. Wait. I mean Mountain Apes. Boogers.
 
The totality of the non-support of the Patterson-Gimlin story by their families and really by anyone in Yakima prior to 2003 is quite impressive, and in contrast with the acceptance of Bob H as an honest guy and the subject of the film.

For those of you who don’t follow Meldrum’s pitiful Relict Hominoid Inquiry, I would call attention to a piece by Murphy (he of the Hancock House PGF picture books) in the Brief Communications Section last year. It is quite odd and quite bad and very outdated. And he says Meldrum (he of the Todd Standing camp) helped him with it!!! It makes me wonder if this is some old thing from like 2006 before Bill Munns got involved.
