Ann Blyth began her legendary singing career at an early age. A radio singer at age 5, American actress Ann Blyth studied for an operatic career, making her debut with the San Carlo Opera Company. At age 15, Ann's dramatic talents led her to play Paul Lukas' daughter in the Broadway production, Watch on the Rhine.Two years later she was under contract to Universal studios.
Ann Blyth showed her pervasive talents and was cast as Joan Crawford's hateful daughter,Veda, in Mildred Pierce (1945). For this performance, Ann was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress.
After recovering from a serious back injury, Ann Blyth worked in dozens of films, alternating between light parts to her tough dramatic portrayal of Regina Hubbard in Another Part of the Forest (1948).
Ann also played in fantasies, starring in Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948). She further displayed her beautifully trained voice in such musicals as The Student Prince (1954), Rose Marie (1955) and Kismet (1956). She also played a real-life songstress in The Helen Morgan Story (1957). She is well remembered for her portrayal of the wife of the legendary opera star, in The Great Caruso (1951) with Mario Lanza. Here Ann introduced the beautiful song, It's the Loveliest Night of the Year. Time and space prevents noting all of Ann Blyth's many films.
In 1953, Ann wed Dr. James McNulty and had five children. Ann is a devout Roman Catholic which is shown throughout her film career and especially in the documentary Crusade for Prayer. Ann's later career led her back to the stage, onto television in the hit series, Wagon Train, in concerts and, in the late 1970s, she showed up as the surprisingly domesticated spokesperson for Hostess Cupcakes.
For generations Ann Blyth has brought us her classic beauty, musical and dramatic talents, and profound family values. Her legacy is enduring. Women's International Center is proud and delighted to present the 2003 Living Legacy Award to the multi-talented Ann Blyth.

At this stage of the war, people didn't yet know what was going on; they did not receive information, and there was great confidence in our ability to withhold [withstand an attack], and there was no panic - on the contrary, people mobilized, people came from abroad, students rushed to the embassies, and there was a feeling of confidence that we would overcome the situation.

obsession 443.obs.9383837 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
"Any normal person who believed sadism and rape were abhorrent and who found that her boyfriend was into those things would have been gone," said Dr. Seifert. "She stayed, which tells you something about the sort of person she is."
She said Davis' obsession with violent pornography should have been her first clue.
"An alcoholic can't have a drink or he's off and running again," said Dr. Seifert. "Sex offenders, in my opinion, should not have access to porn, or they can be off and running again."

decorated 448.dec.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Azur (between 1957-1975?). Dayan started to rob this site as early as 1957 (Perrot and Ladiray 1980:27, 43). He made many robbing visits to this site, on the southern outskirts of Tel-Aviv. Arieh Rosenbaum, a local 10 years old child then, helped him. Dayan exchanged antiquities with Arieh, who used to inform him when antiquities were revealed during construction works. Dayan claimed that he was saving antiquities that would otherwise be ruined by the construction (Dayan 1978:132; Ben-Ezer 1997:217-222).
Menashe Busheri (Brosh), the IDAM supervisor of this area, reported more than once during 1964 that the site was being robbed. On 30.11.1964 Brosh reported (Azur administrative file, IAA Archive): �I made a tour near the Philistine cemetery, and it seems that there are excavations outside the fence. The area is full of pits and broken vessels... This area, situated outside the fence recently built by the Moslem Department of the Ministry of Religion, does not contain late burials, and is purely an Iron Age cemetery.� Broken parts of vessels are thrown in heaps, including Philistine decorated fragments. It is very difficult to protect this site, since it seems that it is being robbed on Friday nights and Saturdays [Israeli weekends- R.K.]. Since this is not the first report I am writing on [illicit] diggings at this site, I think an act to save this important site must be initiated, otherwise I�m afraid it will be too late�.
On 7.1.1965 Brosh caught Dayan robbing this place. There are two reports by Brosh (Azur administrative files, IAA archives), from 7.1 and 13.1.1965. Both reports are very similar, but the second is longer- presumably Brosh was asked to hand a more detailed report. I will quote this report here:� �On 7.1.1965, at 15.15, while driving on the bus from Tel Aviv to Ashdod on my way home, I saw someone who seemed to be digging at the site. I asked the bus driver to halt at the nearest bus stop, and from there walked back on foot to the site of the Philistine cemetery. On arriving, I saw Moshe Dayan [later, the word �Mr.� was added above the line] digging in the site and taking out parts of vessels. I greeted him, and addressed him with a question:
Question: Do you know that you are digging in an antiquities site?

bottom 993.bot.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Were the radiation readings significant?
In his book Open Skies, Closed Minds, Nick Pope described the radiation readings taken by Col. Halt’s team at the supposed UFO landing site in Rendlesham Forest as “the most tangible proof that something extraordinary happened there”. To justify such a claim, it is essential that the readings are shown to be beyond reproach.
My original conclusion, based on telephone discussions with the UK’s National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB), was that the figures reported in Col. Halt’s memo,
Halt’s peak measurement was the bottom reading on the lowest range of the monitor
from 0.05 to 0.1 milliroentgens, were simply background levels of radiation. (As a technical aside, the correct units should have been milliroentgens per hour – the use of incorrect units seems to betray an unfamiliarity with radiation monitoring).

puzzle 33.puz.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
After accepting that I was an abductee, I began a very personal journey to find the truth. I have never been someone to sit back and pretend something isn’t going on. I do much better when I confront things head on, even if that is difficult in the short term. This attitude eventually led me to explore my experiences with the use of hypnosis. It was not a decision I made lightly or quickly. I struggled with it for over two years before beginning. I was quite concerned with false memory syndrome as I was focused on finding the truth, not someone else’s agenda.
As I look back over many hypnosis sessions now, I know it was the right decision for me. It has been both difficult and enlightening, but overall I have gotten a tremendous amount out of it. I feel quite strongly that these are real memories, not false ones. The events I have explored fit into the larger picture of my life like the missing pieces of a puzzle. Behavior that once seemed odd is suddenly explainable. I now understand what my “sleepwalking” really was and I know how I got locked out of the house. I know why things with large eyes scare me, and I think that given what I was going through, my fear of the dark was quite reasonable at the time.
It has been a long journey to get to where I am today, and at the age of 42, the journey is still ongoing. I have chosen to continue with the hypnosis, even though it is difficult at times. I still believe knowing the truth and putting the pieces – all of the pieces - of my life together in a coherent form is better than ignoring a major portion of it. I like knowing why I feel a certain way or why I acted in some fashion. I don’t like being a part of this phenomenon, and that is something I will most likely always struggle with. I would love to find a reasonable alternate explanation for all of this, but in my heart I doubt that will happen. I would also like to find a way to stop my abductions, but again, that is unlikely and I have faced that fact. Until something changes, knowing the truth is the best I can do for both myself and for my family.

Hannibal 33.han.o3 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Abductees can sometimes carry on conversations with other abductees whom they encounter on board a UFO. Human-to-human communication can either be by telepathy or by voice. When talking to another human, the abductees do not consciously chose telepathy or voice. They simply do one or the other. Why humans can communicate orally with one another is a mystery given that it is apparently very difficult in other abduction contexts. It is possible, and even likely, that they only think they are talking normally but they are actually communicating telepathically.
When humans converse with one another, their conversations typically often involve how they can escape from the UFO or what the aliens are going to do to them. Often one abductee tries to calm or reassure other abductees saying that the aliens will not hurt them and they will be leaving soon. In effect they do the aliens' work for them. Whether this is because of alien design or because it stems from human compassion remains to be seen. Although these types of conversation seem reasonable on the surface, in fact they are somewhat frustrating for the researcher. Only rarely will the abductees exchange their names and addresses. Even though they have been abducted many times before, they seem unaware that they will most likely forget the experience directly afterwards and it does not occur to them that it might be important to locate the person whom they saw on board for verification of their experience. Much of this has to do with the aliens’ abilities to neurologically alter the mechanisms of memory and consciousness that is beyond the scope of this paper.7
