Theos-Talk Archives (October 2000 Message tt00304)

Kat is probably referring to Talbot Mundy, author of KING OF THE KHYBER
RIFLES; OM; OLD UGLY FACE and many more. I SAY SUNRISE was his philosophical
non-fiction book. He also wrote many articles on Theosophical themes for the
Tingley era magazines.

The "gentleman" is Emmett Small, now 97 years strong. My wife and I saw him
6 months ago -- not as spry as couple of years ago, but still a damn fine
theosophist. His Point Loma publications has a website at:
