Sure. Besides someone posing as his neice/nurse -- it could also have been a 
cooked up or doctored story by the women (or woman) who told me about it 
(along with others at the NYC ULT Lodge) and also Anita Atkins in California. 
Except for me, most of those people are dead by now and can't verify anything. 
However, the evidence that convinces me is based on personal study, careful 
comparative analysis, and knowledge of the people involved, that cannot be 
offered to others as valid proof that Einstein had to have studied the SD prior to 
his discoveries -- even if he didn't own a personal copy -- which I seriously 
doubt... As, I know much about his close personal friendship with Robert 
Millikan, along with several other industrialists and scientists who were also 
friends or acquaintances of my father (a physical chemist and industrialist) ... 
All of whom were known theosophists (or Freemasons) and had the Secret Doctrine 
in their own libraries. Besides, almost everything Einstein ever said, wrote 
or did was perfectly consistent with theosophical teachings. Of course, 
Einstein could have never cited the SD as a reference, since HPB was not a 
credentialed scientist. Enough said. Believe what you want to.
