“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane met no old acquaintances at Star Island or in Boston, nor was any unusual session held. On August 9, Wednesday, Jane was invited by telephone to appear on the Burke TV show in New York City. On the evening of August 15, Tuesday, Jane and I were having supper at an outdoor restaurant, The Californian, at 7th Avenue and Broadway in New York City. At 7:30 PM, we were approached by Merle Cratsley of Odessa, New York, an old friend.

(Merle did not know we were eating there, but did know we were in New York City, having been so informed by phone by his wife, with whom I work in Elmira. He had planned to be in the audience at the Alan Burke TV show August 16. Merle and his wife used to live in the apartment house we occupy in Elmira. They moved perhaps a year and a half ago, and Jane has seen him perhaps once since then. He is hardly forgotten however.

(At the time of the 358th session we did not know Merle was scheduled by his company to be in New York City; nor could he have known where we would be eating supper at that particular time. He had not been to our hotel on 46th Street, since when we met at the restaurant he asked us where we were staying. We believe, however, that he may have had a general idea that we would be staying in the Times Square area.
