Fan Mail
Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 14th, 2010
Recently, I received a short note. This is just a moment here to say, I read and do appreciate all such mail. Thanks to everyone that writes!
This young person (hey, she’s still young to me) sent this along:
I wrote you a letter about becoming a cryptozoologist when I was 16 years old, and when you wrote back, it just about made my year 🙂I’m 25 now and am still a big fan of yours. Thanks for all of the great work you’ve done!
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
That is quite an uplifting anecdote 🙂
Good show, Loren…
I like your comment about something right!
She seems to be following her dream….AWESOME!!!!
That is a great story, Loren, and I hope you take some justifiable pride in knowing that your positive impact on a young person in the past has borne such excellent fruit in the present. That’s a lovely shot of the Common Yellowthroat, BTW – one of my favorite local birds (we have them in our part of California).
