Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Michael Persinger. My sincerest condolences to his family. Dr. Persinger was kind and generous with his genius. He kindled even the slightest spark of sincere, scientific interest. Like so many others, I left his mentorship blessed by the experience. Forty years later, I am still motivated to make some contribution which might help to repay my indebtedness to this great man. One can only hope that Dr. Persinger's generous spirit will be soaring, and to see that wry, amused smile of his, on that day when popular, enlightened thought catches up to the brilliance of his ideas.
