From: "Al seckel" To: "Jeffrey Epstein" <jeevacationggmail.com> Subject: Re: Fw: Pearce declaration Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 21:54:49 +0000 The Caltech card is not a forgery, and my Caltech ID number is there. NEither is the Feynman dedication to me. I was just worried, because McIver and his cohorts literally deluged Caltech with inflamatory letters and statements about me, accusing me of all sorts of moral and ethical violations. Hitler would have scored better. You can see Christofs declaration to the judge. So, what I worry about, is that although officially registered, and so forth, my file at Caltech, at the register's office, is still filled with this crap. They don't know me there, so all they have to do is go into that file and go "Holy Shit!" :-( It would be the equivalent of your new investors wanting to visit the archives of the Daily Beast to see if you were a person of noteworthy character.... and that is what they were going to base their decision on. Yuck. He needs to talk to the people who know me, know my work, and there are plenty of those, as well as judge the thing on its merits, as well as Caprice Young, who is my partner in this, who has outstanding credentials in the educational space.

Forwarded Message From: Al seckel < To: Andrew Krastins < Sent: Tue, October 2, 2007 12:05:14 PM Subject: Pearce declaration ALFRED PAUL SECKEL, a resident of California, Plaintiff, v. EFTA00751361 TOM McIVER, an individual, and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Defendants. CASE NO.: CV03-6606 CAS (PLAX) DECLARATION OF L. PEARCE WILLIAMS, Ph.D L. Pearce Williams, declare: I have personal knowledge of the facts as set forth below. I am not a party to this action. I hold the position of Professor Emeritus in the History of Science at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. I am attaching as Exhibit A, a true and correct CV of my resume. I first met Mr. Seckel in the fall of 1976, when William Provine, another professor in the history of science, introduced us. We shared a mutual love of books and the history of science. Between 1976 and 1980, Seckel and I developed a very close professor/student relationship, and we spent a good deal of time together and developed a close personal friendship. During those four years, Seckel was enrolled in several of my courses at Cornell, including my History of Western Civilization Class, and some of my upper level history of science seminars. He was an unusually bright student and did all the required course work with passion and enthusiasm. Attached as exhibit B, is a true and correct copy of an inscription that I handwrote to Seckel, which summed up my high opinion of Seckel as my former student, "To Al Seckel, my most unusual, and possibly best, student. Pearce." My close relationship to Al Seckel continued after his departure from Cornell University as well as to Laura Seckel. In fact, I was a member of their wedding party. My friendly relations with Al Seckel continue to this day, and I was extremely honored when he returned to Cornell University in 2004 to give the Presidential lecture on his work in visual perception. I attended that lecture, which was introduced by then Cornell President Jeffrey Lehman. Seckel's dedication to me at the end brought tears to my eyes. I was proud of him and that my former student turned out so well. It is my understanding that a Tom McIver, who I do not know, is using my name and reputation to spread false and defamatory information about my relationship to Al Seckel as well as my family. The document that Tom McIver is using in my name is an outright forgery, and I would have never have written such a document. It is not true that Al Seckel has ever tried to defraud either me or any member of my family. It is not true that I have ever called him a "thief." Mr. Seckel possesses an excellent knowledge of the history of science, and any representations to the contrary are false. These and any other such false and heinous representations said to be in my name are not only harmful to Mr. Seckel fine reputation, but to mine as well. I have never, nor would I state such things about Mr. Seckel. In fact, I have maintained extremely cordial relations with Mr. Seckel through the present day, and when he comes to Ithaca, he is always welcome as a guest who stays with us at our home. He is also friendly with my son Adam. In addition, when Mr. Seckel ran the Southern California Skeptics in the 80s, I came out and visited him, and EFTA00751362 lectured for the group at Caltech. 8. Attached to this Declaration as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of a note in my hand, dated May 25, 1982, which I sent to Al Seckel. 9. Attached to this Declaration as Exhibit B is my [DATE] letter to [Al Seckel or to Al & Laura etc.] I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this day of October, 2007, at , New York. L. PEARCE WILLIAMS Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Yahoo! Answers - Check it out.
