Since there's been a lot of "Cloudbusting" talk in the group lately, I
thought I'd pass along the address for the Wilhelm Reich Museum, which
is open during the summer months on Reich's old Orgonon estate.  Info
courtesy of the book "Weird, Wonderful America".

	Wilhelm Reich Museum
	Orgonon
	Rangley, ME 04970
	(207) 864-3443

	Hours: July-Aug: Tue-Fri 10AM-5PM, Sat-Sun 1-5PM
	       Sept: Sun only, 1-5PM
	Admission: Free
	Getting There: Rangeley, in the northwestern part of the state,
	       can be reached by taking Hwy. 4 N. from US Hwy. 2.

They mention that Reich's workshops are displayed intact, and that there's
some hardware on display including something the book calls a "Stormbuster".
Take that as you may.  Hope some Love-Hounds can make a pilgrimage and
report back . . . sounds like an interesting place even without the KaTe
connection.

Sounds as though some people are thinking of making a trip to Orgonon.
If so, let me know. I will be in New Hampshire next year and fancy a
trip to Maine. But I have already seen a genuine Reichian orgone 
accumulator, at a museum in Wien this summer. (Yes, I got back from
Europe only yesterday.) The exhibition, called "Wunderblock", was
assembled for the 50th anniversary of Freud's death. The orgone device
looked like a wooden box with a metal lining, and looked none too
cosy, being on the small side for an adult.

nice to be getting love-hounds again
