Thanks Tord's son. Nice to know we are both PKDickHeads. I've never heard the claim that it was Tord who came up with the wrinkle, but coming from this source (you), it should be taken very seriously. My email, if you want to keep in touch, is BPC101radpub@gmail.com

Didn't you used to be a character in a PK Dick story?

Simon Walton is one the self-disappeared. There's a London newspaper report from 1964 saying he was sentenced along with a young women and and an American man to 3 months detention for possession of opiu,m and hemp. He was 18 at the time, 'dress designe student') so he may still be out there somewhere.

Hi David. It’s actually Tord’s son, although I am partial to PKD.

This story is complete nonsense. So much time has passed since these events happened and I’m really tired of seeing much of the information being distorted and misreported. The few people who remain alive are just re-writing history from their perspective. I’m sorry that you weren’t bright enough not to get caught doing what you did. My dad was one of the few trained professional chemists involved in the underground manufacturing process. He was running the lab in Paris with Linker as his lab assistant and he came up with what has been referred to as “the wrinkle”. He described all of this to me in great detail in the 1980’s and Kemp has been trying to claim credit for this process for years. Linker had also confirmed with me that it was my father that happened upon the crystallization method completely by accident, not Kemp. There have been so many things that have been written inaccurately about what happened with Ron and my dad. Most of the people that were actually there have been dead for many years now and cannot defend themselves. I want no part of this, however, I would only ask that you make the attempt to get the story straight and do your research.
