Brenda McClurkin works with the Special Collections at the University of Texas at Arlington.  Part of that collection is tens of thousands of photographs taken by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram over the decades. She has worked with several people in an attempt to read what we all call the Ramey Memo, which is a document held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey in his office on July 8, 1947. It was a series of photographs taken by Fort Worth Star-Telegram Photographer J. Bond Johnson after the newspaper was alerted to the flying saucer debris was being sent from Roswell, New Mexico. In one of the photographs, Ramey is holding a document that is turned slightly toward the camera which can almost be read. Brenda was instrumental in getting permission for a team of researchers, using the latest equipment and technology in to attempt to read the memo. Without her help and support, none of it would have happened.
