 		Here is the email (for posterity). It leads us to the Bickle puzzle.

Mine includes a little bit of personalization in the beginning. Guess he won't be visiting me in Las Vegas before heading back east. Aw shucks.

Hi Heather:

Well, believe it or not I'm still stuck here in Gold Hill, but not for too much longer. If I had known I was going to be here this long I would have headed to vegas to look you up.

I wanted to let you I finally heard from Jaimie. I sent her an e-mail updating her as to my plans, now that it looks like she will be staying at the Dream Projector facility a little longer than planned.

Speaking of which, I wanted to let you know what I am up to also. I've spent the last few days working on the pages from the book I found as well as checking out the Gold Hill area. A few people wrote to me about the old photograph I found tucked inside the book, to tell me that the picture was of the Gold Hill Fire House. A couple also mentioned that they saw a word apparently scratched into the photograph, the word BICKLE. Well, even though the Fire House is no longer standing there still may be something worth looking into, as I found "Bickle" is a well-known name around here and part of a long-standing unsolved mystery to boot.

I don't have time to go into the details about what I found in each e-mail I write but I put a brief report and some images up on my Ronsworld site at www.ronsworld.org/goldhillupdate.html .

I am heading up to Minnesota to meet with this Charles guy from the Cambridge Mental Hospital in just a little bit. I really hope I'll have more luck looking around this time with someone who knows the property like Charles does. I'll keep you posted on what I find.

Thanks for all your help.

Ron

I have also been working on trying to translate the Latin from the old book for several days now with the help of an old lady here in Gold Hill that used to teach Latin years ago. I think she took some literal license to make it sound more poetic, but I'm useless with Latin so who knows? Several other people wrote me about the same passage and sent me results that were very close to ours. Here's what I (and the old lady) came up with:

Born of assassins, sages and knights
Hidden in prayers, magic, and rites
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

We are the shepherds, the keepers (?) of herds
Hidden in symbols, artwork, and words
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

The youngest of seven, the princes of Thebes
Spared by Apollo young Ilioneus flees
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

The deepest of secrets, a shadow through time
From seventh to seventh, an unbroken line
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

We are the holders of knowledge forbidden
In places of power and worship we've hidden
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

A mask in a mask, and another behind
Leaving no trace of our power through time
The seventh of seven, the lore made flesh

I've also been working on trying to figure out what all the damn symbols might mean but haven't come up with anything definitive yet. I'll let you know if I do.

I am heading up to Minnesota to meet with this Charles guy from the Cambridge Mental Hospital in just a little bit. I really hope I'll have more luck looking around this time with someone who knows the property like Charles does. I'll keep you posted on what I find.

Thanks for all your help.

 		My email was the same but with a slightly personalized ending:

I'll keep you posted on what I find. Depending on the schedule we work out, I'll try and give you a call while I am up in your area. Maybe this time I'll actually get through to you. Wink


I hope he does try again...
