A guard today could easily tip the scales at over 300 pounds. This man probably weighed all of 150 soaking wet.

I'm a senior at GW and I had never heard the word "Hatchetite" before in my life. Some searching turned up this article.

I have some time to kill on campus tonight so I'll pull the 1926 microfilm where they advise on the name change to Colonials.

And about the UFO memo, the closing seems a bit odd:

"No further evaluation was attempted by SA [special agent] [name excised] concerning the above."

GUY L. HOTTEL, FBI Agent

Guy Llewellyn Hottel, 88, a retired executive secretary of the Horsemen's Benevolent And Protective Association and a former FBI agent, died of a heart ailment June 6 at a nursing home in Lewes, Del.

Mr. Hottel, who had lived in Rehoboth Beach since 1977, was a native of New Market, Va. He graduated from George Washington University.

In 1934, he joined the FBI as a special agent in Washington. He became chief of the agency's Washington field office in World War II, transferred to the identification division in 1951 and retired in 1955.

He then went to work at the Horseman's Benevolent And Protective Association, an organization representing owners and trainers of thoroughbred horses. He received its outstanding achievement award in 1973 and retired in 1974.

Mr. Hottel was a member of the Columbia Country Club.

His marriages to Adele Brossard Hottel and Aileen Hottel ended in divorce.

Survivors include his wife, Edna DiShong Hottel of Rehoboth Beach; a son from his first marriage, Chandler V. Hottel of Washington; a son from his second marriage, William G. Hottel of Tempe, Ariz.; and a grandchild.

According to the Social Security Death Index, Guy Hottel, whose social security number was issued in the District of Columbia, was born March 12, 1902, and died June 6, 1990. Apparently playing football in a leather helmet didn't do too much damage.

That was a really cool memo - very fun.

Guy Hottel's memo about an informant reporting the three aliens in the flying saucer must be true. After all, he did play football while wearing a helmet.

Of course, it was a leather helmet...much like the one worn by President Gerald Ford at Michigan.

OK - false alarm.

Strange how in the report it is mentioned that there were LGM inside. Things that make you go hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
