That's very interesting Bo,
When you say a "story" by the Swedish journalist, was it a report or
something more creative, with fictional license ? I've corresponded
with at least four people who've visited Gennie DeWeese in recent
years and no-one has mentioned this manuscript, despite the fact that
Gennie and her daughter still welcome the chance to talk to ZMM
"pilgrims". Intriguing.
I must ask around.
Bo, is it possible to see a copy of the Swedish arcticle - scanned maybe ?
