It is paramount to always check sources in research because often times the most important factoid or the entire context of something is left out. In the case of this previously cited source:
"First, we would like to state that THE VISITOR is not published by the Study Group on Interplanetary Relations. The SGIR was dissolved almost two years ago. The Interplanetary Relations has been formed by a group of independent civilian UFO investigators with headquarters in Detroit. This group did include a large number of members of the old SGIR who wished to take a continued active part in Flying Saucer research. The group's name (has led to) confusion as to the identification and affiliation. It now appears certain that this group will select a new name and we will announce this as soon as it has been decided upon."
it leaves off the most relevant part concerning the Interplanetary Relations group, it's founder Laura Marxer:
"Mrs. Laura Marxer now heads the Interplanetary Foundation which maintains its headquarters in Royal Oak. Also, Mrs. Mary Jane McGleish has never been the editor of THE VISITOR.
Don Wysocki, editor
THE VISITOR
Belleville, Michigan"
A paragraph and address which would have simplified things entirely if I had checked the source firsthand instead of simply quoting another page.
The tone of the missive by Mr. Wysocki seems conciliatory and respectful and makes it seem that she has left the group and formed her own new group called the Interplanetary Foundation.
It also dismisses Mary Jane McGleish as having ever been the editor of The Visitor.
