What I've Learned
This is the section I will be updating regularly as I stitch together the various, often jumbled pieces of my grandfather John Wheeler's tragic life story. The item serving as my Rosetta Stone is a journal he started in 1966 on his way to a secret base in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. Some of the journal pages are missing, others are frustratingly torn or smudged, but at least they give me some idea of the meaning behind the piles of photos, notes, postcards, Super 8 movies and other materials I have spread out all over my room.
The most recent updates will always be at the top of the page, so please start reading from the bottom post. I will try my best to present this information in a way that makes sense, but much of it is still a mystery to me. If you have any insights or ideas you feel make more sense, or if you know anyone who worked on Project Rainbow and would be willing to come forward and share what they know, PLEASE do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time.
