Larry W. Bryant Obituary - Altmeyer

My good friend and UFO buddy since I was a teenager died on October 12 in Hampton, Virginia, at the age of 82. A mimeograph machine he found on the street and which he gave me kickstarted my publishing endeavors. Larry had a long Civil Service career beginning in 1958 as a Technical Writer working at the U.S. Continental Army Command at Ft. Monroe, Virginia, and ending in Washington, DC, as a Writer/Editor for the Chief of Public Affairs at the Pentagon. But his day job didn't stop him from filling Freedom of Information Act requests with the Army, Navy, and Air Force for their UFO records, as well as filing first amendment UFO-related lawsuits as the Director of the Washington D.C. office of Citizen’s Against UFO Secrecy. He was a thorn in the side of the US government, and its efforts to stop him failed. Larry made his voice heard far and wide through hundreds if not thousands of letters-to-the-editor to newspapers around the country on a variety of subjects, from the protection of civil liberties to the socio-political aspects of UFOlogy. He wrote countless articles on UFOs for a wide range of magazines, maintained a UFO blog, and authored several books, including UFO Politics at the White House. His enormous collection of UFO books and materials has been donated to the Archives of the Impossible at Rice University. His daughter, Gretchen Condon, took loving care of her dad, a kind and gentle soul, through the ravages of Parkinson's until the very end. Goodbye, dear Larry. (PH)
