“I stepped into another dimension and observed time and space in such a way that there was a time distortion,” explained Forrest, who holds a Ph. D. in engineering. It was in the middle of a night during April 1985 and Forrest — who grew up here and graduated from Mount Airy High in 1973 — was serving with the U. S. Marines in Corpus Christi, Texas. Other details of that life-changing event are detailed in a book he recently authored, “Reflections of Space and Time,” which has created a bit of a sensation on Amazon. People tend to remember any supernatural experiences that happen in their lives, and former Mount Airy resident Dr. Scott R. Forrest had one that is truly unforgettable. The visionary experience included a giant figure appearing before Forrest and speaking in an audible voice.Source: Mount Airy News

The first 3 posts of this series on Ronald Reagan focused on his all-American background and the domestic policy of the Reagan Administration. From a podium placed on the Western side of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany and standing in front of the infamous Berlin Wall which, for 26 years had separated the Communist East from the Free West, President Reagan challenged... Part 4 of the series will concentrate Ronald Reagan’s global influence, the effect of his Foreign Policy and a few of the extremely dangerous global situations he confronted during his Presidency.
