Sir Oliver Lodge, his work at all levels has interested me since my student days reading physics at Exeter University where, as a mature student with no formal scientific background it was his works on the basics of electricy that explained those principles better than my lecturers did.
Many years later, whilst running my small but successful business I came across his works in relation to his psychical research, not having known about this earlier it surprised and overjoyed me to see where his logic train took him. My own experiences and personal study integrates well with Sir Olivr Lodges findings. I do hope your society an make room for this part of his work too.
