Hey Lekatt,
I’ll spend the money for a stamp to get your service records. I can then email a scanned pdf to any and all doubters. That’ll shut 'em up. Just provide me w/ the info below and I’ll fill out the Standard Form 180, (SF180).
Certain basic information is needed to locate military service records:
complete name used while in service
branch of service, and dates of service
date and place of birth
place of discharge
last unit of assignment
place of entry into the service
It also asks for service number or SS#. I don’t know what can be done with a service number, but I certainly don’t want to ask anyone to post their SS#. The enumerated info should be more than enough to retrieve your service records and settle things.
thanX,

Don’t feel any need to prove my life history. It would probably have been in 1957, maybe May or so. I remember it snowed in New Orleans a week later which is very rare.
This has nothing to do with my credibility, I have told the truth in all cases. People can take me or leave me, I am not trying to change the world, just give a few people some much needed tools for the turmoil of life. Keep them from being too unhappy.
Just clarify for me, Lekatt. Were you telling the truth “in all cases” when you said you had a brittle psychic ability, or when you said that you had never said that you had any psychic ability?
Nice to see you participating. Care to respond to my last post to you?
I offered the four definitions of cold reading you claim are contradictory. I then asked in what way they are contradictory.
You posted a non-sequitor about Randi; avoiding the question.
I now reapeat the question: What, specifically in the four definitions of cold reading given is contradictory?
You can quote the texts, or just give us line numbers, whatever launchs your rocket, but please limit your response to the definitions themselves.
Lekatt,
Just to be clear, you are indeed saying that you were on board the USS Willett during May of 1957, right?
So when I search the muster rolls for the USS Willett DE 354 for May of 1957 I willl see Leroy Kattein listed, right?
Widowed spiritualist tells a skeptic one day as proof of the intercourse possible between those still in the flesh and those out of it that he had many times contacted his deceased wife at seances conducted by a local medium, Miss Gridley. Tells the skeptic that his wife’s loving spirit had embraced him many times and kissed him on the mouth as well as she ever had when she was alive. Do you mean to tell me, says the skeptic, that your wife materialized in her bodily form and kissed you? Well, she kissed me, yes, says the spiritualist, but she used the body of Miss Gridley to manifest herself.
By the way, Houdini did not appear to Bess at any of the seances conducted after he died, including the last one, on the tenth anniversary of his death. That one was attended by many people and was broadcast live on the radio. Houdini made no appearance then and Bess declared that.
Apparently, according to his own website he is lying when he says he had a near death experience.
Unless of course he has redefined the word “death” the same way he has “fact” and “evidence”.
You know, the more I see your posts, the more I’m glad you are here:D
I agree with you BTW. Here’s my deal with Lekatt, he can believe whatever he wants. What I don’t like is his implication in suggesting that everyone should agree with him, and that skepticism is wrong that it is biased.
I would be more than willing to accept less evidence of the claim of naval service. Claiming that one served in the armed forces is not an “extraordinary claim” and shouldn’t require “extraordinary evidence.” I would accept documentation that Lekatt served in the navy sometime in the period between 1955 - 1959: a scan of discharge papers, or a military id, etc. A skeptical person might doubt my ability to objectively evaluate the evidence; I’m willing to accept the word of less biased observers.
Unless Lekatt has any of these, after 40+ years, ( and volunteers), to share them this is the only way I know of to acquire his discharge papers.
The muster roster of USS Willett is probably a simpler way to get verification though. Muster rolls are updated monthly, so the date could be a crucial factor in acquiring the correct muster roll. It’d only take one roll to show he was there. It’d take every roll during the possible service dates to show that he wasn’t there unless he specifies his claims to when he was on board.
Just to give a little info regarding Lekatt’s navy career-sort of-in June 1957 Hurricane Audrey struck and killed over 500 people in Louisiana. It was the first hurricane of the year. So, May, June, close enough for memory’s sake.
