 Neil is a superb writer. Of the many, many articles that we ran in the early years of this magazine, I believe that Neil’s profile of world-class quantum physicist John Hagelin was the most popular. It was beautifully written, and very well researched, containing a lot of surprising detail about a local hero that no one had known before. Even today, people are still requesting it! -- Claudia Mueller, founding editor, Iowa Source
