LAST OF THE LAWSONOMISTS

See those newspapers? See those hats? You've got 5 days left in our Kickstarter campaign where you can not only support our film, but you can pick yourself up some of this historical swag. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/318007139/last-of-the-lawsonomists

Found this little nugget tucked in amongst other Lawsonomy and Alfred Lawson papers. I guess at one point the Wisconsin Telephone Company was hip to Alfred Lawson. I don't think his elm is still standing nor is the factory at Ninth Ave. and Menomonee Street. Pretty soon landlines might be a thing of the past just like the Lawson Airliner and Lawson's Leaning Elm.

You've got 13 days to scoop it up and 13 days to donate to our the Kickstarter for our documentary about Alfred Lawson and his last active follower.

Celebrate Lefthandersday - Alfred Lawson was a Major league pitcher for 3 games. He could pitch left or right handed. In 1954, at the Lawsonomy Student Reunion Lawson demonstrated his ambidextrous pitching ability. 8mm footage of the elder Lawson playing baseball is feature in our documentary Last of the Lawsonomists.

Today's the last day of the Wisconsin State Fair. Many, many years ago Alfred Lawson was honored at that same fair for his achievements in aviation.

Have you been miseducated by those who hold the whip of power?

Many noble Americans have founded universities, but Alfred W. Lawson's school was devoted entirely to the study of his own questionable teachings. Did Lawson build the University of Lawsonomy out of pure hubris, or of genuine concern for the human race? Perhaps, as he posits, “Ninety nine per cent (roughly estimated) of the human race lack imagination” (parentheses his). Perhaps you have unwittingly spent your life as a dullard, because until you’ve learned Lawsonomy, “you are not educated.”

Got 7 hours and 47 minutes to spare? We just found an audio version of Alfred Lawson's one fictional book.

Will your books live forever? Lawson thought his would, but many of Lawson's books have been rotting on a farm in Wisconsin just waiting to be re-discovered.

Has our documentary gone to the dogs? Gary (our producer's dog) reads Alfred Lawson's chapbook "The Future"

Merle's been coming to the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh for 37 years. He's the last member of the Lawsonomy group to make this yearly trek. This year (2013) might be his last year. The air show won't be the same without Merle, just as America might not be the same had its citizens only embraced Lawsonomy.

Was Lawson ahead of his time? Did he know the score? Did anyone listen? Our documentary asks this and so much more! http://kck.st/11q15CO

In 1919 Alfred Lawson claimed to have developed a method that allowed for the first ever Trans-Atlantic flight. In essence, he is talking about the first aircraft carriers. But, the history books fail to mention Lawson's name, in this achievement. In his own books Lawson boasts about his contribution to this milestone and predicts future developments, like in his magazine Aircraft where Lawson predicted that the airliners of the future would have no wings and develop their power by natural forces. Mankind is still waiting for this development.

Other than his time with the 341st Fighter Squad in WWII, Merle's dedicated his entire life to Lawsonomy. (that's him in the top left with the flipped up brim)

The airshow started today. Merle has been attending EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh for over 35 years. He's the longest running exhibitor at the show and certainly the most unique. Here's a picture from one of those early years.
