I'm doing research on Bert Reese and was wondering if anyone had any info on him
besides the Jinx/PME references. Especially photos or graphics. I have a bunch of the
Edison stuff but almost nothing on his exploits in Europe. I know his teacher was
Foster who wrote "The Salem Seer." Did Foster actually teach him billets or was Reese
more inspired and came up with his own ideas?

Also, does anyone have any theories as to where Annemann's info came from? In the
Jinx, he claims that "going through my clippings, etc." but was wondering where he got
the details of Reese's handling of billets. Was this just putting it together from
descriptions in the newspapers? Reese died in July of 1926. Could Annemann ever
have seen him work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SpAgHeTtI, almost all of Al Mann booklets are difcult to nd.

Some of them pop up on e-bay from time to time (sometimes they're originals and
sometmes they're xerox copies) and you should keep an eye for them.

Please note that sometimes the prices asked are very high (I believe this is more
Inner circle because of their rarity than any other reason).

Does anyone have any idea how I might trace where Reese is buried? He died in
Hamburg, Germany in July 1926 and I don't know if his widow brought the body back
to the states or not. I would love to get a photo of the gravesite.

Kent,

I don't have the Al Mann book, but as far as I know, the Annemann description is the
most detailed I've found to date. I'm curious as to where Annemann got Reese's
technique information; whether he just put it togther from news reports or from an eye
Regular user witness. If anyone has the Al Mann Bert Reese book for sale, please let me know.

Thanks Kent. Will look forward to them if they are re-released. I'm getting some good
biographical information about Reese but it all comes in bits and pieces. There seems
to be very little other than Annemann, Mann & Cassidy who wrote about his technique
in detail. I'm hoping that by putting together published reports of his work that some
new light might be shed on what he was doing.
