Hello GreyWiz,
I asked Carla about this. Some stories of the past I have heard multiple times. Others I have never heard. The relationship between Don, Carla, and Dewey being among the latter category; so it was interesting for me to get the scoop on this chapter in the L/L Research story.
Carla said that in the course of his research, Don Elkins encountered Dewey Larson’s book, “New Light on Space and Time", which apparently contains a lot of mathematical and physics theory and equations. In order to verify the veracity of the information for himself, Don worked out each of Larson’s equations to his own satisfaction.
Don subsequently contacted Dewey - who was impressed at Don's aptitude (apparently few were able to work out the equations) - and, in 1971, Don invited Larson to speak at the University of Kentucky in the class of John Hutchins, and paid for his travel.
Don and Carla listened to Dewey speak over the course of a couple of days and in the meantime they each got the opportunity to know Dewey. According to Carla, the two intellects had great chemistry and really hit it off.
Dewey Larson sometime thereafter invited Don and Carla to be board members for Dewey’s non-profit organization: The International Society of Unified Science (ISUS). Don and Carla gladly accepted. When one of the board members discovered that Carla was an English major, the board asked Carla to edit their newsletter. Carla was more than happy to serve.
Around the publication of Carla and Don's book about their research up to that time, "Secrets of the UFO", Carla says that a mild flurry was created by the book's publication. Don felt that the book made them too notorious, in terms of being on the fringe, for them to be a part of a dignified group of people like ISUS. Don subsequently submitted resignations for Carla and himself. The ISUS board reluctantly accepted.
(Carla and Don maintained relationships with ISUS. Sometime in the late 80's or early 90's Jim and Carla hosted an ISUS meeting in their home, and in the mid-2000's an ISUS member became one of our housemates for a couple/few years.)
Carla says that Don and Dewey did have a personal relationship outside of ISUS, and did speak to one another over the phone. She doesn't recall whether and to what extent Don and Dewey spoke during the Ra contact, but she said it is possible that Don’s own research, and the information from Ra specifically, influenced Larson. She knows that the concepts Larson produced "stuck in Don's fertile mind", concepts which Don later used in his role as Questioner for the Ra Contact.
Hope that helps!
