>From Adam Thomson, Dover England

My recollection says that 1972 indeed was the year of the turn symbol, and a
lot else besides.

I was fresh out of the '72 Academy and was attending one of Joe's "Room E"
gatherings when he laid out exactly what Wiegel referred to in his posting
on this. The memory is still vivid.

The wedgeblade was the central image of the church
lecture in 1964--probably earlier. The turn symbol, as
Jim describes it came along with the turn to the
world--1972?
