• W23797002 abstract "Charles Honorton, to many of us, was a man of many talents. He was a natural leader, an outstanding researcher, a gifted experimenter, and an excellent communicator. To lead came naturally to him. He organized research even while he was in school and college, and he was a leader even when he was an apprentice under another powerful leader. He received no college degrees; yet, his guidance was sought by several who had PhD degrees. Holding no university appointments, he attracted tenured professors to his lab and impressed them with his knowledge and skills. None of Chuck's talents, however, were apparent to a casual observer. In many ways he did not fit the conventional descriptions and stereotypes of great men. In a sense, he was as anomalous as the phenomena he studied. Who would imagine that within that short and somewhat disproportionate physical frame was a powerful person, a born leader? Who would suspect that behind the childish face that exuded innocence rather than mature confidence, there was hidden such a seriousness of purpose and unshakable resolve? Again, who would have thought that this man, who spurned formal education, would make some of the most significant contributions for advancing parapsychology since the days of the Rhines? Chuck was simply a savant of his own kind. Charles Honorton was born on February 5, 1946, in a small Minnesota town. His interest in parapsychology dates back to childhood. While in high school he corresponded with J. B. Rhine and spent summer months at the Parapsychology laboratory of Duke University. He was enrolled at the University of Minnesota, but his intense and irresistible interest in psi research led him to leave the university before completing his undergraduate studies and to join Rhine at the newly established Institute for Parapsychology of the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. Chuck needed only a few years of apprenticeship with Rhine before maturing into a full-fledged parapsychologist. Leaving the FRNM in 1967, Honorton joined Stanley Krippner and Montague Ullman at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn and later became the Director of its Division of Parapsychology and Psychophysics. After the Dream Lab at Maimonides closed in 1979, Chuck obtained the support of James McDonnell and founded the Psychophysical Research Laboratories (PRL) in Princeton, NJ. PRL closed in 1989, and Chuck then moved on to Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1991, where he died on November 4, 1992. The relationship between Chuck and the FRNM was very special. Chuck's professional career started there with J. B. Rhine as his mentor. Chuck was a regular contributor to the Journal of Parapsychology. When the PRL closed, he donated a good deal of PRL equipment, including the auto-ganzfeld, to the FRNM. Chuck admired and respected Rhine as a pioneer. His admiration was genuine; he named his only son Joseph Rhine. Rhine recognized Chuck's potential at an early stage and did what he could to nurture it. To be sure, there was disappointment and disenchantment on both sides, which culminated in Chuck's leaving the FRNM in 1967. Rhine and Honorton were two strong persons, each with his own agenda. They were like two swords that could not fit into a single sheath. With Chuck's premature demise, the field of parapsychology lost one of its most productive and influential investigators. We at the FRNM considered a number of ways we could pay homage to this remarkable man. It was agreed that the best way we could do this would be to publish a series of articles on his life and work. Such a collection would not only be a fitting memorial tribute to him, but also an occasion to place his research and ideas in their most appropriate perspective so that they might inspire the future course of parapsychology. All the articles in this series are invited contributions. We are glad that Don McCarthy, one of Chuck's close friends, has contributed the special article with which we begin this series. …" @default.
