No voltages could keep you guys apart from the good doctor.

I never gave up hope that he would find the strength and his family would find the will. It happened and I am deeply honoured.

This is so fantastic Bob. I'm sure Matsumoto was so delighted to have such enthusiastic and like minded people finally there to capture and share his story forward! Have a safe trip back home!

I can tell you, that even through his frailty, he was excited like a little boy. I think at another time we could have talked for days.

I really am impressed and glad for this fitting happy sequence of events that led to you finally being able to meet with Dr. Matsumoto. He looks frail but happy, a man that knows he is leaving a legacy.

It was an amazing meeting that I will share more about.

Thanks for sharing aspects of the trip on LENR-Forum.

You had a misunderstanding - only 90 mins were not adequately captured out of 33 hours - we got the rest.

I will be thrilled to know more about your meeting with Dr. Matsumoto!

I think the work you are doing needs to be known widely, Dr. Matsumoto’s work is truly astonishing. Will keep LENR-forum informed as much as I

can.

Sorry for getting the amount of video captured wrong, what a shame, will correct it, and Kudos for such an amazing and outstanding achievement!!!!

It is not just that his work was astonishing, it was his novel and, in many cases, unique approaches to the experiments, monitoring and analysis and quest for simplicity that sets him apart.

Also, he is one of the few researchers that modified their thinking as new data revealed deeper insight and was not afraid to change his view and be public about that.

A real scientist.

Evidently 'The Force' is with you, congratulations to everybody involved. So beautiful and touching that you were able to meet Mr Matsumoto and present him with the posters. Dr Matsumoto's life's work is vindicated, he can rest now in the knowledge that his pioneering investigations will continue for the benefit of mankind.

Absolutely. I have deep respect for what he did and the way he did it.

I thank everyone for praying, wishing, hoping for this outcome. It was a team effort.

Bob-sama and Sho-sama - brilliant outcome after a mountain of hard work. A truly historic meeting with Dr.Matsumoto-sama and his family - not forgetting Kim’s support in all this, of course. I must admit to being in awe of the situation. As to the multiple “coincidences” that led to all this, more like dedication, hard work, an open and enquiring mind, an inclusive approach, a belief in “something better”, … and great skill. Many thanks again Bob for your unstinting dedication in pursuit of the truth and an unstoppable and infectious enthusiasm 🙂👍🙏

And - great news that you were able to meet with Dr.Matsumoto - fate indeed. ⚡️🙂👍

The light increases as the new day dawns.

"I must admit to being in awe of the situation." Yes me too, also a profound sense of relief that the mission ultimately was successful.

We will all benefit from what he has done.

Not possible without my wife agreeing to let me do it, I am ever thankful to her understanding (and suffering, she knows how much I earned before choosing to do this!)

To see the expression on his face that day, is indescribable. There is nothing quite like meeting a kindred soul in person and seeing the delight shine through the difficulty.

Congratulations on such a significant scientific and historical meeting/data retrieval operation. It shows us all about the global continuity and long-scale record of successful cold fusion/LENR experiments. Great that you could give Matsumoto the thumb drive of all his work.

He could not quite believe we had captured the videos he had given us and that it was all on one thumb-drive (along with a clean pdf of his book).

You will especially like something I will share shortly - it was unexpected, but speaks to his ability to think differently to solving this puzzle.
