More Reality for Oma Hamou, Mizz Nevahwuz
So, April 9, Mizz Thang decides to trash others the way she hates being trashed. So, we got interested. Decided to verify what she said. Check it peeps, she sez:
I contacted National Geographic to ask why their organization would ask a person like Bob Atchison, who is not a degreed historian, to verify information for someone of National Geographic’s standing concerning the bones found in Pigs Meadow. ...
I related to them that despite what Bob Atchison may have told them, he was not the catalyst in getting a museum established inside the Alexander Palace
So half an hour spent on google we find:
Mr. Atchison has been on TV:"Secrets of the Romanovs" 1997 A&E "Histories Mysteries". Alongside Peter Kurth, Greg King, Eduard Radzinsky, Nicholas Romanoff. It seems A&E felt he was of similar stature on the subject as Peter Kurth, Greg King, and Eduard Radzinsky and Prince Nicholas Romanoff. I'd say thats good company for National Geographic to consider, no?
Mr. Atchison has been thanked publicly and acknowledged for his contributions to the book "The Romanovs: The Final Chapter" by Robert Massie. Robert Massie is considered one of the world experts on the subject, he considered Mr. Atchison worthy of asking for assistance on his book. I'd say National Geo. could rely on Mr. Massie's judgment, no?
Greg King thanked publicly and acknowledged him for his assistance in his book "The Court of the Last Tsar" in 2005.
The New York Times no less wanted the opinions of Mr. Atchison:

Radio Free Europe (a US Government agency): Russia: Tsar's Palace Receives New Lease On Life
By Lindsay Percival-Straunik- 12 May 1997: allow us to quote from the piece which aired and was entirely devoted to the Alexander Palace:
The weathering of time and the damage of war have taken their toll on the stately neoclassical palace. Efforts to preserve and restore it have until recently largely been the work of one man: an American researcher named Robert Atchison.
Atchison has devoted almost his entire life to the palace, gathering information about its history for use by restoration workers.
...
With the help of American author and historian Suzanne Massie, Atchison founded the Alexander Palace Association.
In close cooperation with the Russian authorities the association is now working with the World Monuments Fund (WMF) to restore the palace. The plan is to turn it into a museum of the Romanov family as it had been before the war.
...
Repair work began last year after the WMF, a private non-profit organization based in New York, placed the palace on its List of the World's 100 Most Endangered Sites. The WMF awarded a grant of $100,000 for emergency repairs of the palace roof, which is now being carried out by a Finnish restoration firm
Hmmm, I'd say National Geographic had good reason to contact Mr. Atchison. Looks like he was pretty involved in things about the Palace too...
Mizz Thang in the way old Jag seems to be one bitter old lady.
