Did anyone see a video a few years back with a grandmother and her grandson in the foreground, and in the field in the background, what looks like a huge red haired Sasquatch running on all fours? Supposedly Connecticut. Can’t find the video online anymore, wondering if it was a hoax or not.

I’m concerned by the turn this thread has taken. Tracy has done an amazing job of trawling through the Miller document, and there seem to be some parts that can’t be dismissed. While I am the one who visited the Harvard Medical School library and saw the yearbooks and other documentation first hand, I have been extremely impressed by his work and tenacity on this project. As a researcher, I know that research is HARD. Thanks, Tracy, for being the one to take this on.

Maybe someday we’ll find out this was all bunk or that it was a way of putting some real evidence out there in an anonymous way. Until then, let’s be kind to one another and discover what truth we can.

Yeah, I kinda disappear every once in a while, wish I could be more reliable! Ugh, no I didn’t get a copy of the HH photo – though when I look at the Yale photo, HH looked much younger than that guy does – they all look older in the Yale photo than I expected. The Harvard classes were younger looking. As far as the ghosting goes, I think the only way it could have happened is if Miller was ghosted BEFORE he arrived at Harvard, maybe if he became involved through forestry work? Then he wouldn’t have been listed at all. The way the books are put together, there’s nothing missing or odd about them. Four years worth of yearbooks and annuals would have had to be redone years later and swapped out, and the paper stock would have aged differently. Plus, they couldn’t have recalled the hundreds of books with the other students, that would have drawn attention.

I did ancestry search on Christiana and Arthur Miller and got a hit for a couple who lived in England in 1901, but were 40 and 50 years old with teenage and above children. That was the only hit I got for those two in census records in the US and UK. Nothing pops up for an A. Harles Miller, though there are plenty of AH and HA Millers throughout the country. But none with those parents.

Did anyone else do a Ancestry search? It looks like someone posted something about this on the ancestry site in 2013 under the Bigfoot Ballyhoo Hall of Shame – ring any bells?

Those squatches are tricky…

And the H. Miller cited in the DNA Polymerase article from 2010 (the article cited was “8-OxodGTP Incorporation by DNA Polymerase β Is Modified by Active-Site Residue”) is Holly Miller https://www.linkedin.com/in/millerhj. Sorry it took me so long to dig into that one.

Why can’t I find anything cool???

Would that mean that HH Miller would have to be HA Miller?

Hi everyone,

I had a chance to go over to Countway Library at Harvard Medical School. They have annual handbooks that list all students for that academic year, including those who graduated that particular year. They are bound together in about ten year groupings. I went through each one from about 1927 through the early 1950s, looking at every student listed for that particular year. The library also has yearbooks that have photos of all current students during that particular year, and I looked through those for about the same time period. No years were missing for either publication and they all looked the same age.

I’m sorry to say that there was no H.A. Miller. I did find our friend H.H. Miller, who was listed as being from Bend, Oregon. Of all the other Millers listed, none had an H for a first initial and none were from Connecticut. There were a few (unsurprisingly) who attended Yale undergrad.

I spoke with the librarian for the medical history room who remembers your earlier queries about H.A. Miller and confirmed in the listing of Harvard MDs (an old print publication) that no H.A. Miller received an MD from Harvard. He is really curious about why we’re asking, but also said that he regularly gets requests to confirm stories of people who said they went to Harvard Med, but didn’t.

Wish I had better news – I know I owe you that article from 2002, but I want to research the HA Miller noted to confirm it is a different Miller.

I have the Yale article PDF if you want to see it – the H. Miller research referenced is from the 2000s, though. Tracy, do you still want someone to look at the Harvard Medical School yearbooks? I’m not sure when I’d be able to get over to Countway, but I could probably sometime this month.

Here’s HH Miller’s obit: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8436189.html

So, either HA Miller lied about going to Harvard Medical School or the memoir isn’t true. Or maybe he went there, but didn’t graduate.

[Ann H]

It doesn’t look like an HA Miller graduated from Harvard Medical School during that time period (I think there was an HH Miller, but he wasn’t born in New England). I checked out HH Miller’s obit, and it’s nothing like what HA Miller says in his memoir.
