Fernand A. Gauvin

Also Fern, Fern Gauvin, FERNAND A. GAUVIN

An Army civilian (GS-12) who volunteered for GRILL FLAME, which his consent statement of 28 February 1980 calls a DOD project to determine possible military applications of inherent psychic abilities; the statement records that the program was explained to him by LTC Murray B. Watt. As a participant he consented to the recording and transcribing of his session interviews, and a March 1982 memo names 'Fern' among the unit's 'more advanced people' in training. The viewer key lists him as a part-time viewer from 1978 to 1984 and in the unit's administration from 1987 to 1991.

Viewer designation: Viewer 072 (uncertain; part-time viewer 1978 to 1984, administration 1987 to 1991)
