I did not hear back from Dr. Gelb yesterday. This morning (23 Jan.) I sent him the following e-mail inquiry at egelb43972@aol.com. It is to be hoped that Dr. Gelb will soon lay the questions raised about his credentials to rest:

Dear Dr. Gelb,

My name is George Maschke, and I'm a co-founder of a website called AntiPolygraph.org (http://antipolygraph.org). Recently, a message was posted to AntiPolygraph.org's message board in which the legitimacy of your doctoral degree was called into question:

http://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?board=Proc&action=display&num=1042765547

Specifically, it was suggested that you received your doctoral degree from a now-defunct diploma mill in Louisiana called LaSalle University, whose owner and founder, Thomas Kirk (aka Thomas McPherson), has since been convicted on federal fraud charges and sentenced to prison.

I called your office yesterday and left my name, phone number, e-mail address, and the reason for my call with your assistant (I believe her name was Vivian), but I did not hear back from you.

I would be grateful if you would clarify this matter by answering the following questions:

1) From what university did you receive your doctoral degree?

2) In what year did you receive your doctoral degree?

3) In what field was your doctoral degree?

4) What is the title of your doctoral dissertation?

5) Where can a copy of your doctoral dissertation be obtained?

Sincerely,

George W. Maschke
