Title: "Joe's abduction #2"

Casefiles: Dr. John E. Mack who was the Department Chair for the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School

John Edward Mack (October 4, 1929 – September 27, 2004) was an American psychiatrist , writer, and professor and the head of the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School . In 1977, Mack won the Pulitzer Prize for his book A Prince of Our Disorder on T.E. Lawrence .
As the head of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Mack's clinical expertise was in child psychology , adolescent psychology , and the psychology of religion . He was also known as a leading researcher on the psychology of teenage suicide and drug addiction , and he later became a researcher in the psychology of alien abduction experiences.

Dr. Mack was a very serious and credible researcher.

In 2004, a few weeks after Lori and I had dinner with John in California, Dr. Mack was struck and killed by an English Lorry (Truck) driver as he departed another dinner engagement in the London area. The truth is, a lorry in American English is a truck. The British lorry is almost the same as the American truck, and the two words have morphed into synonyms of each other.

On Monday, September 27, 2004, while in London to lecture at a T. E. Lawrence Society-sponsored conference, Mack was killed by a drunken driver heading west on Totteridge Lane . He was walking home alone, after a dinner with friends, when he was struck at 11:25 p.m. near the junction of Totteridge Lane and Longland Drive. He lost consciousness at the scene of the accident and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. The driver, Raymond Czechowski, an IT manager, was arrested at the scene, and later entered a plea of guilty by careless driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Mack's family requested leniency for the suspect Czechowski in a letter to the Wood Green Crown Court. "Although this was a tragic event for our family," the letter reads, "we feel [the accused's] behavior was neither malicious nor intentional, and we have no ill will toward him since we learned of the circumstances of the collision." The driver, Ray Czechowski served 6 months and was disqualified from driving for 3 years.
