Dr. Jackson reached out to Father Otterbien in 1973 explaining his interest in the Shroud of Turin. It was Dr. Jackson who suggested to Father Otterbien his desire to perform computer enhancement for further studies in the investigation of the Shroud. In July 17, 1975, Dr. Jackson met Father Otterbien and Father Rinaldi at Esopus NY, to discuss his findings. Below is a correspondence between Dr. Jackson and Father Otterbien. Also included in this page, is an hour long audio of their meeting.
