Whatever Happened To...F. E. Alzofon? (part 1 of an ongoing series)

The name of this engineer from Boeing should be well known in the antigravity community, but Alzofon's paper indicating how such effects might be achieved through contemporary technology ("Anti-gravity with present technology - Implementation and theoretical foundation", ALZOFON, F. E. (Boeing Aerospace Co., Seattle, WA) AIAA-1981-1608 SAE, and ASME, Joint Propulsion Conference, 17th, Colorado Springs, CO, July 27-29, 1981) seems to have disappeared without much comment into the mists of time. The first page may be found here - but I've yet to see any evidence that anyone has ever tried to test it.

Dr. Alzofon is alive and well, age 91, and continuing to write papers on advanced topics in physics, such as the following:

Never seriously researched or critiqued, his work continues to be ignored by academics, as he is independent from academia and industry, and his research runs contrary to current fashion in physics (particularly General Relativity), but solidly within traditional boundaries (he was a student of Oppenheimer, Victor Lenzen, Griffith Evans, and other geniuses of the post-war physics department at Cal Berkeley, where he received his advanced degrees.
