	~~Born in Cleveland, Ohio, ~~Samuel Richard '~~Dick~~'&~~nbsp~~;~~Hazelett received his BA from Oberlin College~~ in ~~1965~~ and ~~two MAs from~~ the ~~University of Texas~~ (~~1969~~) and ~~Boston University (1973)~~.		'''Samuel Richard "Dick" Hazelett''' (July 24, 1923 – July 23, 2002) was an American mechanical engineer, inventor, and businessman in the metals-machining industry, and a critic of Albert Einstein's theory of [[Relativity]]. He is best known as co-editor, with Dean Turner, of the book ''The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter-Revolution in Physics'' (1979), which revived the earlier relativity criticism of the physicist Herbert Eugene Ives. Hazelett was a dedicated member of the [[Natural Philosophy Alliance]] and a frequent contributor to the journal ''Galilean Electrodynamics''.

	"My very good friend Dick Hazelett passed away on 23 July 2002 at his home in Colchester, Vermont. GED Associate Editor Howard Hayden first introduced Dick to me some years back. From then on, I knew Dick as a steady participant in the on-paper activities of Galilean Electrodynamics and the in-person conferences of the Natural Philosophy Alliance. He was what I referred to as ?the Good Reviewer' ? a person who got thoroughly engrossed in whatever I asked him to look at. You will find him having done exactly that, along with his long-time Colorado friend, Dean Turner, in GED vol. 12, no. 2 (2001).		==Biography==

	~~"Now Dick will be very much missed by very many people here~~, and ~~around~~ the ~~world~~. ~~Not only was~~ he ~~connected to GED~~, ~~and to NPA~~, ~~but also~~ to ~~family~~, ~~extended family~~, ~~and friends all over~~ the ~~place~~. ~~I was notified about the sad loss by Dick's Berkeley CA housemate~~, ~~Chaplain, and dear friend, Kaaren Ray~~. ~~She and Dick's Colchester friend Val Kagan had collected many interesting facts about Dick's life, some of which are reproduced below:~~		Hazelett was born in Cleveland, Ohio. A lifelong student of theology and philosophy as well as an engineer, he was an extraordinarily fast and prolific reader. He received his BA from Oberlin College in 1965 and later earned two master's degrees in philosophy, one from the University of Texas at Austin (1969) and one from Boston University (1973). In his final years he made Berkeley, California, a second home in order to pursue doctoral-level theology studies at the Graduate Theological Union, enrolling for graduate work through the Jesuit School of Theology, where he became a well-known figure in the campus community, often seen riding his recumbent bicycle. Born into a Mormon family, he later in life converted to Judaism.

	~~"Along~~ with ~~Dean Turner, Dick had co-authored or co-edited many books. One~~ of the ~~books is very well~~-known to many GED readers: <b>The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers</b>. Dick was impassioned by studies centering on the many controversial views related to Eintein's relativity theory. The same is true in regard to Darwin's evolution theory, and many ~~issues~~ in ~~ethics~~ and ~~religion. Other books resulting from~~ the Hazelett~~/Turner collaboration include <b>Benevolent Living</b>~~, ~~which deals with connections between science and religious philosophy~~. ~~Dick~~ was the researcher for Turner's books <b>Commitment to Care</b> and <b>Escape from God</b>. Most recently they produced <b>Coherence Theory of Truth</b>. Dick's last book, <b>An Engineer's Path to God</b>, was not completely finished. The titles of some of the Chapters show how broad his interests were: ?Religion for Scientific Skeptics', ?New Help from Astronomy, Biology, Physics', ?Self-Consistency', ?Benevolence', ?Truth and Need', ?Evil versus the Good', ?Religion Clears the Way for Natural Science'.		Hazelett worked with his father in the early development of the Hazelett twin-belt continuous metal casting machine, and for many years was involved in the mechanical-design and intellectual-property activities of the Hazelett Strip-Casting Corporation of Colchester, Vermont. He is a named inventor on eleven patents. He was also a keen amateur photographer who documented the life of the company.

	~~"Dick was an extraordinarily fast reader.~~ He ~~consumed tens of thousands of books from ancient times to the present day. Theology and Philosophy were his lifelong interests~~, ~~and he pursued them formally through Master's Degrees in Philosophy~~ at ~~Boston University and the University of Texas in Austin. For the past three years, Dick had made Berkeley CA~~ his ~~second~~ home in order to pursue doctoral-level Theology work in the Graduate Theological Union. He was formally enrolled this past year for graduate-degree work through the Jesuit School of Theology. He was well known and much beloved in the GTU library, ~~bookstore~~, the ~~refectory, and~~ the ~~Berkeley community~~ at ~~large. He was that amazing older gentleman riding the recumbent bike! Up until his death~~, ~~he either walked or rode that bike over twenty-five miles a week~~.		He died on July 23, 2002, at his home in Colchester, Vermont, shortly after attending the 9th Annual Meeting of the Natural Philosophy Alliance at San Luis Obispo, California (May 13–17, 2002).

	~~Cynthia Whitney~~ - ~~<em>Galilean Electrodynamics</em>~~		Hazelett was engaged by the many controversial questions surrounding Einstein's theory of relativity. Working with his longtime friend and collaborator Dean Turner, he co-edited ''The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter-Revolution in Physics'' (1979), a compilation intended to bring renewed attention to the relativity criticism of Herbert Eugene Ives, a pioneer of RCA television research whose critical papers had appeared in peer-reviewed journals but had subsequently been largely set aside by the physics community. The volume gathered excerpts from Ives's correspondence, Turner's essay "The Einstein Myth," a condensation of J. J. Callahan's ''Euclid or Einstein'', and additional papers and commentary.

His interests also extended to the intersection of science and religion, reflected in books co-authored or researched with Turner, including ''Benevolent Living'', ''Commitment to Care'', ''Escape from God'', and ''Coherence Theory of Truth''. A final book, ''An Engineer's Path to God'', was left unfinished at his death.

Richard Hazelett of Colchester, Vermont, an engineer and successful businessman in the machining industry, who was co-editor of the self-published book, The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter-Revolution in Physics (1979, ISBN-0-8159-5823-4), passed away shortly after the 9th Annual Meeting of the Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) at San Louis Obispo, California (May 13-17, 2002). He was a dedicated member of the NPA. The seminal Einsteinian relativity criticism of RCA television pioneer Herbert Eugene Ives, which was widely published in major peer-reviewed journals?and then ?forgotten? and ignored by the establishment (see IE #38)?was resurrected by the work of Dick Hazelett. We will sorely miss him. In his later years, Dick spent much of his time in philosophical pursuits at the intersection of science and religion. He was born a Mormon, but later in life converted to Judaism. - Infinite Energy #47
