The National Association of Investigative Specialist is happy to release the
names of the investigators it has determined to be on the top list of the
Twenty-five investigators of the Century.
As the century will be nearing the end of its last days, we at NAIS feel that
a PI profile article on each of these individuals will be of great interest to
all.
We will be submitting short biographical sketches on the Internet weekly,
later to be extended, with photographs, and more information to published in
book form.
We greatly encourage those who have known these individuals to submit
positive comments and true stories to reflect the individuals in a positive
manner for publication consideration.
There are numerous reason these investigators have been named. Some named for
the contributions to the betterment of the field, some for world wide attention
gained, some for their flamboyant nature.
Unfortunately some of these are no longer with us, and we need more
information on those persons.
They were all picked through a very tedious process. Last not being first and
first not being last.
So without further ado:

Congratulations all!
Our first biographical sketch's on the Internet will include:
Pinkerton will be included in the sketches because he was the "first Private
Eye" and led the way for others.
Jack Murray
Included first, because I know him best and because of the enormous
information NAIS has on him.
A man who's knowledge surpasses his education. (which is considerable)
Leroy Cook
A great investigator, with a powerful insight. A man ahead of his time.
Again, let me indicate that no ranking has been applied to the investigators
listed, or to the order the sketches will be publicized.
I would like to publish the first sketches by the end of this week, and hope
to hear comments on these before I complete the sketches. However if you do not
get the comments in by the end of the week, please send them along later as they
will be considered for publication in the book form.
