In 1999, Lori met the first remote viewer to be inducted into the military’s then-fledgling “psychic spying unit”: Melvin Riley.  Mel and Lori became good friends, and she has been blessed to have his additional mentoring in her life. Over the years, Ms. Williams has spent countless hours honing her remote viewing skills through practice sessions with provable feedback, complete with written summaries and recorded datasheets. In those early years (1996 to 2001) she drove 12 hours round trip on many weekends to assist and learn from Mr. Buchanan as he taught various remote viewing workshops. In 2001, Ms. Williams became the first certified civilian Controlled Remote Viewing instructor, and has been teaching an average of one to five 3-day workshops on a monthly basis ever since.  She has taught Remote Viewing in Canada, Ireland, Russia, Europe and all over the United States.
