Ardeth
Merklinger
is
the
MRN
Producer.
She
brings
to
Mysteries
of
the
Mind
a
broad
range
of
skills
and
credentials.
Coming
from
a
small
mountain
community
where
she
attended
a
one
room
schoolhouse,
Ardeth
developed
a
deep
love
and
appreciation
for
nature
and
its
fragile
ecology.
In
1957,
Ardeth
had
the
first
of
many
UFO
sightings
and
experienced
a
possible
close
encounter.
In
spite
of
the
inevitable
skepticism
of
others,
Ardeth
stuck
to
her
story
and
has
spent
the
last
40
years
researching
this
intriguing
phenomenon.
As
is
the
case
with
many
UFO
experiencers,
this
encounter
catalyzed
her
insatiable
interest
in
metaphysics,
the
paranormal,
and
her
own
spiritual
enlightenment.
With
a
strong
background
in
philosophy
and
an
uncanny
understanding
of
human
nature,
Ardeth
is
an
accomplished
and
insightful
public
speaker.
Ardeth
is
a
published
poet
and
author,
an
interior
designer,
a
talented
fashion
designer
and
top
model,
and
has
developed
and
taught
self
awareness
programs
for
young
women.
The
Merklingers
have
been
happily
married
for
over
17
years
and
between
them
have
seven
children
and
several
grandchildren.
They
have
lived
and
worked
throughout
the
United
States
and
Europe
and
