them, and it's where I was fortunate enough to have made the electronic
acquaintance of Mr. McDougall.

Actually, I had a real world physical environment in mind. I assumed that
your travels in the U.P. must have taken you to the Lake Superior State

who should accompany Mr. Vandeman on the first rocket to the sun. The
