Yes, Ricard. I was stationed at Fort Ord at the time. When I called him to ask for a visit John said he liked to support the military and invited me over to his basement.

"I don’t put projects on the back burner. I put them under the floorboards, where the ever louder beating of their hearts drives me slowly to madness."

Wasn't there a famous short story about that..."The Telltale Project" or some such! :mrgreen:

Maybe you are thinking of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe.

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe......correct. The signature alludes to that very story by one of my favorite authors.

I do read OST. I remember things like the WABAC.

but not nbw's.

Thank you for the hint on NMRA regions and division publications. I found the Official publication of the Mid-Eastern region, THE LOCAL, available. I did not know that I could read publications outside of my division. :o
