Re: Dr. Jones

Thanks for the info. I briefly discussed Dr. Jones' work with the author of "The Invention That Changed the World" (highly recommended) several years ago and he said that Jones was still alive. He's one of a long list of people that I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet.

Let's see, when did I go to Guam? The conversation was shortly after I returned from that trip. I bought and read the book during a long layover in Minneapolis on a "40 hour day" - the International Date Line can make for a really wierd timecard entry.
