My Dad was a Black Panther in Italy (WWII)

I just visited this page at http://www.nbc-2.com/ and wanted to share it with you, take a look: http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readarticle.asp?articleid=8545 It's a bad news good news story you might have missed from Florida. I recall that a Vietnam veteran disappeared into the bush to study these last remaining panthers and made them the Florida Panther, a public item. The story was also associated with other "disillusioned" returning vets who it was reported "went native" disappeared into the wilderness in parts of the US, Crocodile Dundee like or maybe like some of the Seminole out Alligator Alley way (scary eyes in the water under a full moon there years past). We get "yellow fever" from "yellack" a native Floridian word I read for the illness associated with mosquitoes that's appeared up here and in DC on occasion, e.g., the summer White House of Martin Van Buren in Kinderhook, NY, I was to short-term work at but went to grad school. Some say "O.K." is from "Old Kinderhook" for "Where's the President?" "O.K." (yellow fever "Caused by a flavivirus transmitted by a mosquito Synonyms: black vomit, yellow jack" WordWeb) The good news is that mosquito numbers have not been this low in 20 years it's there reported (Collier County). A California study has shown killing their panthers doesn't stop the frequency of attacks, they range over huge areas. In Holderness, New Hampshire, at the Science Center, they have a wild animal exhibit in the woods, and many are behind a clear Plexiglas to view. I saw two panthers there very interesting. There's been sightings in the wild in New Hampshire of them too, one around the Ossipee Mountains, home of "Castle in the Clouds" on a former volcano ring dike, from a cataclysm in the distant geological past that they say blew with 10X the force of Mt. St. Helens, (the height of Mt. Everest?) I rode Greyhound through the swirling volcanic ash of Mt. St. Helens once on my way to Skagway, Alaska, stopped in George and Martha, Washington, picked up some of it. $99 anywhere in the country! The return trip skirted around it. I left Hauppauge for Seattle, damn the volcanoes, full speed ahead! Flew to Juneau, twin engine plane onto the grassy field of Skagway. Ferry back to Juneau. Today you can drive to Skagway! Revisit the days of '98 and the Klondike Gold Rush. Charlie Chaplin would laugh. It was laid out like New York City streets. Just saw this good music site from Moscow, Russia mp3sugar.com good collection I want to download John Coltrane's album "Interstellar Space" (1967) for 0.59 (copyright remuneration are paid it states)
