Science Features : Cosmic radiation why should we care? : Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer

There's been a slight delay! I once dug a 12 foot hole on the edge of Teterboro Airport on a survey for the Army Corps of Engineers with an African-American Bert Herbert, last I heard works for the NPS at Gettysburg, PA National Historic Site. He insisted I see "Apocalypse Now" then and we saw it in Times Square with "Godzilla Meets Bambi". We were on the ill-fated Passaic River study (during a flood) and I recall with a soil boring hand tool getting about 10 feet or so of sand when all of a sudden, a P-51 Mustang fighter plane started up 1/4 mile away. Were they loud, wow! My godfather worked on them in France in WWII. Uncle Lewis Myers, who later worked for Tiffany's in sales where he met his French wife, after opening a pet store with his Army Air Force buddy, with many new Siamese cats. Her French family fled the Nazis to Morocco (John Page was there with NYU once) her grandmother's portrait as a young girl by Renoir is in the Louvre, it came here once, missed it in a private gallery. Virgin rules!
