It's long and full of nice anecdotes. Unfortunately, I have >been unable to find a copy of it online (e.g., at the Reader's >website), although Hujsak himself shows up at a few websites. It >celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first Atlas test launch back in >1957. The author is an expatriate from my home town of Buffalo, NY, >having worked for Bell Aircraft there in the early-to-mid-1950s (like >my dad and uncle) before moving here. From the article I also learned >that General Dynamics, under its earlier name Consolidated Aircraft, >moved to San Diego from Buffalo even earlier, in 1934. Seems to be a >common occurrence, moving from Buffalo to San Diego. (As did my wife, >who beat me to San Diego by six years.) > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: >http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html > _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: 1000s of Sexy Singles online now at Lavalife http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Flavalife9%2Eninemsn%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fclickthru%2Fclickthru%2Eact%3Fid%3Dninemsn%26context%3Dan99%26locale%3Den%5FAU%26a%3D29219&_t=762256209&_r=june07_endtext_search&_m=EXT ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
