Note:  Only sending this to a few friends…sounds too self-obsessed…too much about me…too silly…but true hence the pictures.  I cannot believe that Barney and I took such risks  but we did.  Sense of immortality reserved for risk taking males when they are 22years old.  Article is too long for casual reading so I know some of you will press delete.  Good.  Do it. Why did I write this?  Because my former boss, Dr. Paterson  is writing a book about geophysical prospecting in the 1950’s and  he wanted  some material that gives a little twist on the job.  I sent him one short article.  Then I wrote this whopper.

 IRELAND, 1960:  “COW IN MINE,…OR SO I WAS TOLD.”

“Alan, you might be interested in the steam engine show that is being organized…old  things that really work…holding it on a farm not far from here.”
