Ahhh....but WBraun and Licky have spent time together sharing stories as well as a cup o'tea. This isn't about those what whine (remember sidmo), this is about the story. If you don't have the patience to hang in there, maybe checkers is more your game.
More meetings this week

Hot damn, did you finally track down the great nephew of the guy that designed the tire tread on the landing gear? I'm pretty sure he's the key to this whole thing!

Many books take this long to get out, so keep on hatin', you haters.
Licky has shown admirable restraint, for the most part, in the face of
this no-stop hate-fest. I'm not surprised that Werner would give
graciously of his time.
And while I have taken a few good-natured sniping shots at you, Licky, I really do wish you
the best. Just don't put too much down on that Ferrari when you sign yer deal, eh? 😃
ps
While I aver it appeals to a rather narrow audience I am in that audience
cause I've never seen a plane wreck the cause of which did not interest me.
In this case, since the NTSB did knott do it's usual bang-up investigation,
I'm most interested in seeing Licky's cause of the crash. Since the one
wing was found a ways from the rest of the debris in-flight breakup seems a
done deal, but why is the question, n'est ce pas?

Nah. I think they were both asleep when the plane went down.

You guys have no idea what's involved in research and writing.
Ph.D. programs normally give a person 10 years to finish a dissertation.
If Licky has discovered any government irregularities, he better have his facts well documented in case of lawsuits and media coverage.
Getting the climber's stories was the easy part of the research, and it seems, only a small part of the whole story.

Thank you, Jan. More to the point could be that in the case of a first
book by someone who, presumably, needs to make a living some other
way this is a laudable effort in efficiency.

A friend of mine got a letter from the u. Of Chicago asking him how come he hasn't handed in his dissertation after 25 years. He typed it onto computer, sent it in, and got his PhD.

Really? Was he already well known in the field? Or wealthy so they wanted him as an alumus?

I was up there last summer with the newest in drone technology. With this new tech we were able to get about 3 pounds of DRY Jane from the bottom of the lake..not far from the shore at all. Good luck out there..

He was well known in the field after he got the PhD.

Here is the plane, or at least part of the plane during the salvage operation. It was provided by Vaughn Lam who had the contract with the Park Service. He charged the Park $15K and the Park Department tried to get $25K from the pilot's wife. Vaughn Lam was really pissed off to hear this Yeah, I know..this is little stuff, but added to the big picture, it'll put a smile on the reader.

On June 10, 1979, Mark Yavorsky, an award-winning actor from the University of San Diego [more likely he was from UCSD], killed his mother using an antique saber.

What advice would you offer students who want to get their work out in the world?
Have the courage to think outside the box. If you can’t find a partner, shoot it yourself. If you have a good story, the rest will fall into place.
This project languished for 15 years, and I finally made it. Never give up hope.
