Stan, it was 16 C and raining today in Kiev. Russians trying to create an Abkhazia in Crimea. Beat that.

Marc, I did share a beer with Dr. McFate at Leavenworth a few years ago at a IO symposium. She was presenting her case for cultural anthropology in the DOD and showing parts of what later became the HTT. It was interesting and I can attest to the fact that she is a good person to chat and have a beer with.

Unfortunately, that was the extent of my involvement and I was subsequently shipped off to Ukraine and never heard from again, save for my occasional random posts on SWC!
