I was given the name of Tom von Deak, with NASA, as a contact for
satellite data telemetry. His phone number was given as a (216) 433-XXXX
number, which should be at NASA Lewis Research Center, but they didn't
know him. The phone operator at Lewis didn't have a listing for him
either. I'm trying "tvondeak@nasamail" and checked the usenet name list
on pit-manager. Does anyone know him or have any suggestions?

If you wish to look someone up, it is up to you to write me and ask. I can
either run a search for you for a particular combination of letters or send
out all entries for a given graduation year.

PLEASE spread the word as much as you can - to alums who might have e-mail
addresses and also those who don't have e-mail addresses but might know folks
who have e-mail access. You should include a copy of this letter. Feel free
to contact me and find out if I already have someone on the list before
writing them about the directory to avoid anyone being inundated with
copies of this.

Responses about the directory should be mailed to stuy@panix.com (route

of address changes and for new folks to contact me, as well as for questions
generally. My personal address is simona@panix.com.

Not to mention that her point is irrelevant to this thread.  Unless she can

Sorry, but you don't speak for me.  I can hardly think of a more
detestable thing for all parties involved.  And I seem to recall
quite a few cases in which the judge ruled that there was no abuse,
and indeed granted the father custody based on that.  Isn't the child
sometimes placed into foster care when charges of abuse are made?
How does that benefit the woman?

Unless, of course, the "enemy" you refer to is the children themselves.

Actually it's the letter L and Chinese do have trouble with it.
One of my buddies is a native of Hong Kong. You should hear him
say "bullshit". Comes out boo-she.
