I have heard of these tactics a number of times. Sorry you had to go through that. Perhaps some day you will be able to open up on the subject again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
When I get old enough not to care anymore, I’m going to write a book. Lots of stories from the space program I grew up with and was part of. and I WILL add in the interesting stuff. Some day, but not yet. Could be that only my son will get to read it. Happy Holidays to you as well.
