Ok, my wife was reading over my shoulder... She says “kind of geeky” doesn’t begin to describe it. :)

That’s interesting, and ironic as missing the ‘r’ when registering at FR ends up making your screen name even more unique.

As for mine, most folks assume that I’m referring to the early UFO-researcher and astronomer Morris K. Jessup (aka ‘M.K. Jessup’), who died mysteriously in Dade County Park in 1959, some say his apparent suicide was actually murder, his final years were troubled, following a strange exchange of letters with a fellow calling himself ‘Carlos Allende’ (actually Carl M. Allen), who claimed to have been in the Merchant Marine on board the S.S. Andrew Furuseth in 1943, and in the vicinity of what is now referred to as the ‘Philadelphia Experiment’, and witnessed the physical conversion to invisibility of the U.S.S. Eldridge (DE-173).

In any event, after M.K. Jessup had written his book ‘The Case for the UFO’, he began receiving odd letters alluding to knowledge of eletromagentic field manipulation, all sorts of wild stuff, and Jessup was later contacted by the Office of Naval Research, after they had received a copy of Jessup’s book which had three different sets of handwritten notes throughout the pages, as if three different individuals were conversing over the contents of Jessup’s book.

Jessup was supposed to be on his way to dinner with his friend Ivan Sanderson, zoologist and fellow researcher into the paranormal. As it turned out, Jessup was found slumped over the steering wheel with a hose from the exhaust stuffed into he back window, in Dade County Park, Miami, 1959.

But having said all that, there is no ‘Morris’ in my family, the ‘mk’ in my screen name is simply short for ‘Mark’.

So far from gondramB being ‘geeky’, I would say it stands uniquely apart, and truly ‘one of a kind’.

And now everyone knows ‘the rest of our stories’, lol (thank you Paul Harvey)
