Re: (erielack) Delaware Water Gap wreck inconsistancy

Kevin, you might try contacting the Author of the Volume 3 book (and maybe
using his last name too, it's considered polite) as I did, before making
such a production about whether the date mentioned there is correct.  It
appears that the facts are that that date isn't correct, and that it is
correct.  It's a matter of what it is correct FOR.

What Larry >DeYoung< said was:

"My "research" probably consisted only of blindly following the information
on the slide mount.  I don't have my books here (still packed away), so I
can't check, but it could be I am only showing the date of the photo, not
that of the wreck.  USUALLY, that is what my captions indicate."

Larry moved his residence a few months ago, and has been very busy with
consulting work, so that's why his own copies of his own books are "packed
away."
