This is from Zorgons Forum... posted quite a long time ago but I wanted to share the sentiment again/
Sometimes you can spend alot of time in one direction ( the way that I did at the Pegasus Consortium ) and then discover that you have made a mistake going in that direction in the first place.

I have been thinking.
Rose knows what that means.
Zorgon..... uh.... it might take me too long to explain so i am just going to say it.
I have been going in the wrong direction. I thought that following your hyperspace section and your aviation pieces were important to me because.... gee.... look at all of the time that you have invested in that direction. Look at all of the wonderful links! And I know that its all going to be treasure for someone... but I realized with a jolt....I am exploring in the wrong direction..... for me and for what I need to do...
Rose....Remember the picture of Dad and me on the Deck of the Duchess?.... if I can find it I would post it so that you could see it too Zorgon. Its a hot summer day in 1960.... I am just 15 years old....and Dad for some silly reason is pointing to the sky..... I don't know why he did that... its always been sort of a silly photo.... Morgan however made a comment about that picture... calling Dad a sly fox or words similar..." Point them in one direction ( the sky) while the submarine passes under you going in the opposite direction."
That didn't have the proper meaning to me until just today.
With your new posts Rose it all sort of came downhill on me.... and where I was working so hard to get information when we were talking spaceplanes etc etc etc.... Now....information is coming to me easily.
I am just sorry that this didn't happen earlier. I probably could have spared you all alot of strange rambling messages on my part but I was constantly searching... searching... searching.... the dates 1953 coming up over and over and then 1962.... and I know you will laugh at my " Now you are cooking" statement Zorgon but that came at a moment where the last few things fell into place....I took it as a special message.
Now the hard part... going back over what I now KNOW and putting the solid facts in a string of dots that can not be contested by any one.
That's something that I promise I will not drag you through.....
Thanks for your patience with me... Linda Logged
Well, I am glad that phase of my situation came to a close. But I did learn some things from it. One is that in my new book I have to offer alot of well verified foot notes.... so as people read they can double check how I came to some of the conclusions I have reached. We may come to different conclusions but isn't that the name of our human condition? We should be allowed to form our own opinions... but we shouldn't be hand fed information without the ability to check things on our own.
So I think that I have beaten this forum to the 10,000 visitor mark because tomorrwo morning I will be handing my revised copy of " The Good-Bye Man" over to Rose for her opinion and editing skills.... and then in the following week other copies will be winging their way to sort of a special panel for their review and comments.
And while that is happening I am going to go " hands off" everything for a couple of weeks.
If I get quiet here, just know that I am resting and recharging my batteries. We still have a very long road ahead of us! Linda
