Tip, I am putting my right eye on the monitor. Scan the image with your NSA retina facilitator to check against my records at the CIA. See, I told you it was me. <g> Just for the record, I am not the Mike Burke who: 1. Publishes newsletters. 2. Used to run the Yankees for CBS and once earned a gold medal in Crew at the Olympics and who attended The University of Pennsylvania. Well, yes, I went to grad school at Penn, but I'm not him. Besides, I'm alive. 3. Fell off Mount Everest in the mid 1970s. Again, I am alive. 4. Ran commodity scams for Prudential in Arizona and New Mexico, ripping off thousands of senior citizens. This was the most difficult to get across to the officials in those states who were blue skying some mutual funds where I was the manager, trader and an officer. <g> I finally had to prove it by showing up. Since the crook was in his 60s and I was in my 30s, and was a high pressure New Yorker while I was a "surfs up" Californian, the witnesses gave me a clean bill of health. But the state securities geeks said they would keep an eye on me anyway. <g> 5. Was the Senior Patrol Leader of Boy Scout Troop 158 in Fremont, California. Well, I was Senior Patrol Leader of Troop 158, but I am the second Mike Burke to hold that position, not the one who was SPL while I was a Tenderfoot. <g> MB
