I knew a guy who was into that way back about 17 years ago. His name is
Gene Gatlin, works for Pacific Lutherna University, and lives somewhere
in the suburban Tacoma WA area. You might do a google search on the
name; I think he has a web page. You might mention my name, as we
worked together briefly back in the mid 80's.
