I still remember the game's name because I thought the name was so lame :) He and I were both Air Force Lieutenants stationed at McClellan AFB in Sacramento CA (from around 1982 to 1986) working in an engineering unit. His first name was Marty and I don't remember the last. He was pretty proud of that game then so I don't think he would mind getting credit for it now ... or maybe not! He was definitely a nerd before it was "cool" to be a nerd but then again, the division was full of all kinds of math and science geeks, so he wasn't the only one. FYI I never played the game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701611282494727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-41802251534059352642020-09-16T13:04:13.316-04:002020-09-16T13:04:13.316-04:00Wow.

She also apparently didn't realize that the "sodomy" charges she was looking at usually indicated child sexual abuse, rather than consensual relationships. And she found this out during a live radio interview! She apparently was rather graceful about it in the event, but stood by her thesis which seems like it takes some chutzpah (the publisher eventually cancelled the US version though it had already come out in the UK). <br /><br />https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/books/review-outrages-naomi-wolf.htmltetrapodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736532124472617151noreply@blogger.com
