Thanks Ken,

It would be interesting to know what direction in life this young lady
took.  Whether she was impressed and moved by what she
experienced and what color is her sub !

I noticed in the short segment of the OSR 6919 report  that an
"F. Busby"  was part of the crew.  In fact, I suppose I should
stock up on a few butter knives and vise grips for my tool kit  : ))

You've definitely stirred my interest.  I'm searching for the full
paper.  Nothing on Northrop-Grumman site.  Papers, yes, "Ben
Franklin"...no.  I did notice on one of the descriptions on google
it stated "classified document"  but nothing indicated why or for
what on the site.  I'll try to look for it again and copy it.

Are you pursuing this at all? 'Come up with anything?

--Steve
