Back towards topic, Kaszner served in the Pacific as a US Army cinematographer, and he filmed landings on New Guinea and in the Philippines, and the signing of the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri. He was one of the first Army photographers to film the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Incorrect. McGyver was Richard Dean Anderson. The show was "Land of the Giants."

Heather Young had an abdominal parasite during the second season so filming her had to not show that. Either that, or she just was not in that episode.

Status: offline 		OK, now that we have completely gone off topic......

I have never been on an Iowa - certain bucket list thingy.

I have recently had a craving to watch Hogan's Heroes and things like Space 1999. This getting old thing is messing with me.

Great Escape also came up on Amazon. Might be time to roll into the sack and give in.

This is not a rubber suit. It really is me.
