Is there a complete set of astronaut mini-bios on-line anywhere?  Or
off-line and nearby?  I want to look up a civilan astronaut (mission
specialist, I think.)  From NC, with one of those three-part
southern names, like Jimmy Lee Brown or such.  Probably James L. Brown
to NASA :-).   

I ran into his aunt while on my way to Myrtle Beach this summer,
and I'm curious.  It was rather funny;  I was standing by a roadside
fruit stand miles from nowhere, forced to have a conversation with
someone I had mentally dismissed as white trash while my dad looked
for fresh corn.  Then we got on the subject of families and Texas
and she mentioned that her nephew was down there training as an
astronaut.  So much for arrogance.  The rest of the family was 
pretty interesting, too.

If addiction is judged by how long a dumb animal will sit pressing a lever
to get a "fix" of something, to its own detriment, then I would conclude
that netnews is far more addictive than cocaine.    -- Rob Stampfli
