[Thursday] Current War Movie

[Terry Jones]

Craig,

Thanks for the review and the link. Nice to exercise the non-amazon option.
I bought a copy of the book that I will donate to the museum library after
reading.

Tesla was always a touchy subject with Bob. I always wondered what the
backstory was.
