Story is that Chris Kraft brought GWA to be a 'hatchet man.' at which
he proved to be good. Three thumbs down.
On another history topic: There's a young man that wants to buy the old
Singin' Wheel down the road from the Outpost. Some mysterious "old
lady' is asking $680K. That little piece of property is hardly worth
100K. IMO. Anyway, I'm encouraging him to ferret out the real value,
then set up a website for contributions. Nothing better that youthful
zeal. He needs a webmaster that will donate the time to set up a
website. any help out there?

Wow, that's the second less than sparkling George Abbey comment I've

across just today. The other being from an LCC Flight Sugeon during

So on Abbey, what's the overall verdict?

IMO, the primary reason that The Outpost gained notoriety was that
George Abbey (former JSC Director)and his entourage of cronies
(astronauts, etc) started going there. One could enhance his career
by
sucking up to Abbey.
Happily, I was not one of them. Since most of that entourage have
retired and/or moved on, the place has lost its 'luster.' And no,
the
Singin' Wheel stories that I omitted from my book will never find
their
way into print.
