Odd request in the mail...

A request arrived in the mail yesterday from some fella in Germany
wanting a signed photo of Vance Brand (astronaut). Somehow, he got the
idea that Brand has something to do with my magazine Aerospace Projects
Review ("Vance DeVoe Brand c/o Aerospace Projects Review").

Anybody know of *anything* that would lead to that impression?

[googles on Brand]

You ever published anything with Brand's name linked to it - something
on the X-30 or something odd out of Dryden? He might have got the
impression he'd written something for you... or else assumed there was
some kind of Colorado Aerospace Mafia thing going on ;-)

No, but if you forward the request to Vance at Dryden, he'll take care
of it. Let me know if you need the address.

He shouldn't have posted this, now it'll be online
for millions of non-native english speakers to see
and misinterpret. Next he'll get fanmail for
"DEVO C/O Aerospace Projects Review".

Well, if they send a SASE, I'll be able to scavenge the stamps and save
a fortune... Even better if they jsut send cash...

Very funny, given that the actual back channel to DEVO is
via the Mars Society, and how well Scott gets along with Bob...
