Please relay to Charlie Quilter my appreciation for the ‘elegy’ he wrote for Doug Hellwig. 

I don’t know either men, nor did I fly combat missions in Vietnam but I certainly was one of the [perfect-pitch of a description] sausages. Some of my Moody classmates flew the OV-10 and likely were later members of the same squadron. 

Charlie’s tribute is wonderful, and I thank him for it.

All the best,

The Earth From Space: Guess the U.S. City at Night
By TAYLOR UMLAUF
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have captured stunning views of Earth from space. That is, when they’re not busy making repairs to the station, researching 3-D printing in space, or playing soccer. They take many of those photos when the Earth is draped in the darkness of night. Those nighttime photos often reveal the vast differences in shapes, sizes, and brightness of urban areas on the planet.
Can you guess which of the American cities pictured at night is which?
Note: all images have been oriented with north to the top.
An easy one for starters…rd
