Jeff: You’ve sure succeeded. I am now the top Rodney Rawlings in the universe!
When I first began using the Net, I was a bit dismayed to discover that there were others with my name—I had nursed a secret hope that the name was unique. Still, you can count the RR’s on one hand, I think. One is a model racecar enthusiast, which pleases me in the stupid respects that “racecar” is a palindrome beginning and ending in “R” and the English language is my specialty, and that The Flash had always been my favorite comic-book superhero.
Two others are retired military brass! One of these soldiers figured in the Waco controversy—and on the right side. Here’s an excerpt from a news report:
09 OCT 99 Colonel Rodney Rawlings contradicted the FBI’s claim that they didn’t know the BD’s were going to destroy the compound—in saying “You could hear everything from the very beginning, as it was happening.” Rawlings said he heard bug transmissions from speakers in an FBI monitoring room at the FBI’s main Waco command post.
I’m sure this is of interest to no one but me. But thanks for reading.
