Hello Pat and the List, I was about a year older and about 200 miles 
away from you. I was with my parents at Larson AFB in central WA at 
Moses Lake. Much the same. In fact the daily bullitin requested that 
people turn out their front porch and other outside lights. It was quite 
thrilling to stand in the front yard and watch the bird go past.
