What's this?

Really? That’s kind of cool

Riverwife’s next door neighbor growing up in the burg was a Hungarian prof in the entomology dept

I liked him. He wrote a book about his escape from hungary. His research took him world wide from VT, but he’d NEVER fly over communist airspace for fear of being “retaken” if the plane had to land
