Hello all.... I'm Andy Rosner; 60 years old this month (OMG!) living in Santa Ana, CA. No background in aviation, but a deep appreciation of design; whether we're talking about aircraft, musical instruments, buildings, furniture, etc., etc. Visited the Hercules (you're not supposed to call it Spruce Goose) many times when it was in Long Beach.
By trade, I'm a product manager in consumer electronics; and have been part of the teams which have developed products like laserdisc, projection TV's, and on and on.
I recall being aware of Amelia at a young age and (since I'm a sucker for a history and biographies), was always keenly interested in new information. Naturally, I read "The Search for Amelia Earhart" when it came out, and since learning of TIGHAR, have been glued to the seat at my PC, reading every update, etc. Let me just say this to Ric and the rest of the team: THIS IS KILLING ME! I CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE! (OK, OK; a donation is coming)! Of course, what I (and allot of other people) will do after we all know for sure is a big question!
