Interesting relationships connected to Kit Laybourne...

Laybourne, Noyes Jr., Noyes Sr., Rand, NeXT, CIA

From wiki:

Emphasis added.

For a dozen years, Kit and partner Eli Noyes ran an independent animation & branding studio in TriBeCa, Noyes & Laybourne. Most of its major works included ID's for MTV and Nickelodeon, shorts for the Children's Television Workshop, and shows for Scholastic and Nick Junior.

Eli Noyes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eli_Noyes | https://archive.is/nEFWI

Emphasis added.

Early life

Eliot Fette Noyes, Jr. was born the son of noted "Harvard Five" architect Eliot Noyes and his wife, interior designer Molly Duncan Weed Noyes. He is the brother of Fred Noyes. He graduated from Harvard University in 1964.[2]

Career

In 1964,[3] Noyes created the animated film Clay or Origin of the Species [4] which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.[5] The film is considered one of the earliest examples of clay stop-animation[6] and is cited by Wallace and Gromit creators, Peter Lord and David Sproxton as a large influence on their work.[7]

Noyes is also noted for his creation of the Sand Alphabet for Sesame Street and the Nickelodeon children's television series, Eureeka's Castle. In 2003, Noyes cofounded the animation production studio Alligator Planet with Ralph Guggenheim and Alan Buder. Noyes directed animation sequences for two films which were shortlisted for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Under Our Skin and The Most Dangerous Man in America, a final nominee.

Works

~Noyes spent twenty-one years working as consultant design director for IBM, designing the IBM Selectric typewriter in 1961 and numerous other products, while also advising the IBM internal design staff.[1] Prior to his work on the Selectric, Noyes was commissioned in 1956 by Thomas J. Watson, Jr to create IBM's first corporate-wide design program — indeed, these influential efforts, in which Noyes collaborated with Paul Rand and Charles Eames, have been referred to as the first comprehensive design program in American business.~

Paul Rand

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rand | https://archive.is/Vs3aT

Emphasis added.

Paul Rand (born Peretz Rosenbaum; August 15, 1914 – November 26, 1996) was an American art director and graphic designer, best known for his corporate logo designs, including the logos for IBM, UPS, Enron, Morningstar, Inc., Westinghouse, ABC, and NeXT. He was one of the first American commercial artists to embrace and practice the Swiss Style of graphic design.

Corporate identities

Rand's most widely known contributions to design are his corporate identities, many of which are still in use. IBM, ABC, Cummins Engine, UPS, and Enron, among many others, owe Rand their graphical heritage.[5] One of his strengths, as Moholy-Nagy pointed out,[4] was his ability as a salesman to explain the needs his identities would address for the corporation.~

Emphasis added.

NeXT, Inc. (later NeXT Computer, Inc. and NeXT Software, Inc.) was an American computer and software company founded in 1985 by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs.~

~NeXT was founded by Jobs after he was fired from Apple, along with several co-workers.

History

~

1993–96: NeXT Software

NeXT started porting the NeXTSTEP operating system to IBM PC compatible computers using the Intel 80486 processor in late 1991. The operating system was ported to Intel's architecture because of a change in NeXT's business strategy, which was then to remove themselves from the hardware business entirely.

~NeXTSTEP gained popularity at institutions such as First Chicago NBD, Swiss Bank Corporation, O'Connor and Company, and other organizations owing to its programming model.[51] It was also used by many American federal agencies, such as United States Naval Research Laboratory, the National Security Agency, the Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office.[52] Some IBM PC clone vendors offered somewhat customized hardware solutions that were delivered running NeXTSTEP on Intel, such as the Elonex NextStation[53] and the Canon object.station 41.[54]~

I think it's also worth investigating that

Sarah Noyes Hale was accused of being a witch in 1692. After her death, her husband John Hale published "A Modern Inquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft" condemning the witchcraft mania.

The Noyes are in all likelihood an occult family of witches.

Ellen Wayland-Smith, a professor of writing at USC, counts two of Noyes’ sisters among her great-great-great grandmothers, has just published a gimlet-eyed book about her family history. Oneida: From Free Love to the Well-Set Table

On a more sinister note, what is remembered as “free love” wasn’t exactly free; Noyes had the power to dictate who was fucking and breeding with whom, resulting in plenty of situations that look a lot like coercion—and even rape—to contemporary eyes. He insisted on personally initiating young virgins into what was termed the “social life” of the Community. “The women were introduced to sex whether they wanted it or not, when they were 12 to 14,” says Wayland-Smith, noting that the age of consent in New York at the time was also, unfortunately, 12. “The thing that bothers me is that the people who initially signed on to this thing were consenting adults. Then what happened, once the new generation came up, was they were born into it. They didn’t know anything else. Their parents gave them over to the Community and part of being in the Community was that you had to have sex. And they were not consenting because they weren’t of age [by contemporary standards].” The darkness didn’t end there. Noyes believed in “avunculate marriage” (between uncles and nieces) and held up certain forms of incest as ideal; Wayland-Smith writes that it’s still unclear whether he slept with his sisters.

LOOSE END ADDENDUM:

In my researches, I ran across a JOHN HUMPHREY NOYSE. He was the originator of the ONEIDA COMMUNITY, 1848-1881, a perfectionistic, religious, communistic, “Free Love”, eugenic settlement which supported itself with making beautiful silverware, among other things.

It makes for fascinating reading, and I tried to find an obvious connection to the Derry/Eliot Noyes family, but better researchers than I will have to try for that, if it matters. Nevertheless -

IF and I say “IF” it is the same family, how very interesting.

I could find nothing about the origins of Eliot F. Noyes’s father Atherton, except that he was born in 1862, “had deep Boston roots,” and taught English literature at Harvard. The reason for going to Colorado had been because Atherton had wanted to be a physician, but contracted tuberculosis and went on a different career path. The time spent in Colorado when Eliot Fette was little, was for Atherton’s health. Atherton’s time of birth could plausibly put his antecedents with the Oneidas, but I have NO PROOF of that.

Yeah I can't find a direct relation between John Humphrey and Eliot Noyes either.

I think I've found it...@vindicator The NOYES family founded YALE

Here it goes: Eliot Noyes father was Atherton Noyes

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/102187109/atherton-noyes (according to this site, Atherton Noyes' father was "reverend daniel parker noyes"

Googling that led me to the NOYES progenitor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Noyes

His son, Rev. James Noyes II of Stonington, Connecticut, was one of the first trustees of Yale College, a group of ten Congregationalist ministers, now known as "The Founders". Their engraved names line the facade of Woodbridge Hall at Yale University. The building is named for Timothy Woodbridge, cousin to Rev. James Noyes II and one of the other ten founding ministers of the college

The Noyes Family continues a long tradition at Yale with notable persons having contributed to the University. Rev. James Noyes II was the first Senior Fellow (Chair) of the Board of Trustees, and his younger brother Rev. Moses Noyes also served as a member of the Trustees. Rev. Daniel Parker Noyes graduated Yale 1840, as did his two sons Edward Parish Noyes, 1880, and Frederic A. Noyes, 1862. Theodore R. Noyes receive a Yale medical degree 1867. Haskell Noyes graduated Yale 1908. Herbert MacArthur Noyes graduated Yale 1914. Newbold Noyes, Jr. graduated Yale 1941. Herbert MacArthur Noyes Jr. graduated Yale 1949. Thomas E. Noyes graduated Yale 1953. Professor Edward Simpson Noyes, PhD (1892-1967) was chairman of the Board of Admissions for 18 years, director of the Master of Arts in Teaching program, and received the Yale Medal of Honor in 1968. His son Edward MacArthur Noyes II (1919-1999), who was also presented with the Yale Medal of Honor for his lifetime service to Yale in 1996, served as president of the Yale Club of New Haven.

His son James Noyes II (born 11 March 1640, Newbury – 30 December 1719, Stonington, Connecticut) was also a clergyman and founded Yale College. He graduated from Harvard in 1659, began to preach in 1664, and was pastor of the church in Stonington, Connecticut from 1674 until his death. A councilor in civil affairs in the critical periods of his colony, James Noyes II also practiced medicine with success.

Early Noyes descendants often were ministers and teachers, and sometimes distinguished – for example, the Salem Witch Trials (James's nephew Nicholas Noyes) and the founding of Yale College.

On 14 November 1692, during the Salem Witch Trials, 17-year-old Mary Herrick accused Noyes' daughter, Sarah Noyes Hale (wife of John Hale), and the ghost of executed Mary Eastey of afflicting her, but she was never formally charged with witchcraft or arrested.[20] A later commentator on the trials, Charles Upham suggests that this accusation was one that helped turn public opinion to end the prosecutions, and spurred John Hale's willingness to reconsider his support of the trials.[21]

Rev James Noyes I is also the ancestor of John Humphrey Noyes, leader of the Perfectionist movement and founder of the Oneida Community.

I was using geni.com to look, but hadn't checked all siblings and ancestors properly. Geni also hits a dead end at Lemuel Noyes. However, using ancestry.com and findagrave.com to cross reference, it's still difficult to confirm due to more dead ends and discrepancies, but it's quite likely that the common ancestor is Rev. William Noyes.

ELI NOYES (Kit Laybourne's Animation Partner) produced the title sequence for Disney's ALICE IN WONDERLAND tv show

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3688389/replies?c=116

NOYES cofounded Alligator Planet LLC with Ralph Guggenheim and Alan Buder.

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=155361976

Alan Buder, one of Eli’s partners is deceased. He was a committed environmentalist. He had gone to Colgate, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, and Yale. He started numerous businesses, primarily in animation.

Alan co-founded Climate Cartoons (not with Noyes, that I could find - but the Alligator Planet website appears to be carrying them in their listings) to educate the next generation about the implications of climate change. He was also a founding member of E2, Environmental Entrepreneurs.

One of the cartoon films of Alan’s found cited at imdb.com is “Lucy: Daughter of the Devil.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2250946/

I spent quite a bit of time digging to try to connect Ralph Guggenheim, Eli’s other Alligator Planet LLC partner with “THE” Guggenheims. I was able to find a family tree of “THE” Guggenheims, but if Ralph is one of “THEIR” family members, he does not seem to be publicly or liberally acknowledged.

He has an impressive film background and was apparently, according to some, Pixar before there was a Pixar.

Ralph was a NY native, went to Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg. He studied photography and computer science. He was working at NY Institute of Technology Computer Graphics Lab. Lucasfilm hired him and moved him to California in 1981.

“…After his research lab at Lucasfilm was sold to Steve Jobs and renamed Pixar, Guggenheim continued to work in the world of graphics and animation. Guggenheim, a respected founder of Pixar, eventually became Vice President of Feature Animation and was a lead producer for Toy Story. Guggenheim left the company in 1997 after Disney forced Pixar to remove him as producer from Toy Story 2....”

The article does not explain why Disney did not want Ralph working on Toy Story 2.

He then co-founded the Alligator Planet LLC with Alan and Eli.

Eli Noye’s wiki page has a number of titles listed of his work. However, the one that caught my eye (as I suspect it will yours too) was his work with Disney on…….

(Drum Roll please….)

The 1991 Disney series, “ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.”

I looked that up with the friendly little link wiki thoughtfully provided, and found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventures_in_Wonderland

“Adventures in Wonderland is a live-action/puppet musical television series based on Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. In the series, Alice (played by Elisabeth Harnois), was portrayed as a girl who can come and go from Wonderland simply by walking through her mirror (a reference to Alice Through the Looking Glass).

The series originally ran from March 23, 1992 to 1995 (with reruns continuing until at least 1997) on The Disney Channel and on stations across the country. Like many Disney Channel original shows, Adventures in Wonderland was originally taped at Disney-MGM Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, with two sound stages used exclusively for the show, but only for its first 40 episodes. Afterward, shooting was moved to Los Angeles, CA.”

“Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released three VHS tapes of certain episodes.”

“The puppets for some of the characters were created by Chiodo Bros. Inc.”

There were a number of credits listed for the various actors associated with the film. Terry Garr was “The Duchess” - (and was really the only name I recognized.)

The article included some notes about the characters in the series, and how they interact with each other. They are the characters we are familiar with from the Lewis Carroll story. Alice, the Red Queen, the White Rabbit, etc. I found them to be enlightening, in view of our Q studies.

In 2005, Alligator Planet produced “Here Comes Peter Cottontail” - another endearing story featuring a rabbit.

(As far as I’m concerned, Brother Ei has here an honestly earned Red flag.)

So, while I have been unable to place Eli Noyse directly with Laurel Canyon, both he and his living partner, Ralph, have both worked with Disney in Hollywood.

We have the understanding from previous digs that Disney was involved up to his cute little mustache in the secret CIA film making facility in Laurel Canyon. Eli and Ralph at different times both worked for Disney’s company. So, while there does not seem to be a direct Laurel Canyon tie, one could possibly make a case for an implied one, or indirect one.

STRANGENESS: I found near the end of my searches, a link to some US Post Office stamp art work done by Derry, which was dedicated to the theme, “Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet Stamp.”

The Post Office was promoting it, giving instructions for how to obtain first day covers. They also produced an article about the stamps:

https://about.usps.com/news/state-releases/ny/2010/ny_2010_0504.htm

In the article the Post Office posted in May of 2010, it is noted that the stamps were originally unveiled on the ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW on March 17, 2010.

This “Gee Whiz” factoid caught my eye in the instructions for how to obtain a first day issue:

“…. Customers have 60 days to obtain the first day of issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post Office™, at The Postal Store® at www.usps.com/shop or by calling 800-STAMP-24. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes to themselves or others and place them in a larger envelope addressed to: Animal Rescue: Adopt A Shelter Pet Stamps C/O POSTMASTER 7035 LAUREL CANYON BLVD. HOLLYWOOD, CA 91605-9998…”

So I leave it in your capable hands to decide if Derry and the Noyes family have a genuine “Laurel Canyon” dot-connect.

Derry Noyes Craig DOES have a very genuinely interesting family full of bright talented people. My conclusion remains, as I have previously indicated that Derry brought a lot to Gregg Craig when he married her talented self, and into her exceptionally creative family.

DERRY CRAIG’S SIBLINGS SISTER : MARY DUNCAN (MERIDEE) BRUST and her husband and son

https://www.nyfluteclub.org/uploads/newsletters/2005-2006/06MAY_final.pdf

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/20/fashion/weddings/20lin.html

http://nursing.columbia.edu/giving/deans-leadership-society

http://www.doctorwiki.org/dr-john-c-brust-md-neurology/

Derry Noyes Craig’s sister lives a very quiet life, as far as Wikipedia is concerned. None of the Wiki stories I initially read made direct mention of her, only that Eliot and Molly Noyes had “four children.” Eli, Frederick and Derry were named, but not Mary - until I found their mother’s obituary.

Mary seems to be an impressive, lovely woman. She got her nursing degree from Columbia in 1981. She has served as the director of Occupational Health Services at Rockefeller University in Manhattan.

She is an enthusiastic flutists, who plays often in a woodwind quintet.

I found several web sites which list her as a moderate donor to some educational and artistic fund raisers. Not flashy, or “LOOK AT ME!” at all.

Quiet, purposeful life. Based on what I have learned about her, I admire her.

She is married to a doctor, quite a famous one, Dr. John C. M. Brust of New York. He is a professor of clinical neurology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and the director of neurology at Harlem Hospital Center. He also has been involved with the New York and Presbyterian Hospital in New York.

He as been in practice since 1962. He has not ever been involved in any malpractice actions of any kind according to two different sites I looked at.

One scientific research paper in which he participated, was an examination of the effects and safety of medical marijuana in selected neurologic disorders. In certain circumstances, the studies’ researchers stated they found the substance to be helpful.

Meridee’s and Dr John’s son, Dr. James Charles Morrison Brust, was married to Dr Sophia Dolly Lin in the Noyes house, built by his grandfather Eliot.

“Dr. Brust, 33, is an infectious diseases specialist at Montefiore Medical Center and an assistant professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, both in the Bronx. He conducts research on H.I.V. and drug-resistant tuberculosis in South Africa. He graduated magna cum laude from Columbia, from which he also received his medical degree.”

In another article, I read that he is now living in Africa,(at the time of the article) and (presumably) researching HIV there.

I also can’t help but wonder if he and his dad and Uncle Frederick had some conversations about “epigenetics” and other such considerations of the microscopic and submicroscopic levels. We’re still holding up the day glo pink flag.

So even quiet Meridee, Derry’s sister, Greg’s siste in-law, brings enhancements to the Greg Craig career track. Two noted doctors in Greg’s brother-in-law and nephew, and a prominent accomplished nurse sister-in-law in a major NY hospital, are in Greg’s circle of connections.

TLDR: ELI NOYES' sister is a doctor who worked for ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY (home of notorious pedophile doctor and child pornographer Archibald Reginald.

Her husband does AIDS Research in SOUTH AFRICA.

DERRY CRAIG’S SIBLINGS BROTHER: FREDERICK NOYES

PART 5 of 7

https://www.iconichouses.org/news/meet-the-friends-frederick-noyes

Frederick Noyes followed his father’s footsteps and is also a well known architect. He first studied biology at Harvard, then in graduate school, he studied architecture. He has taught both subjects at the college level.

He “has been most closely associated with Boston Architectural College, for which he has developed curricula and programs and chaired the board. His Boston architectural practice mainly builds hospitals and houses.”

In an interview for iconichouses.org, he was asked what was next for him. He gave the following reply:

“There are exciting developments in neurobiology and epigenetics. I want to better understand those…”

Me too.

Wikipedia defines “epigenetics” as:

“Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. The Greek prefix ‘ in epigenetics implies features that are “on top of” or “in addition to” the traditional genetic basis for inheritance….”

“…One example of an epigenetic change in eukaryotic biology is the process of cellular differentiation. During morphogenesis, totipotent stem cells become the various pluripotent cell lines of the embryo, which in turn become fully differentiated cells. In other words, as a single fertilized egg cell – the zygote – continues to divide, the resulting daughter cells change into all the different cell types in an organism, including neurons, muscle cells, epithelium, endothelium of blood vessels, etc., by activating some genes while inhibiting the expression of others….”

To me this says he’s interested in the exploration of the NON-DNA transmission of genetic expression. In the developing embryo, they are studying how certain cells are caused to begin their differentiations. I’m certain that my understanding is woefully incomplete.

I’m wondering if he is getting into this research (genetics/DNA/epigenetics) which is seeming to preoccupy so many of the Cabal, like the 23 and Me people. Is it his natural direction of curiosity, or has his curiosity been helped along and encouraged a bit somehow or another? I don’t know, but I have perhaps, not a red flag here, but perhaps a day-glo pink one, especially in light of other relatives we learn of later.

TLDR: Eli Noyes' brother is involved in GENETIC RESEARCH w/ EMBRYOS

GREG CRAIG

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3688389/replies?c=116

Obama's White House Counsel is married to Eli Noyes' sister (Kit Laybourne's Animation Partner's sister)

Upon learning that Greg Craig, Obama’s White House Counsel, had obtained legal representation, I realized I did not really know much about him. Being mindful of my assignment by Swordmaker (who echos Q,) to “follow the wives,” I’ve also researched and learned a little bit about Greg Craig’s wife, Derry and her family.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_B._Craig

Greg Craig was a student at Exeter. He went to Harvard, and reportedly became acquainted with Henry Kissinger and other faculty there. After earning honors there, he became active in anti-Vietnam War and liberal activities. Craig received a medical deferment for a shoulder injury.

He went on to Yale Law school, where some of HIS FELLOW CLASSMATES WERE BILL CLINTON, HILLARY RODHAM, AND DAVID E. KENDALL. Kendall, it will be remembered, was Clinton’s lawyer during the impeachment proceedings.

Craig was on EDWARD M. (TED) KENNEDY’S STAFF, and held other notable positions and worked on prominent cases in his career.

HE WAS ON THE TEAM IN 1981, WHO REPRESENTED JOHN W. HINCKLEY JR. AFTER THE SHOOTING OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.

In 1996, Bill Clinton offered him the post of White House Counsel, but declined. Secretary of State MADELEINE K. ALBRIGHT APPOINTED CRAIG TO the post of director of policy planning at the State Department in 1997. “In October 1997, Albright gave Craig the additional post of special coordinator for Tibetan affairs, in order “to focus attention on China’s suppression of Tibet’s cultural and religious traditions.””

He accepted a position on Clinton’s IMPEACHMENT DEFENSE counsel team.

He worked with the legal team representing Juan Miguel Gonzales, the Cuban father of six year old ELIAN GONZALEZ, which resulted in Elian’s return to Cuba.

He served as an advisor to the Obama campaign. It is reported in the Wiki article that it had been speculated that he had hoped for Secretary of State, but was offered and ACCEPTED THE POSITION OF WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL. The article lists details of what some of his activities were in that position.

He was subjected to an OUSTER CAMPAIGN, thought to have been spearheaded partly by Rahm Emanuel, who leaked documents, as reported by Nina Totenberg. “Craig’s resignation took effect on January 3, 2010. He became the highest-ranking official to leave the Obama administration up until that point.”

After his resignation, he obtained the position as a Global Policy and Litigation Strategy Practice Group partner for the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, and Flom, LLP.

The firm was representing Goldman Sachs, and hired Craig to advise them in their civil lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

He also represented JOHN EDWARDS, gaining acquittal, in the misuse of campaign funds in the RIELLE HUNTER cover up case.

And this is where we can sit up and see how the Manafort plea deal exposes the Podesta actions in the Ukraine thereby peeling some onion layers back, … and there is our man Greg right in the middle!

“CRAIG LED A TEAM OF LAWYERS FROM SKADDEN, ARPS WHO WERE COMMISSIONED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE under President Viktor Yanukovich to look into errors in the trial of former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko on abuse-of-power charges.”…”Experts say that Craig should have registered as a foreign agent, as lobbyists are required to do when they lobby on behalf of foreign governments.”

He resigned from the firm of Skadden et al, in April 2018 because one of the firm’s London lawyers was indicted by Mueller, and pleaded guilty to making false statements.

It was reported by CNN and NBC, that following a referral from Mueller’s office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was investigating Craig and others, including ex-lobbyist TONY PODESTA and former Republican U.S. Representative Vin Weber, as part of a broader investigation into the activities of Paul Manafort.

Craig is married to DERRY NOYES. They became a couple in 1973 and married in 1974. She is the daughter of ELIOT NOYES, industrial designer known for his work on the IBM typewriter. Derry is a graphic designer.

Oh shit, okay so I took a moment to skim Greg's wiki entry and saw this:

Resignation from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom

In April 2018, Craig resigned from the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, following the indictment of Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer at the firm's London office. Craig was the lead attorney supervising the firm's work for former Ukrainian president Yanukovich, in which Zwann participated. Zwaan was later charged by Mueller investigation and pleaded guilty to making false statements.[42][44] Later in 2018, NBC and CNN reported that following a referral from Mueller's office, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was investigating Craig and others, including ex-lobbyist Tony Podesta and former Republican U.S. Representative Vin Weber, as part of a broader investigation into the activities of Paul Manafort.[45]

Already knew that Tony Podesta had been under the microscope recently, but here's some context and it relates to none other than Gregory Craig.

Funny ol' world.

Aight, I'm out for now.

Go figure...

Thanks for that tidbit. I'm off to bed in a moment, but I saw your other comment and was equally impressed as @Vindicator.

Ciao for now.
