I got my US News & World Report for this week, and in it is an article titled "The Spy Who Funded Me (And My Startup)". And there is a picture of Gilman! It was a nice article, it drew Mr. Louie in a very positive light, and there were several mentions of Falcon. I especially liked the story at the end about the one guy from Langley who called out "Chopstick!" in a hallway because he had played Falcon with Gilman before

No... that explains why some other guy was responding to a post of mine like we were old buddies! I haven't received any e-mails to the effect of "why did you take my name!!" so I guess the old Biggs doesn't come here

maybe he meant THE bigglesworth, the name i use to pay respect to this old ace flyer from the fames pocket serie.

If not ignore what i wrote, except the last part ofcourse.

I chose this name in deference to the hairless cat of movie fame.

So has anyone else seen the US News article?
