Possible Old Roommate Sighting (via google)

I will occasionally go "googling" for old friends. Today I think I had a hit on my old roommate from college, Tracey Murchison.

JSTARs Hits Milestone, Saves Lives. His name appears at the bottom of the article as Maj. Tracey Murchison, mission crew commander

I lost touch with him at least 10 years ago. Last time we chatted, he was still in the Air Force flying in AWACs (Airborne Warning and Control System). If it is him, based on the article, he is now working inside of the E-8 Joint STARS

Evel Kneivel

Evel Kneivel recently passed on to the great jumping ramp in the sky. I remember seeing him on TV quite often growing up. His jump over the Snake River Canyon is my first memory of a greatly hyped event. Unfortunately, it literally fizzled out. I also remember a toy and a comic book.

I think both the toy and the comic were Tim's. I remember the toy being relatively fun (i.e. one that was played with more than once). Tim, do you have the toy and/or the comic? They're selling for about $40 and $20 on EBay!


Tim's Response: I probably have the comic still in one of the many boxes in the closet. The toy motorcycle didn't survive the many many jumps. The Evel Kneivel action figure (doll) though is still at the parent's house I believe. Last time I saw it, it was in our old bedroom closet's top shelf.
