The first comment was a gem...
A few months back I wrote about the first interview I had done for my book about the career of Dr. J. Allen Hynek. I interviewed a gentleman named Bill Powell, who had worked with Dr. Hynek at Northwestern University for many years, and had shared many UFO adventures with Hynek along the way. Well, I made it pretty obvious in my post that I had enjoyed the interview immensely, and that a lot of Bill's stories would make it into my book.
So I was delighted to find this comment pop on my phone today:
I just happened to stumble on your article (long story), and enjoyed it immensely! You see, Bill Powers is my dad! And he does have a lot of cool stories about those good old days at Northwestern. I remember as a kid, running around the observatories (Dearborn, and the Lindheimer Astrophysical Center, since torn down). I spent many a night staring at the stars, Dad's arm over my shoulder pointing out this one and that... Thank you for such a wonderful article!
Best,
Barb Powers
I was having a pretty good day already, but this letter put it over the top. And now I need to interview her, too!
