Dear Editor:
I'm having a hard time understanding something. While I was in the Navy I was assigned to a fast attack sub out of Pearl Harbor HI, there was a guy in my division of nuclear Machinist Mates that everybody called Stevie Ray. I just assumed that was his real name until the day that Bill, Leading First Class Petty Officer of the machinery division, walked into the engine room and told Steve that Stevie Ray Vaughan had died in a helicopter crash. I remember him saying that the pilot had taken off on a really foggy night and had flown into some power lines. I clearly remember Steve saying "no, not Stevie Ray."
Later I asked Bill who Stevie Ray Vaughan was and he said "He's the one that did that song, If The House is a Rockin’ Don't Bother Knockin’. Bill then told me that Stevie Ray Vaughan was Steve's favorite singer/musician, which is why everybody nicknamed Steve, "Stevie Ray".
Sure enough everything I can find on the subject says the same thing about the helicopter and the fog and the power lines. Everything I can find on the subject also says that Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1990. Here is where my problem comes into play. I was honorably discharged from the Navy on November 28, 1988. This is not a joke. I have very clear memories of that day in Hawaii but I was discharged from the Navy 2 years before Stevie Ray died, according to everything I've read including the CD I bought. I'm starting to think I passed through a time vortex or something. I was wondering if anyone out there has any memory of or anything in writing that states that Stevie Ray Vaughan died in 1988 or 1987. This is really starting to bug me.

Dear Editor:
The article Drinking Water as an Act of Love (Herald issue 14) seems suspect since it is written by research done by someone that sells bottled water. I have seen studies from a sports research center in South Africa that are in complete opposition to this story.

Dear Editor:
I saw," What the Bleep" last year at my local UU church. My girlfriend
and I had already been fans of quantum theory and amateur enthusiasts. We
instantly fell in love with the film and were more than thankful something
like this had finally come out to the general public. I am more than eager to see "Down the Rabbit Hole" and plan on getting it ASAP.
The most profound thing the film and the information (books and this site) have done for me is to help flesh out my own therapy. Next > 1 2 3
