Michael Reagan resembles Dale Parker in this photo. And that dog, Pogo. Reminds me of a German Sheperd that Randy Romine had. I "remember" that pogo stick I was jump on at Dale Parker's parent's house outside De Queen. That was the place I wanted to cut out a message in the grass with the lawn mower. I "remember" Dale's father yelling at me for not staying out of the neighbor's yard, when I had built a fort in some pine trees.

My favorite part of the movie will be of all my family standing there watching my rocket traveling through the atmosphere, as though I am riding a spear or arrow launched out to the comet. I love the sound of those Saturn rockets launching out into the atmosphere.

As I recall, Phoebe Bailey wrote in a letter to me to “never forget that dance where we met because I never will.” That is quite humorous, really more humorous than I can articulate, if it represents me landing on Saturn’s moon, Phoebe. I have these moments where I want to scream because there is something locked in my mind that I can’t articulate. I was thinking something similar about the ‘darkness’ surrounding my spacecraft as I was billion miles away. There is truly a “great lakes” of emotion stored in my mind associated with so much that is forgotten. I feel this great humor in my mind about that comment from Phoebe, I feel that if I remember, I will laugh and laugh and laugh, for days on end probably.
