I "remember" something like this. Jim Shea used to make that same joke about me, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory. I have often thought over the past 9 years that photos of John McCain from the 1960's resemble Jim Shea. It could be that I was being held in that same cage with them at the time. I "remember" a guy named Larry Johnson who had been hit in the face and his eye was swollen closed. I've been trying for a while to "remember" that Alabama town Larry was from but I never can remember the name.

McCain did the same in a recent visit to Mike Christian's home state of Alabama, holding Republicans spellbound at a recent state GOP dinner.
Before a rapt audience of more than 500, McCain recalled how Christian, a cellmate from Huntsville, became an inspiration for him and other prisoners of war. He described how the feisty Navy bombardier stitched together an American flag from scraps of cloth, and even though his captors found it and beat him severely, he made another.
"He came from a very poor family. He told me that he didn't wear a pair of shoes until he was 13 years of age. He enlisted in United States Navy" as a way to build a better life and eventually became an officer, McCain said.
In their concrete-floor cell with a single bulb hanging in each corner, Christian fashioned a needle out of bamboo and used scraps of cloth to stitch an American flag inside his prison shirt.
"Every evening before we had our bowl of soup of undetermined content, we'd take Mike's shirt with the flag sewn inside of it and say the Pledge of Allegiance," McCain said.
"Some guys had already been there as long as seven years - being able to pledge our allegiance to our flag and our country was indeed the most important part of our day."
McCain said the Vietnamese captors found Christian's flag and beat him "very soundly." When Christian was brought back to the cell, McCain and others tried to help with his broken ribs and bruises. Then as McCain started to go to sleep, he said, he looked in one corner of the cell and was surprised by what he saw.
"Sitting there beneath that dim light bulb with a piece of white cloth and a piece of red cloth and another shirt with his eyes almost closed from the beating he received was my friend Mike Christian sewing another American flag," McCain said.
"He was doing that because he knew how much it meant to us to pledge our allegiance to our flag and our country."
Charlotte Strong Neal, who was Christian's wife, said McCain's recounting of what happened in Vietnam is nearly all true, except her husband didn't grow up as poor as McCain makes out.
"Every time I see John, I tell him Mike had shoes," she said.
Of all the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers in the U.S. Navy I have examined, they are always commissioned into active service on a Saturday. The commissioning date of the USS Cole DDG-67 suggests to me I scheduled the commissioning date to represent the date 6/7/1976, which I recognize as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. That day-of-week scheduling constraint means you could be off by as much as 6 days from the target date. In this case, the result I expect to see is off by only 2 days, which is well within the constraint range.

I couldn't remember if the space shuttle flight STS-67 was timed to point to 5/1/1967 or to my landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This detail makes me think of the age difference between my wife, Phoebe, and me. The space shuttle flight STS-67 was the 8th flight of the orbiter vehicle Endeavour and I was 8 years old on 5/1/1967. I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-67
STS-67 is a Space Shuttle program mission.
Launch: March 2, 1995
Landing: March 18, 1995
The pilot of space shuttle flight STS-67 forms a connection with Phoebe, those 8/13/1982 movies I have written about, and the day I recognize as landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe.
Specifically, the three movies that premiered nation-wide on 8/13/1982 that I was believe are associated with me and Phoebe are: "Fast Times At Ridgemont High," "An Officer And A Gentleman," and "Pink Floyd The Wall." There is only a difference of 4 days as described in the calculation below that compares the age of the STS-67 pilot at my landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe to my wife's age at the nation-wide premiere of those movies. I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. The difference is only 2 days if you count it from 6/9/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I launched from the Saturn moon Phoebe to intercept the comet and to set to work at diverting it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_G._Gregory
William George "Borneo" Gregory (b. May 14, 1957) is a former NASA astronaut. He also a retired air force lieutenant colonel.
Gregory served as the STS-67 pilot on the seven-person astronomical research mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Launching from the Kennedy Space Center on March 2, 1995, and landing at Edwards AFB on March 18, 1995, the crew established a new mission duration record of 16 days, 15 hours, 8 minutes and 46 seconds, while completing 262 orbits and traveling nearly seven million miles. This second flight of the ASTRO telescope primary payload also included numerous secondary payloads.
The launch date of that 9/12/1993 space shuttle flight STS-51 creates a precise anchor with 6/7/1976, which is the day I recognize as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe.
Connecting space shuttle flight STS-51 to the Saturn moon Phoebe was probably done because of 5/1/1967, the date I think I first flew a jet and because of the similarity with the 6/7/1976 date of that landing on Phoebe at Saturn.

I recognize the time period 6/7/1976 to 6/9/1967 as when I was on the Saturn moon Phoebe. This actor, who starred along with Phoebe in this movie, was 15.9 years old during the time I was at the Saturn moon Phoebe. I haven't seen this movie, that I can recall, but I was looking at some screenshots of the movie and I found it interesting to note that I don't think that was her body in those nude scenes.

Paradise (1982) .... David
I noted earlier some observations about the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck, including the movie, "Cool Runnin." I can't remember for certain, but my thoughts suggest that I participated in that competition under the alias Thomas Kohler. I haven't seen this 1983 movie Phoebe starred in, but from what I read in this information from the internet, her character was romantically interested in the character named "David." The actor who portrays "David" was just about the same age as when I was at the Saturn moon Phoebe as as Thomas Kohler's age at the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck.
There is also the notion I noted earlier that the Phoebe of mythology is the sister of Apollo. I don't know precisely what happened on 2/5/196, but that date has come up before relevant to me and it is within the time period of the 1964 Winter Olympics. And "Mitchell" reminds me of Mount Mitchell in North Carolina but I can't remember precisely why that is. That name also reminds me of the name Michelle.

I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as my first day on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I left on 6/9/1976 for my 7/2/1976 interception of the comet, somewhere above the ecliptic. The actor who portrays the brother of “Elliott” was 3459 days old on my second day on the Saturn moon Phoebe. The reason, I assume, for casting him as the brother of "Elliot" is probably in reference to the mythological figure Phoebe, whose brother was Apollo. That movie has a lot of other details associated with my mission to the comet, as described earlier.

This is recognized as a composite image of Neil Armstrong on the Earth's moon, but it is especially interesting now, considering that I have been to Saturn and Jupiter. I guess that is supposed to be Jupiter to the left of the image, but it would not have been that big in any image of me standing on the moon Callisto. I made that illustration a while back of how big Saturn would have looked from the moon Phoebe. I haven't made the same calculation for the Jupiter moon Callisto, but I doubt Jupiter would have looked much bigger that Saturn. I would not have survived very long from the radiation if I had gotten so close to Jupiter. That 6/5/1981 date stamp in the photo caption was 59 months, 4 weeks, 1 day after 6/7/1976, which might be a 59-41 clue. I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I landed on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I guess that could be Saturn in the image. I tend to think of Saturn as blueish in color, but I have started noticing photos lately that show it as a tan or brownish color.
I noted earlier that when Neil Armstrong was on the Earth's moon with Apollo 11, he didn't have those red stripes on his space suit. They also didn't send those lunar rovers along until later Apollo flights.

This is one of the actresses, along with her twin sister, that portrayed the child "Jenny Lerner" gave up her seat on the helicopter for. This would have been difficult to get a precise match for because the movie was scheduled for a certain year, which determined the age of the actress that was needed. The difference of her age to Angelina's is almost the same as my age when I intercepted the comet. The difference is only 29 days. I recognize the date 7/2/1976 as when I intercepted the comet.

The last known lunar landing, with Apollo 17, was a Monday, and the day I recognize as landing on the Saturn moon Phoebe was a Monday.

The day 6/7/1976 is the date I recognize as when I arrived at the Saturn moon Phoebe. The single track “Rio” from Duran Duran released 334 weeks after 6/7/1976. At that time in 1982, I would have been out in the U.S. Navy fleet flying the F-14 Tomcat, where the person in the backseat of that aircraft was called the R.I.O., or Radar Intercept Officer. There is probably some kind of inside joke between us that she was my RIO when I was home. Something like that. Something about how I thought of her.
