In my artificial and symbolic memory, I left Memphis and moved back to South Carolina to go back to working at the First Federal bank. I moved to an apartment named Hunter's Glen, which is on Issaqueena Trail in the town of Central, South Carolina, which is near the Clemson Tigers. My wife commented one time about how I told her I had moved back there because I wanted to come back to her. I think that Memphis relates to my escape from Africa in 1986 and 1987.
I moved from Memphis to a house I bought in Greer, South Carolina, at Country Club Estates, which is all in my artificial and symbolic memory. From what I can tell with a simple internet search, there is not even a house at the address I "remember" owning a house. It looks like an empty lot. I did find an image of the house I "remember" but it is too far down the street to be the result of my faulty memory. That detail was probably deliberate, because my official federal undercover identity was never really intended to be foolproof and should have given any investigator pause. The reason for the house in the town of Greer is because of the "Admiral Greer" character from the Tom Clancy novels. That character is the one that recruited "Jack Ryan" into the CIA in Tom Clancy's novels. I moved from Central, SC, near Clemson Tigers, to Greer, SC. After that I lived on the street Royal Point, then at Dresden near Sheffield, and then at Whitehall Estates. Pretty simple stuff. And 9 goddamned years later, I still do not know when I get to see my wife again.

Hopefully, this means what I think it means.

They must be referring directly to the script I created for the artifical and symbolic memories I live with now. In those artificial and symbolic memories, I guess I replaced my military service during the Vietnam War with "memories" of being a Cub Scout at that same age.
070519-N-3750S-254 KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (May 19, 2007) - "These guys are really great," says a cub scout from Pack 315 while singing along and playing air guitar with the band. He and his fellow scouts sat in the front during Navy Band Southeast group “Pride," entire set. Pride rocked the crowd of over 2,000 kids and adults gathered to listen to contemporary hits while they waited to enter the Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium just prior to a minor league baseball game. Pride is in Charlotte to support Navy Week, one of 26 planned across America in 2007. Navy Week is designed to show Americans the investment they have made in their Navy and increase awareness in cities that do not have a significant Navy presence.

I wrote the other day about my artificial memories of springing traps, and I believe this is what that artificial memory represents.
In naval aviation, a trap is a shipboard arrested landing.

I'm not sure where the 1988 release date comes from for this album, if it is relevant to my real identity, but it is interesting to note because it makes me think of my 15-month escape through Africa in 1986 and 1987. It could be that the album released on vinyl in 1988 and then on compact disc on 10/25/1990. I find that CD release date interesting because of how it relates to 11/25/1986, which is the date I recognize as when my family had a funeral service for me, thinking I had been killed when the Libyan prison I was being held in was bombed.
From 11/25/1986 to 10/25/1990 is: 3 years, 334 days
