Tom Swift junior in my case. I rigged up a flashlight bulb with two wires to a battery under the covers to do it. My eyesight hasn't been the same since. maybe you are referring to: Swift (sw*ft), Gustavus Franklin. 1839-1903. American meatpacker who was the first to use refrigerated railroad cars (1877). or Swift, Jonathan. 1667-1745. Irish-born English writer known for his satirical works, including Gulliver's Travels (1726) and A Modest Proposal (1729). Speaking of mistaken identities perhaps people on this list should specify which Mark is their subject: Mark Rabiner: Me Mark Newport, new guy Mark Cohen, newer guy Marc James Small, been around guy, He's been addressed as "Mark" plenty of times. Our posts overlapped on the cold light head and I don't know jack about Costa Rica. Mark Rabiner Hey Mark! Hey Tom! Hey Dick! Hey Harry! Do you "Yahoo"? Not on the first Date!
