Folks,
I apologies in advance for a slight thread drift.
Creamie,
Don't knock (formerly) Hizonna Marcus Einfled's old alma mater, it's one of the longest running post boxes at Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles.
Pacific Western University (one and the same) provided PhD's for all Werner Von Brauns "other ranks" when the east coast intelligentsia wouldn't deal with anybody not "suitable qualified". It was Ben Rich, from the Lockheed Skunk Works who got the idea, and organised a job lot of PhDs, probably got a bulk discount. Suddenly, Corporal Schmidt became Herr Doctor Schmidt, problem of perception of competence solved.
Tootle pip!!
