Ever since that fateful night in 1983, “Snakes Just Want to Be Your Friend” has been seared into my memory.

In reply to Kenneth S Mason. While I was a IT contractor working in at that time WEPCO now We Energies, the newer annex building. In the basement there was a access opening to what was described to me as an access way to tunnels that are under downtown Milwaukee streets and buildings. I could see a from the opening a well structured tunnel with stone supports. I stepped into the tunnel, it had no lights that I saw and I was not able to go any further, but I could see a off in the distance what looked to be a lengthy distance, I was not able to go into the tunnel but the tunnel was easily about 6 to 7 feet tall by about 5 foot wide. Again I was told that most of the time a large piece of plywood was kept over the opening, but for some reason that day the piece of wood that day was off to the side in the hallway. If someone could do a story on the tunnels in downtown or if there is an existing news altricial let me know as I know as I would be love to read about it.

Giovanni’s / Villa Rosa had an inte-rconnection tunnel (I was told it got filled with concrete). City hall may still have tunnel extending east, containing interesting stuff.

This was really a fascinating article. I have never had any experience with underground tunnels in Milwaukee. I had never heard of Lake Emily before! Great read, loved it!

Comment on Last of the Original Rocketmen by Jackie Dannenberg

I am Konrad's widow. I fiind it interesting that you thought him "guarded" in speaking about Peenemunde. In all my time listening to him speak in public or privately about Peenemunde, he was anythng BUT guarded. He was NOT happy that the A-4 (or V-2 - he preferred to call it by its engineering title rather than the reference to war) was being used for warfare. He was of the belief that the German war effort was a losing proposition and that Hitler was nuts. But if he had ever expressed that of course it would have been catistrophic. After alll, von Braun was sent to prison for talking at a bar and was overheard by a German soldier (I think that's how the story goes but close enough) that he wasn't happy about his rocket being used it warfare - he wanted to go to the Moon. I dare say most of them felt that way. Konrad's favorite launch was the day the A-4 first successfully launched into space on October 3, 1942. That paved the way for space programs internationally - not just the U.S. Just my take on it. He normally wasn't afraid to admit if he'd heard of something or not either. Germany did alot of technological advancements however the engineers didn't know what was going on outside their own respective departments. For example, even though it was located within the Peenemunde Rocket Research area, Konrad had no idea that they had developed and constructed the first wind tunnel to exceed Mach 1. If you didn't have a badge for that area, you weren't allowed in nor did you know what was going on in any department other than your own. I guess I've explained my point. I'm glad you got to meet Konrad. He was a very impressive individual. His collection is located at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. You can make an appointment to see it any time. In it are two diaries from Peenemunde from 1941 - 1944. He has a daily log entry and it's quite detailed. Indeed, he kept a diary every day almost until his passing. Very detail oriented and very happy to share his experience and pass the torch to the next generation. He inspried many students and a few went into the aerospace industry on account of him. He spoke to over 250,000 students during his time at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.

In reply to Patty Edgar. If medicare plans on reducing what they'll pay in the near future for Remicade, led help those who can't pay the 20% now after Medicare pays the 80%. Even a second policy doesn't pick up all the remaining balance. I thought after 14yrs.pharma.started working on a generic.???? Guess too much money making in Remicade at this time!

Great article. The copay is going up 4/15/15 to a amount I can‘t afford. I shall do further research with Johnson&Johnson regarding their help.
Thanks for your research and help,

Sam Long
