                      Boulder, CO  80303

Bibliography:  Age 28, I've had an interest in tornadoes
since I was a kid growing up in Connecticut.  I saw my first
tornado when I was 14, in Boston on August 9, 1972.  My next
encounter with tornadic storms was during the spring of 1981
when I was stationed at Altus AFB, OK.  On April 11, a severe
storm with a wall cloud moved over the the city.  Then on
May 22, I watched the convective towers develop to my north
which produced the Clinton and Binger tornadoes.  I'll never
forget listening to the Clinton radio station giving a play
by play description of the tornadoes in progress then getting
knocked off the air.  That was the day I should have gone AWOL.
