Novel - Rivers of Belief by Richard
Craig Anderson (Kwaj 1989-92)
Michael Brennan is a cop in pursuit of a serial rapist–and the rapist has
targeted Natasha Panova, the love of Michael's life.
Ocean City, Maryland is a gemstone among the east coast resorts, a city of
old values and older sins. In 1994 a predator moves at will through a town
overflowing with tourists, and it appears that he's a cop. Or is he?
Michael is a compassionate ladies man. He takes a personal interest in the
vicious but seemingly unrelated attacks because he is a pro, and because
he's known abuse. Two others are drawn into the hunt: Michael's courageous
friend Officer Levi Hart, and Natasha–a brilliant waitress who dances to a
logical beat. Levi knows one of the victims–but he's reluctant to say
why–and Natasha knows that she is next on the rapist's list. Together, they
trace the clues.
As Michael closes in he discovers that he's become a suspect, and when a
jealous coworker threatens to derail the investigation, he realizes that his
crusade for justice may cost him his soul, Levi his honor, and Natasha her
life. When Michael finally confronts the rapist, he turns out to be someone
who was there all along– but nobody noticed.

| I am looking for anyone who knew
Tullus and Johnye Crawford My
parents will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in April. In
celebration of their stay in on Kwajalein in the early 60’s, I am looking
for anyone who knew them to send me any old photographs or fond memories of
my parents. My parents are Tullus and Johnye Crawford. Johnye was a
secretary to Army and then later Marine officers. Tullus did not work for
the military, but was an engineer (I think with Western Electric or General
Electric). Thanks for your help! Jacqueline Crawford-Jones,

What makes Pohnpei pepper so special? Pohnpei has ideal pepper growing
conditions. Ninety percent of the pepper in the world comes from India, Indonesia,
Brazil and Malaysia. Pohnpei certainly can't compete since it has only 130 square
miles of total area and only 40 acres of this is planted in pepper. Pepper plants
need a lot of water; at least 100 inches of rain a year with even distribution. They
don't tolerate a dry season and they love heat. Some people swear by white pepper
and some love the black, both are available, and they com from the same plant. The
black pepper berries are picked when fully grown but still green and then dunked in
scalding water and baked or sun-dried to darken, and the milder white pepper is harvested
from fully ripe red berries which then ferment in water for eight days, their red skins
rubbed off, and then they are baked or dried in the sun. |

Fishing News from Kentucky
Ed Hamblin and I played music together in the mid 1990s at Kwaj. Ed and his wife
Kerry both were good friends on Kwajalein and we continue to stay in contact. Ed
provided me pictures of his daughter great fishing experience. At right is one of
her larger catches of the day. This was caught from his farm pond in Stamping
Ground, KY. |

| Tsunami Risk at Kwajalein Kevin Quinn, mitquinn@comcast.net, Fremont, CA USA. I was
indirectly involved with Kwajalein in the early 80's. I worked with Global Associates and
tried to work on the workers compensation insurance for the employees on the island.
I asked my contact in Oakland about the risk of a tsunami wiping out the place. He told me
the risk was nil, as the drop off from the shore to the ocean floor was severe, and the
shock waves from a quake would not be slowed down as they approached, and then passed
over, Kwajalein. After the tragedy in Asia this past weekend, I see that Maldives
got hammered, and they are a nation of small islands. Anyone have any thoughts on
this? |

reason to return to them because everything stays the same – day after day, week
after week, month after month and year after year! The "Featured Items"
window showcases an item for that day, and "Bonus Buys" are items that are on
sale or on clearance. Prices change every day! Please note that a "return" for

to check on "Bonus Buy’s" and encourage you to do so. We hope you will

| Wanted Swizzle Sticks They may be trash and not worth much, but don't throw those
old swizzle sticks away. I belong to ISSCA (International Swizzle Stick Collectors
Association) and I would love to have those old discards. Our next bi-annual convention
will be held this year in Las Vegas, August 6th to 8th. We do a lot of trading and have
piles of sticks for members to sort through for ones they don't have. If you have a
collection, large or small or just a few I'd love to have them. Don't let e-bay or antique
shops mislead you on their value. I will be glad to pay postage or even a modest sum. Mike
