G: of the people like Herbie Reel and others who have made quite a name for themselves in

 meteorology since and, oh boy, there goes my name problem again. The guy at Wisconsin

 who works on paleo- climates, Reed. Reed Bryson. Yeah, that's his name, isn't it?

 Reed Bryson.

W: Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't know.

G: Yeah, he's a meteorologist who's been working on paleo-climates and the influence of

 those on pre-history in part, and his interest comes out of that same program of sitting

 around and talking to Bob Brarood during the period when the weather maps were being

 prepared.

W: So was Braywood just kind of working there or was he...?

G: Yeah, he was on the faculty, but everybody was suppose to be picking up something,

 mean, were you aware of it as a student, or was it pretty much

G: We knew nothing and I had a roommate in chemistry who was working for Metalurgy, which

 was the name of the, which the project went under, or he didn't know anymore about what

 he was doing than we did, although we thought he was quite paranoid when he started

 reporting to us he was being followed.

W: He was doing that from work. 7
