I heard the same two things about 1096, when I did it in ‘79...
In custody, I thought. It’s a ten code. 10-4? What’s yer 1020?

The 10.96 naming probably had nothing to do with being hard 5.10. I think Phil Gleason came up with the name. In any case, the FA was in 1972, the year before Jim came up with the letter grades. But the connection would have seemed obvious, and funny, after-the-fact.

Mission accomplished...George Lowe and I just returned from a five day trip to the seldom visited Avellano Towers in Patagonia. I released Jim’s ashes to the Patagonia winds from the summit of a beautiful granie tower moments after a condor soared below the white on top of it’s wings flashing in the sunlight.
TR to follow.
