- Hey Tom! I have been meaning to say hello! Glad you posted here. Yes - Mark Liepke (Fritz) is still around. He is in Syracuse. He has a facebook page, so I just sent him a note. He will get on here I am sure of that, so keep looking for him.

They hid it in the wiring runs above Launcher. It went off every night at midnight. It took us days to find it, since we had such a limited window of opportunity to listen for it. This became an ongoing game between our crews. Great stuff!
