But, that isn't to say when he closed or sold the store in the early 1980s, he didn't go to Groom Lake. I don't recall when he left Los Alamos. Prior to closing or selling, he said he bought into the brothel, and had T-shirts and postcards or cards of some kind at the store advertising the Moonlight Ranch. In fact, I bought a shirt, but my wife wouldn't let me wear it and it disappeared from the house. All I can say is, he knew photography and he certainly knew jet engines - based on the car he built - and he learned about both subjects somewhere. I never hung out with him, but did spend time in the store shooting the breeze and, maybe, hoping he'd cut me a deal on a lens or film. He never did.</blockquote>
