CARAS) laKO) PAE Late one evening as we were re- turning from a trip into the Blue Ridge Mountains, on the Sky Line Drive—we were astonished to see a bright shining object come hurtling from the fast darkening sky and alight just before us on the pave- ment. Dying of curiosity, we came to a screeching halt and all got out to see what this “trick” was. Suddenly a door burst open! Imagine our sur- prise when Flash Gordon stepped out and beckoned to us.
