Barbara Bowen THE RED AND BLACK 17 accepted. Whether we went up or down, I do not recall, but I do remember that we stopped very suddenly. When I stepped out I came up with a thud and I slowly came to the realization that I had come back to earth. I don't know whether this was a bad dream or an actual happening, but anyway, it was fun while it lasted. VIRGINIA MORSE. LQGQ5-5 Class Statistics .
