Your Reassuringly Hyperbolic Self

Ah, my friend, in fine form, as usual; just as I remember you -- the master of overstatement! Surely my knowledge of Mr. Culp is in no way as formidable as yours! My knowledge only derives from what I gleaned from getting to know Jason all those years ago, and what I have gleaned in my casual but consistent study of the series itself and the stories surrounding it (aided, as noted earlier, by the new I Spy book - very informative in spite of its lapses). At any rate, thank you and Becca and dear Tatia for your hearty welcome! Let the exchange begin!

p.s. Not to be didactic, but I think you meant "rapprochement", not rapproachment -- maybe you had REPROACHING on your mind!
