I have it on good authority that John Winters is the invention of Dr. Inverbon and not the other way around. It has been clear all along. The clue was in the choice of last name. In a hurry to create a fictitious character and wishing to place him in a northern setting, Winter or Winters was a quick easy choice for a name. He could have used Snow as a last name but then that may have gotten people thinking that what Dr. Inverbon was saying through his character was a snow job. If Dr. Inverbon had wanted to set his character in California he might have called him John Sunshine or in New York City, John Macadamia (as in the nut). ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
