This story is provided by Arup's daughter, Beatrice (Garson) Johnson and family. Beatrice found the story in 1986. Dan Brock is not a real person but, per Arup, does represent at least one such person with similar behavior. Please read and copy to enjoy this account. This story is not to be published for profit, as you might suspect.
