A popular, long-running BBC Quiz Show called "QI" mentioned my name on one of their "C" episodes - "C" for Corby, UK (a town in north England). They've been running through the alphabet over the years.

Andrew Rees, a friend of my brother Steve's from our years in Tenby, Wales, UK (1962-1964) rediscovered me this way:

"LAST SATURDAY I WAS WATCHING A PROGAMME ON BBC 1 HERE IN SUNNY OLD PEMBROKESHIRE AND LO AND BEHOLD THE NAME CORBY WASTE CAME UP. THE PROG IS CALLED 'QI' AS IN 'QUITE INTERESTING', A SORT OF A PANEL GAME HOSTED BY STEPHEN FRY. THEY HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT CORBY IN THE UK, THE CORBY TROUSER PRESS, CORBY WASTE DISPOSAL ETC AND FRY MENTIONED YOUR NAME IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR WORK AT JPL."

I'm mentioned beginning about 5:30 minutes into the show but it's best to just start at the beginning. All the guests are well-known English comedians and they have fun being witty. It's kind of a game show. It all happened because of "my crater" on Mars (see link below). "Corby Crater" is a real crater on Mars and that led me to being mentioned on the show. But you'll have to see it to believe it! Having lived in Tenby, Wales makes this very special.

Fun facts: QI stands for Quite Interesting. (more about QI here). The host Stephen Fry is very well known in the UK (click here at Amazon.com if you don't believe it). "Fry and Laurie" was very famous (Hugh Laurie now plays a doctor on House).

My favorite, though, is that Stephen Fry did the voice of the Cheshire Cat in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
