Subject: Where abouts of Mark Harris from Nebraska?

I have been told that Mark Harris from Nebraska wrote the funniest 
kite article I have read.  This article was written in 1993 while he 
was in Australia on exchange.  It was faxed anonomously and has 
caused not chuckles, but really gut wrenching hoots of laughter from 
almost everyone who has read it.  It is possible that this article 
has now been printed in the States as a copy was passed that way 
earlier this year.

I would like to check that he did in fact write the article,  and if 
he minds if I post it to Internet.

It is a rare gem of an article,  demonstrating an incredibly damaged 
psyche,  and an urgent need for the author to seek treatment for a 
seriously bent sense of humour...


to quote a short extract.....
"Kiters compete there to strict rules, bloody strict,  I tell you.  
We have our own rule book, and its strict.  Everybody flies strictly 
to win and theyre serious,  and its hard to win because of the 
strictness,  so as you can see,  its a very serious strict sport,  
its not some light hearted little thing.  Theres no fun in having 
fun,........"  

Samuel Beckett.... eat your heart out.....

Anyway,  if anyone knows an email address or phone or fax number,  
please let me know.  Thanks.
