                    For thirty years, Hiroo Onoda was stuck in that time warp known as 1944.  The rest of the world continued to change around him, but Onoda stayed the same.  When he reemerged into our modern world, he was not prepared for what he would see.  Onoda, of course, never did travel into space.  Instead he

                    What makes a hero?  Webster’s defines a hero as a person “of distinguished courage, moral or physical; chief character in a play, novel, poem, etc.”  One of my wife and my favorite movies is “The Princess Bride.”  One character of the movie, Inigo Montoya, fits the definition of hero found in the
