And the author is rougher63. I believe Howie Randolph and Howard Randolph are the same author.

Is your belief that Howie Randolf, Howard Randolf, and rougher63 all being the same author based on actual knowledge of the author or is it based on similarities of writing styles? I am just curious and thankful if it is true.

I vaguely recall same story posted under different names (possibly at different times. But I can't find that, so it may be just similarity in styles.

I believe they are, in fact, the same writer. The Howie stories used to be longer, with more about the LA area. I was in contact with Rougher63 some years back. He was a prof at Gettysburg college and was suffering from cancer, so he may be gone(probably). He also wrote a story about a young man named John Ball (JEB), but I can't find it. Rougher 63 doesn't tespond to email.

From his profile on SOL..

rougher63 passed away April 2015 when his bone marrow transplant failed. A CPA and PhD, he was smart, witty, and determined to research the background to make his stories more realistic, and he never bought into the blow-by-blow sex scenes many SOL authors write.

The link is in the post.. :)

But it wasn't when I read it. You posted your update while I wrote, so my answer came slightly too late (2 min, 28 sec). :(
