The recent observations on the Moody Institute remind me that it was
probably Moody that fired up my interest in Tesla coils just 60 years ago
this year.  As a kid of 11 I would go, after school, to the World's Fair
at Treasure Island, San Francisco, always trying to visit my favorite
attraction which must have been put on by Moody:  An evangelical preacher
illustrating his sermons with appropriately-timed discharges from two
large Tesla coils.  His sermons didn't persuade me but I have vividly
remembered his props.  So finally, after 60 years of meaning to get
around to it, I'm "doing" t.c.'s.

Does anyone else remember those events?
