          "text": "To Peter Stephenson:\n\nYour idea of R=Robert is interesting in a slightly different context. While\nthere are no Roberts listed as family members of GW, in VRT there are _two_\nRobert Culots, and their relationship is the same as Roy Emersons I and II:\ni.e., grandfather and grandson. The Proustian de Loup tie-in is lagniappe.\nThanks for bringing it to my attention.\n\nTo Tony Ellis:\n\nI like your idea that little Victor may have thought his room and seat\nnumber were as important as his name. It's also possible he was simply\nplaying dumb, as his father taught him to do (Marsh, in fact, initially\nthinks him retarded).\n\nR=Roncevaux (french for thorn) has not nearly the thematic resonance for me\nas Roy. Also try saying the name Victor Roncevaux Trenchard fast 3X.\n\nI'd also like to suggest something else, Tony. When I originally looked at\nthe numbers in Rm E2S14 Seat 18, I thought they might have signaled a date\nof significance--2/14/(19)18--maybe a birth or a death or an anniversary,\nbut fruitlessly failed to find corroborative dates. Then just after I sent\nmy first VRT post, I wondered what would happen if I utilized the simplest\nof all possible codes, where A=1, B=2, etc..\nThis would give us an N and R to work with, and if we ignore the lower case\nm/e/a/t, we're left with R E 2 S N R. Could this possibly signify 2 Roy\nEmersons, SoN/SeNioR? If not, it's a strange, if admittedly forced\ncoincidence.\n\nTo Tania Ruiz:\n\nYour constellation info was very interesting. Any chance it reveals which\nstar the two planets Ste. Anne--Ste.Croix might orbit? mantis and I might\nwant to go there some day, maybe hunt a few alzabos.\n\nRobert Borski"
