Schwinn, I'm an old and antique hombre...remember so well the DANNY DUNN books. Seems the crew contrived a time machine that landed them in Dr. Franklin's yard just before the Revolution. And didn't he meet them that night with a lamp in one hand and a pistol in the other? "Explain yourselves, gentlemen!"
And they did explain, and all was well. Well, not =all=. How to get back to their own time? Electricity was needed... Danny, as always, had the answer. "Leyden jars in series!"
"But can you not tell me more of what is to come? How our new nation will fare?"
"Doctor, we cannot...I'm sure you understand why."
"Yes...my knowing may change what is your future, but is now the present..."
And naturally Danny chimed in:
"Doctor Franklin..."
"Yes, son?"
"Well, sir, remember this...we're from 200 years in the future. But we knew who you were!"
