I was actually serious-Jacob Warren Bowman (J.W. Bowman) of Bowman Gum fame lived in Mexico and the American Southwest as a child. The initials, last name and locale from the PC fit and it's probably just a coincidence but an intriguing one. Ted may know a little more about his whereabouts as a kid and I was thinking of his father as a possible recipient since he was probably too young at the time to have received samples but I think he was 13-14 years old when that PC was sent.
