Dallas Morning News article about Barry Popik (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

Unfortunately, it appears the DMN misspelled Barry's daughter's name
(Fedilia instead of the correct Fidelia).  No matter -- if Barry's
pictures can be trusted, they are adorable little kids.
