   Hi, again   
      
   Have searched in my RMD folio and discovered this reply in 2005:   
      
   "Underhill's a guy from New Jersey who was a student at the University of   
   Wisconsin in 1961 when Bob was hanging out there debating about going back   
   to Minn or on to the east coast.  He had made it as far as Chicago, but then   
   doubled back up as far as Madison.  Underhill had a place on campus where   
   local muscians sometimes hung out.  Underhill was the person who actually   
   got Bob to NY.  A friend of his was looking for a couple relief drivers to   
   make the trip and he asked Bob to come along.  Underhill also apparently   
   clued Bob in about Greystone hospital and how he might reach Woody Guthrie."
