WHAT IS IT? Marissa Jones wants to know. She found it in her father's things last year. She says her dad, Larry Southwick went to Berkeley, worked at Patrick in FL in military with satellites and rockets, NASA and TRW in Redondo Beach, California with Shuttle, Kodak in NY with health imaging. "My Dad worked with NASA, this was found in a box with satellite materials, but he also liked to tinker at home." Prior to that, he repaired TVs.
