FANDOM I uploaded nearly 60 articles to Bowie Station a while back. Not my articles but a series I found way back in the early 2000's on the Usenet discussion groups. I was so intrigued by them I saved them all. They were written by a man in Canada named Jamie Soule who went by the screen name AladInsaNE.
