from Julio:

<< Dear Karen Dee,
I can't recall the article you mention. However, I do
remember a short one by Fred Rickey in _Mathematics
Magazine_ [vol 65 (1992), no 4, pp 219-225] entitled
"How Columbus Encountered America".
Aren't we directing our attention to the same paper?

Karen Dee replies:

Of course, Julio has saved the day again. Thank you, Julio. Why I put l996
for the Rickey reference, instead of l992 (500 years after Columbus), is
beyond me.
I know those who use Julio's full reference above and read the article will
be pleased.

Cheers, Karen Dee
